Commercial vehicle inspectors can re-certify their licenses at a one-day training held on Oct. 14 at Northwest Technical College.
The course is for inspectors whose licenses are set to expire or have expired in the last six months. The course is not intended for persons seeking to earn their initial certification. The course is given by Optivation, a joint training and custom college venture of NTC and Bemidji State University, and will be taught by qualified instructor Keith Williamson.
The course will be held in Room 328 on the NTC campus, located at 905 Grant Ave. SE in Bemidji, from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Registration is limited to 30 students on a first-come, first-served basis, and pre-registration through the Optivation website is required for all attendees.
The State of Minnesota requires that all commercial vehicles, which includes vehicles with a gross weight of more than 26,000 pounds, vehicles which transport hazardous materials in quantities that require the vehicle to be labeled, or most vehicles designed to carry 16 or more people, including the driver, be inspected annually by a certified inspector. Inspectors are required to re-certify every two years. Northwest Technical College is one of 14 approved re-certification training providers.
