Program Description
This is the complete federal hazmat training stack for highway operations, delivered as a single integrated program. It includes every training category required under 49 CFR §172.704 for hazmat employees of companies subject to a §172.800 security plan, plus the §177.816 driver training required for hazmat employees who operate motor vehicles in commerce.
One purchase enrolls the learner in six courses totaling approximately 9 hours of video, with six graded knowledge checks and six auto-issued §172.704(d)-compliant certificates on completion. Built to the eCFR text current as of May 2026, including the HM-265 final rule (91 FR 1433, effective February 13, 2026) and the 2024 inflation-adjusted civil penalty amounts at §107.329.
What’s Included
Core Hazmat Employee Bundle (§172.704(a)(1)–(a)(4) · ~6 hours)
The four federally required training categories for nearly every hazmat employee, delivered as four chaptered modules:
- Module 1 — General Awareness / Familiarization (§172.704(a)(1) · ~84 min)
- Module 2 — Function-Specific Training (§172.704(a)(2) · ~115 min)
- Module 3 — Safety Training (§172.704(a)(3) · ~90 min)
- Module 4 — Security Awareness (§172.704(a)(4) · ~80 min)
Add-On 1 — In-Depth Security Training (§172.704(a)(5) · ~75 min)
Required for hazmat employees of companies subject to a §172.800 written security plan. Covers the self-assessment gate, all sixteen §172.800(b) trigger categories, the three §172.802(a) plan elements (personnel security, unauthorized access, en-route security), plan maintenance under §172.802(b), and the recognize-and-respond layer specific to (a)(5).
Add-On 2 — Driver Training (§177.816 · ~105 min)
Required for any hazmat employee who operates a motor vehicle hauling hazardous materials in commerce. Covers all four paragraphs of §177.816 including the §177.816(b) cargo-tank specialized content, the CDL HME / TSA STA / ELDT credential stack, Part 391 driver qualification, Part 395 hours of service, Part 397 driving rules, Part 382 drug and alcohol testing with the January 2023 Clearinghouse changes, and §177.854 in-transit incident response.
Who Should Take This Program
The Complete Training Program is the right purchase when a single hazmat employee, or a single buyer organization, needs the full stack. Typical buyers:
- §172.800-covered motor carriers — PIH-gas haulers, explosives carriers, HRCQ Class 7 radioactive carriers, large-bulk Class 3 / 8 / 9 carriers, ammonium-nitrate haulers
- Owner-operators hauling placardable hazmat under their own authority, who personally perform shipper, loader, driver, and sometimes packaging functions
- Hazmat shippers operating private fleets — the same employees package, prepare shipping papers, and drive the load
- Fleet training coordinators buying seats in bulk for the whole hazmat workforce in one transaction
If your operation is not subject to §172.800 (Module 4 awareness training is sufficient for your security obligation) and you have drivers, consider the smaller HazMat Driver Operations Bundle (Core + Driver) instead. If your operation has neither drivers nor a §172.800 plan, the Core Bundle alone is sufficient.
How This Program Works
- One purchase enrolls the learner in all 6 courses
- Linear progression locked: Core Bundle first, then In-Depth Security, then Driver Training
- Each course has its own graded knowledge check (40 questions across Core Bundle + 10 In-Depth + 15 Driver Training = 70 total)
- Each course issues its own §172.704(d)-compliant certificate on pass
- All six certificates plus a consolidated program-completion summary become available on full completion
- Three-year validity from each course’s completion date per §172.704(c)(2) and §177.816(d)
- Training records retained for the duration of employment plus 90 days
Fleet Pricing
Volume pricing is built in — the bigger the fleet, the better the per-seat rate. Pricing applies at the line-item level (no tiering across orders).
- 1–9 seats — $349 per seat (saves $108 vs. buying the three components separately)
- 10–24 seats — $299 per seat
- 25–49 seats — $249 per seat
- 50–99 seats — $199 per seat
- 100+ seats — custom enterprise pricing — contact us
Testing Compliance and Certificates
Each course’s graded knowledge check satisfies the testing-by-appropriate-means requirement of 49 CFR §172.702(d). Each course issues a separate certificate on quiz pass, identifying the specific CFR category satisfied (a)(1) through (a)(5) and §177.816(a) and (b) where applicable. The certificate language is regulator-verifiable: every claim on the certificate is anchored to a specific CFR section.
What This Program Does Not Cover
- Air-mode (Part 175 / IATA), rail-mode (Part 174), or vessel-mode (Part 176) training — highway mode only
- CDL hazmat-endorsement preparation under Part 383 (separate CDL-school course)
- Entry-Level Driver Training under Part 380 Subpart F (separate FMCSA-listed program)
- TSA Security Threat Assessment processing under Part 1572 (separate TSA enrollment)
- HAZWOPER beyond First Responder Awareness level (29 CFR 1910.120(q))
- The company’s actual written §172.800 security plan — that is created and maintained by the company; this program trains employees on the framework, not on the company’s specific plan content
- State-specific routing, parking, or registration rules layered on the federal HMR
- Vehicle-mechanical repair or diagnosis
