Substance Abuse Professional Qualification and Update Training Information
EAPA provides DOT/SAP qualification and update classroom training and the DOT exam
Many EA professionals also provide DOT defined substance abuse professional (SAP) services. Some EAPs have little or no contact with employees who fall under these regulations. The EAP and SAP roles are not equivalent. It is very important that EAPs who work with employees presenting with drug or alcohol concerns who perform DOT defined safety-sensitive duties assist them without violating DOT regulations.
SAP Qualifications: 49 CFR, part 40, Subpart O states a SAP must possess certain credentials (CEAP or other listed credential), have knowledge and experience in substance abuse disorders, receive training on DOT regulations, and achieve a passing score on an examination. There is an additional continuing education requirement to complete 12 hours of professional development relevant to the performance of SAP duties, including information regarding any changes to the regulations. This must be completed within three years of the date of successful completion of the exam.
CEAPs are eligible to become SAPs: EAPA encourages all EA professionals and SAPs to obtain the CEAP credential.
Knowledge and experience in substance abuse disorders: Your CEAP credential or license does not automatically confer these knowledge requirements. You must be knowledgeable about and have clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol and controlled substances-related disorders
Qualification and update training: EAPA offers this training as a Pre-Conference Training Course. See EAPA's Annual World EAP Conference information for registration information.
Preparing for the SAP exam: Once you have met the other requirements, you may take the SAP exam. Be prepared to answer detailed questions regarding the entire 49 CFR, part 40 regulations and the Substance Abuse Professional Guidelines published by the United States Department of Transportation.
For additional information, visit the Substance Abuse Professional General Information section of the Department of Transportation's Office of Drug & Alcohol Policy & Compliance.
