Work Zone Qualification Training Program

In 2007 the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued the Policy and Procedures for the Safety and Mobility of Traffic Through Work Zones with a primary goal of reducing crashes and injuries in and around highway work zones; as well as providing a safe and efficient environment for workers. The Work Zone Traffic Control Employee Qualification Program has been developed to meet this need.

A copy of the Policy and Procedures for Safety and Mobility of Traffic through Work Zones can be viewed here.

• $80 local agency employees, Basic Work Zone and Flagger Qualification
• $90 all others, Basic Work Zone and Flagger Qualification
• $150 Work Zone Traffic Control Technician
• $150 Work Zone Traffic Control Supervisor

Fee includes all materials, refreshments, and lunch. NOTE: Payment is required in advance, except employees of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

To reduce overtime and travel during this time of budget restrictions, course times have been set as follows: The on-site registration desk opens and sign-in begins 30 minutes prior to the scheduled class start time. Most classes begin at 8:00 a.m. or 8:30 a.m., and adjourn between 3:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. You will receive exact times through your confirmation letter two weeks prior to the course.

To help a participant get the most out of each training course/workshop, attendance is limited. However, without the required minimum of 15 people, a course will be cancelled. All courses are subject to change. If there are any changes, the registered party will be notified immediately. Click on the course descriptions listed above to register. NOTE: State employees wishing to register for a Work Zone Qualification Program course should contact their District Training Coordinators. All state registrations must come to us from the Training Coordinators.

If you are registered and cannot attend, please let us know at least two business days prior to the workshop. If we do not receive advance notice of your cancellation, you will be charged the full registration fee. Someone may substitute for you at any time. All cancellations will be given a cancellation number.
