Asphalt Plant 1 Review & Certification Course

This is not a training course. It is a review & certification course for experienced technicians directly involved with asphalt pavement construction, testing and inspection. A working knowledge of basic pavement construction principles and procedures is necessary.

Prior to Registering for a Course:

  1. Please Read PennDOT Publication 351 to Review the Requirements.
  2. Check your Current Knowledge: Take this Pre-Course Evaluation Exam. If you score 72% or less, you may want to take a course on the basics of asphalt BEFORE registering.
  3. Obtain a PSU User ID (REQUIRED ON APPLICATION) IF you do not already have one: Visit https://accounts.psu.edu, select CREATE MY ACCOUNT and enter the required information. The process is simple and you should receive an email with your User ID quickly. Keep this information required to log into Canvas later if a retest is needed. (A User ID has several letters and numbers.) This is required on all applications.

In-Person Courses are three (3) consecutive days and may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment OR changed to online courses due to future safety guidelines regarding COVID.
