Requirements Available Training Dates & Locations Registration

The Kentucky Asphalt Qualification Program soon will begin its eighth season of technologist training and qualification. This program is a three-way partnership of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the Plantmix Asphalt Industry of Kentucky, and the Kentucky Transportation Center. The purpose of the program is to develop and maintain a pool of well-trained specialists for designing and managing hot-mix asphalt (HMA).

Kentucky specifications and Federal mandates require qualified technologists on all HMA projects. Individuals who have never been previously qualified as an SPT must register for the 3.5- day SPT class. Please note that this training course is not meant for novices; experience and knowledge of basic HMA concepts and testing procedures is highly recommended. Anyone seeking a SMDT (Superpave Mix Design Technologist) qualification must hold, or be registered for , the prerequisite SPT (Superpave Plant Technologist) qualification.

Requirements
Prior to enrolling in the Superpave Plant Technologist (SPT) or Superpave Mix Design Technologist (SMDT) qualification course, you should have a basic understanding of the methods and concepts involved. These courses are not for novices in this field. These classes are not intended to introduce or teach basic hot-mix asphalt (HMA) or Superpave principles. Instead, they are intended to review Kentucky procedures, familiarize experienced technologists with some important new practices, and provide an overview of the information used on a daily basis in HMA testing. Anyone seeking a Superpave Mix Design Technologist Qualification must hold, or be registered for, the prerequisite Superpave Plant Technologist Qualification.
