USCG Certified Designated Employer Representative (C-DER) Training

This course prepares supervisors at maritime and shipping industry businesses regulated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to serve as Designated Employer Representative (DER). Developed by the National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA), it covers the drug and alcohol testing procedures required under 49 CFR Part 40, plus the USCG-specific requirements of 49 CFR Parts 4, 5, and 16 — since DOT compliance alone isn't enough for USCG-regulated employers. Students gain a full understanding of the DER role, testing procedures, and DOT modal requirements needed to keep their workplace compliant, and earn C-DER certification upon completion.

Note: Course enrollment expires 12 months from purchase date; access to your account and certificates of completion remains available after that.
