The Asphalt Technician Certification Program in Colorado is one of four programs offered by the Rocky Mountain Asphalt Education Center located in Englewood, Colorado. Established in 1996, the Laboratory for Certification of Asphalt Technicians (LabCAT) is operated by the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association in a partnership effort with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration. The LabCAT was developed to increase the proficiency of testing technicians and respond to the Federal requirements of having qualified technicians performing sampling and testing on Federal-Aid Projects. The objective of the LabCAT is to certify technicians directly involved with identifying the properties of the final asphalt product in any Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) program.

In response to Federal Aid requirements (23 CFR 637B, October 5, 1995) regarding certification of roadway technicians for quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) testing, the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) sponsored the development of the Center for Training Transportation Professionals (CTTP) at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Training and certification programs executed by CTTP include Hot-Mix Asphalt Field Technician (HMAC Tech) among others. Prerequisite to the HMAC Tech program is a training course in aggregates. The HMAC Tech program includes instruction and testing (written and performance) in the areas of sampling, gyratory compaction, volumetric analysis, asphalt content, and field density. As of November 1, 1998 eight HMAC Tech courses have been completed with a total of 150 persons attending, including 67 AHTD and 83 contractor employees. Of the 150 persons attending, 10 were unsuccessful, for a 93.3 percent pass rate. Student evaluations and anecdotal evidence indicate the program to be a resounding success.
