Highway Technician Certification Program

The Highway Technician Certification Program (HTCP) certifies that you have demonstrated abilities to engage in quality control or quality assurance activities in highway work contracted by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).

Through revisions in its specifications and contractual practices, WisDOT has developed quality management program specifications, placing the responsibility of quality control in the hands of the contractor. WisDOT has specified as part of its work provisions that all highway construction materials personnel be qualified through the HTCP to sample and test construction materials to ensure the highest quality product is being produced. Visit the HTCP website to learn more about this program.
