If the minimum score is not met the student must attend the certification course again in order to attempt certification.

We can come to you! Asphalt Institute can enter into a private contract with your organization to bring many of our existing courses to your facility. Learning at your own facility has advantages – training on your own equipment and saving on airfare and hotel expenses for your staff. Contact us for a proposal.

For a course development fee, Asphalt Institute can also create training customized to the needs of your organization. For example, Asphalt Institute has developed certification training for several DOTs, which then contract with our instructors to conduct annual in-person sessions. Customized training with Asphalt Institute brings a nationally respected third-party source for local training and certification.

Earned PDHs and certifications can be downloaded at your convenience when logged into the Asphalt Institute Learning Portal. Using the menu icon in the upper left corner, go to the “My Activities” menu option: select either the “Courses” or “Learning Plans” option from the menu on the page. To the right of each course or learning plan you have completed will be an award icon. Clicking that icon will allow you to download the desired certificate.

Registration for all Asphalt Institute PIC, webinars, or seminars is per individual. Each individual will receive PDH (Personal Development Hours) for attendance and/or a Certificate if applicable.
You may register multiple people at the same time.
Please enter the individual’s name, email address, and shipping address for read-ahead manuals. A confirmation will be sent to each individual.
When making a payment, you may use your name and credit card information. A receipt will be sent to you.

Payment and registration must be received at least ten working days before the start of the course. Cancellations received at least ten working days prior to the course start date will result in a full refund. No refunds will be provided after this date; however, substitutions will be accepted. Please contact seminars@asphaltinstitute.org. Thank you.

Although the Asphalt Institute makes every effort to conduct classes as scheduled, there is a possibility that inclement weather could prevent us from doing so safely.

If the Lexington, Kentucky area is experiencing or expecting severe weather, the instructor for the class will reach out to the students if there is a schedule change, delay, office closure and/or further information.
