DER Training — NSCI 2-Year Refresher
NSCI recommends a refresher every 2 years. Part 40 does not set a federal DER certificate or a federal renewal requirement.

The supervisor course-completion record does not expire. Complete once and retain it.
Training, recordkeeping, and workflow tools
Built for DERs, compliance managers, and HR teams at transportation companies of all sizes.
DER Responsibilities Training
Every DOT-regulated employer must designate a DER (49 CFR §40.3). Complete the NSCI course on selected DER responsibilities at your own pace and receive a verifiable course-completion record on passing the scored course assessment. Completion is not a DOT or FMCSA certification, license, approval, or endorsement.
Test Record Management
Track pre-employment, random, post-accident, and follow-up drug and alcohol test records with full chain-of-custody documentation.
Supervisor Training
Reasonable-suspicion training for supervisors and company officials designated to supervise drivers subject to 49 CFR Part 382. May also be used as voluntary training for other personnel. Sold per seat as a standalone course, or assigned from the Tier 2 platform.
Certificate Verification
Every course-completion record includes a unique QR code. Anyone can check the record number and the completion fields NSCI makes public — no login required.
DER Decision Engine
Work through removal, SAP referral, and return-to-duty steps with the Part 40 citation recorded beside each answer. The DER makes every determination — NSCI records it with a server timestamp.
In-App Alerts
In-app alerts flag post-accident testing windows as they run down, plus DER refresher dates, stalled tests, and unresolved incidents. Alerts are based on the information entered and configured by your organization. Supervisor reasonable-suspicion completion records do not expire under 49 CFR § 382.603 and are not tracked for renewal.
Why serious DERs choose this platform
Any platform can check the minimum boxes. These six capabilities are what protect your program when a DOT auditor, an attorney, or a stalled deadline shows up.
Training and records in the same system
Competitors refer you elsewhere for DER training. Here, your course-completion record, refresher reminders, and verifiable completion proof live alongside every test record you manage — one audit package, one export, one vendor.
Post-accident testing windows tracked and flagged
A monitor checks every 5 minutes and alerts the DER at 80% and 95% of each window you configure — 2-hour alcohol test, 8-hour prohibition, 32-hour drug test. Missing a post-accident window is one of the most cited § 382.303 violations. Reminders are based on the information entered; the employer and DER remain responsible for deciding whether testing is required and for completing it.
Every DER decision is documented with its regulation citation
The Decision Engine supplies prompts, the specific Part 40 citation, and a structured workflow, and records each answer with a server timestamp as it is entered. The employer and DER remain responsible for every determination. A completed session cannot be overwritten — a correction is a new session that references the original. Competitors use free-form notes.
All 6 DOT modes, records kept separate — not just trucking
DOT mode is tracked per employee, not per account. A company with FMCSA-covered CDL drivers and USCG-covered mariners manages both populations separately, in one tenant, with no data bleed between programs. Modal MIS report generation is on the roadmap.
Random-testing records today — in-house selection draw on the roadmap
Today, log and track every random test with full chain-of-custody and company attribution. On the roadmap: an in-house selection draw the company's own DER runs — an equal chance for every covered employee, draws spread across the year, and a retained record of each selection, per 49 CFR 382.305. Note: FMCSA guidance to § 382.305 provides that an employer with only one DOT-covered driver, not leased to another carrier, must join a consortium for random testing — a one-person carrier cannot run its own draw.
Incident records built to survive legal scrutiny
Reasonable suspicion reports include a structured behavioral checklist, witness names, and an append-only event log whose entries can never be edited or deleted — by anyone — with every change to the report captured in the audit trail. When an employee's attorney subpoenas the record, you produce a timestamped narrative, not a text note.
Built for regulatory scrutiny
Records are timestamped and written to an append-only ledger, and NSCI course-completion records can be verified publicly by record number.
Append-Only Audit Trail
Compliance actions are written to a timestamped, append-only ledger. Original entries are not overwritten — an authorized correction is added to the history so both the original entry and the correction can be reviewed.
Public Certificate Verification
Anyone can look up a course-completion record using its QR code or record number. Only the record number and the completion fields NSCI makes public are shown. No account or login required.
Encryption & Access Control
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest by our hosting provider. Role-based access limits each user to the records their role allows. NSCI is not itself SOC 2 certified.
Multi-Regulation Support
FMCSA · FAA · FRA · PHMSA · USCG · FTA — manage multiple DOT modes under one account.
