Signal and Lighting Recertification

 

Web-based eLearning course

Description

This course is to review and stay up to date on the latest changes in technology, components, contract documents, and construction procedures for MnDOT traffic control signals and lighting systems. The course is designed for those whose MnDOT Signal and Lighting certification is still valid but near expiration and allows them to maintain their certification for an additional 5 years. This is a web-based eLearning course with self-paced modules.

Each student will need to complete a 60 question test that requires a 70 percent score to be recertified. If you get between 60% and 69% on your first attempt at the exam, you will be allowed to take it one more time to achieve a 70%. If you get lower than 60% on the exam, you will have to re-register and take this course again in order to take the recertification again. eLearning is an asynchronous self-directed online class using the internet and a computer or tablet to complete the course work.

Audience

State, county, city, contractors and consultants whose signal and lighting certification is due for renewal.
