The CTQP (acronym for Construction Training Qualification Program) of the FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) is an essential part of the department's qualification for all personnel involved in the construction, supervision, inspection, and verification of its construction and infrastructure projects and contracts. The importance of the CTQP lies in providing the training and resources to develop and maintain the level of qualification of all contractors, inspectors, and engineers involved in FDOT road and structure projects within the state of Florida.

What is the purpose of the CTQP Qualification?

For the efficiency and safety of the transportation infrastructure in Florida, it is advisable to systematize construction standards, use of materials, inspect structures, and quality management, as well as train personnel for all of this. That is why Construction Engineering Contractors, Construction Engineering Inspection, and material inspection and testing firms must maintain a cadre of highly qualified inspectors, engineers, and professionals on active projects with the Florida Department of Transportation. The Construction Training and Qualification Program (CTQP), administered by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), is a modular certification framework that empowers construction technicians and contractors with the skills to inspect, test, and ensure quality across core work areas, strengthening infrastructure safety and efficiency. Currently, several inspection programs related to construction are qualified by the department within the CTQP. These programs are:

• Aggregates
• Asphalt
• Concrete
• Earth movements
• Geotechnics
• Quality Management
• Structure Inspection
• Final Estimates
