Online Operator Recertification Training
The online Operator Recertification Training course is a new feature implemented by the Breath Alcohol Section. It allows the option for operators from all over the state to be able to be recertified as an operator instead of attending a class in person.
Cost
The cost of the online course is $65.00 per operator.
Application Process
The process to apply is simple. First, the operator will need to download and completely fill out the SLD 2024 IR (Infrared) 8000 Training Schedule and then email the application to DOH-Breath-Alcohol@doh.nm.gov. You may alternately fax the application to 505-383-9088.
Please be sure that all fields on the application are completely filled out and legible! The Breath Alcohol Section will verify the information on the application to ensure that the operator is authorized to take the online course. The Breath Alcohol Section will follow up on the application with a confirmation email to the operator. This confirmation email will list step-by-step instructions on taking the course as well as supplying the enrollment key.
Enrollment
Enrollments for the course will be open for a specific time period each month, set by the Breath Alcohol Section. If the operator fails to take the course in the specified time frame established by the confirmation email, the operator will have to resubmit an application and will be forced to wait for the new enrollment period.
Course Highlights
The course is separated into several sections, or modules. Each module consists of a presentation and a quiz. After all of the modules and quizzes have been completed, the operator will then be able to take the final exam. Please note, in order to pass the online recertification course, the operator must have a score of 100% to be recertified.
Once the final exam is complete and the score is acceptable, a temporary certificate will be produced that the operator can print. The Breath Alcohol Section will create and mail out the operator card.
