Work Zone Traffic Control Requalification
Are you a qualified Work Zone Traffic Control Technician or Supervisor who completed their training in 2011?  If so, then it's time to renew your qualification. 

The requalification course provides three hours of classroom instruction with one hour of testing.  You must be present for the entire course and successfully pass the test to requalify. 

Upcoming Course Dates
May 25 - Mountain Arts Center, Prestonsburg
July 13 - Fairfield Inn Lexington North
September 14 - Lake Barkley State Resort Park, Cadiz

A WZTC Technician Requalification and WZTC Supervisor Requalification will be offered on each of the above dates.  Technician Requalification is offered from 8:00 am - 12:00 noon.  Supervisor Requalification is offered from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm.    

Qualified supervisors only need to requalify for the WZTC Supervisor Requalification.  You do not need to requalify for the WZTC Technician Requalification.

If you have multiple employees who need the requalification course, on-demand training may be a good option for you.  On-demand trainings are presented to provide low-cost training to agencies. 

For additional information about scheduling a requalification on-demand course, contact Megan Perrin at 859-257-7405, or megan.perrin@uky.edu.

Sign Retroreflectivity Training
For traffic signs to be effective in providing important information to drivers, agencies should implement a sign maintenance program that addresses the MUTCD minimum requirements.  Agencies' schedules for replacing signs are based on resources and relative priorities rather than specific compliance dates. This workshop will describe methods available for local governments to choose what is best to be in compliance. This course is designed for road supervisors, public works directors and crews to perform sign retroreflectivity inspection using the approved methods by the FHWA.
