Construction Inspector Certification Program
About the Program
The Construction Inspector Certification program was created by CDOT in 2004 to develop a qualified inspection staff to obtain a higher-quality end product on the highway. All construction inspectors—whether from CDOT or a consultant—must demonstrate proficiency by passing the required exams and earning certification within the developed categories (Engineers-in-Training are exempt from the Basic Highway Math Exam).
There are three categories of inspector exams:
- Basic Highway Math
- Basic Highway Plan Reading
- Basic Construction Surveying
Each exam can be purchased for $40.00 by CDOT consultant partners through CDOT’s learning management system, the SOC Learns Training Portal.
