Transportation Technician Qualification Program (TTQP)

The TTQP consists of instruction and qualification based on field materials testing procedures that are agreed to by WAQTC members. The program ensures that participating individuals have demonstrated abilities to engage in quality control and quality assurance activities in transportation construction work. Oversight of the TTQP is the responsibility of the Qualification Advisory Committee (QAC) that reports directly to the Executive Committee. More in-depth information on the TTQP can be found in the WAQTC Administrative Manual. Downloadable versions of the TTQP's Field Operating Procedures (FOP's) for each qualification area can be found in the Publications section.
