Transportation Engineering Training Program

Program Overview

CDOT’s Transportation Engineering Training Program (TETP) develops and hosts roadway design and construction training for CDOT engineering staff, consultant partners, contractors and local agency personnel. TETP courses emphasize CDOT-specific processes and procedures and are available in a variety of learning formats, including:

• Self-paced online e-learning
• In-person instructor-led training (ILT)
• Virtual instructor-led training (VILT)
• Technical video training

All TETP training is accessed through CDOT's learning management system, the State of Colorado (SOC) Learns Training Portal. TETP e-learning courses are free for both CDOT employees and external partners. Instructor-led trainings are hosted between October and May every fiscal year (July 1 through June 30).
