OFC CCP & LPA Certification Training (Part II)

LPA Certification Training

The following are required to attend LPA Certification training:

• Sponsor
• Consultant’s Person in Responsible Charge
• Contract Administrator (CA)/Resident Engineer (RE). Note: If this person delegates any Labor Compliance duties to other individuals, those individuals must also obtain certification.

To ensure you are most current on the requirements when a job begins, we recommend Sponsors and Consultants not attend the LPA Certification Part II training any earlier than 6 months prior to the project advertising, whenever possible.

LPA Certification Part II training is valid for period of two (2) years from the date of training. Certificate of Attendance will be issued upon training completion. The Sponsor is required to provide copies of Certificates of Attendance to the NHDOT Bureau of Community Planning and Assistance before a project can advertise for construction.

A record of the LPA Certification Part II Training (by individual) is posted at the OFC website.

Certifications shall be suspended for any Sponsor or Consultant who has shown a lack of understanding or compliance with the OFC requirements.
