Hello Patty.
The BAT courses are specific to the instrument that you use or plan to use. To become a fully certified breath alcohol technician you need a course that covers the regulations (49CFR part 40), and instrument proficiency (on the instrument you use to conduct tests), and the 7 mock alcohol tests. This course where you posted your comments, covers all three of those things. You can call us and ask for a training specialist and we will help you.
