Cost and Scheduling

Test Fees

• Operator certification: $300/participant/test.
• Equipment certification: $2000/profiler/test

If a profiler fails certification, a retest may be conducted at a reduced rate of $800/profiler/test provided that the retest can be scheduled and performed within the week of the profiler certification.

The applicable test fee must be paid by check, payable to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, prior to testing. If you need to cancel a test, be advised that TTI requires at least a 48-hour cancellation notice. If a cancellation is not made at least 48 hours prior to a scheduled test, payment will be required prior to scheduling a subsequent test. If you again cancel within 48 hours of the test, your payment will be forfeited.

Scheduling

To schedule an operator and/or equipment certification, e-mail TxDOTCertifications@ttimail.tamu.edu and provide the following information:

1. Your organization’s name, telephone number, and street address;
2. If you are applying for the operator certification, the number of individuals from your organization who are going to take this test, and the profiler they will be using to take the practical test;
3. If you are applying for the equipment certification, the number of profilers and the profiler models that you want to be tested; and
4. The date when you want to take the certification tests based on the schedule below.

Note: Before we can schedule an equipment certification for your profiler, we need an executable copy of the manufacturer’s filter program to process the data from the certification testing. Please talk to the manufacturer of your inertial profiler about this. TTI is not responsible for getting the appropriate filter program for your profiler.
