Empowering Designated Employer Representatives for Safe Skies
DER
Training
At CapriCo Consulting, we equip Designated Employer Representatives (DERs) with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to manage DOT and FAA Drug & Alcohol Testing Programs effectively.
Our DER training helps ensure compliance with 49 CFR Part 40 and 14 CFR Part 120, giving organizations the clarity and structure they need to maintain safety-sensitive operations.

Why DER Training Matters
DERs play a critical role in aviation safety and regulatory compliance.
They oversee testing programs, manage results, and communicate with the FAA Drug Abatement Division, making accurate knowledge and documentation essential.
CapriCo’s DER Training builds confidence in your compliance oversight, helping you avoid costly audit findings and ensure smooth inspections.
