SAPList U - Study Materials

SAPlist's Philosophy of Continuing Education

We believe that learning, knowing and functioning under this federal law is an ongoing process. While the regulation requires 12 hours of continuing education every three years, no SAP should limit their learning about changes and new guidance to just once every three years. DOT publishes new information at unpredictable intervals. A SAP who intends to stay informed and current should commit to checking for updates at least monthly.

Any SAP can visit this page at any time. There is no fee to obtain these materials. This is public information, published by DOT and the Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance. It's free.. Download them. Print them. Read them.

The regulation allows a SAP to meet the continuing education requirement at any time in each 3-year period following a SAP exam. This means that you could complete SAPlist U's continuing education module at any time. After completing the Quiz, you will be able to print a Certificate of Completion. (The fee for the Quiz and Certificate is $175. A SAP whose Profile has been on SAPlist for the previous two subscriptions has a reduced fee of only $100.)

Even if you have already met the requirement, you will want to continue studying the regulations. You're probably in your next 3-year timeframe. We would hope you will return to this page often, just to see what might have been added since your last visit. Download it, print it, and get ready to meet your next 3-year requirement.

IMPORTANT: The large document (49 CFR Part 40) may take a while to download. Be patient, especially if you have a slow connection. Speed will be improved if you close down your other programs. If it still is slow, you might try to reboot your computer completely.
