The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has established a Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) program for aggregates for the purpose of properly assigning the responsibility of manufacturing and overall improving the consistency of aggregates. The QC/QA program for aggregates requires that all aggregates supplied for INDOT use be supplied by a Certified Aggregate Producer. The Certified Aggregate Producer Program (CAPP) is a program whereby a qualified mineral aggregate Producer requesting to supply material to INDOT assumes all of the Plant site controls, and INDOT monitors the Producers production, sampling, and testing procedures. The CAPP requires that a Certified Aggregate Technician supervise all sampling and testing for process control.
The principal objective of the Certified Aggregate Technician Program is to provide the necessary training to Producer personnel so that they may administer the Quality Control requirements of CAPP. Knowledge of aggregate production, materials, sampling, testing, statistics, and documentation are provided.

CAPP 101 – Introduction to CAPP Workshop
This one-day Workshop is designed to introduce CAPP students to the terms, techniques, and types of aggregate testing that will be taught in more detail at the CAPP course. The Workshop will be held at an existing CAPP Producer site and the training will include a tour of the quarry, sampling, sample reduction, and testing procedures, and a general discussion of the aggregate quality requirements of INDOT (see attached agenda). The Instructors will be the Producer employees and INDOT Central Office and District personnel, of which several will also provide the training at the CAPP course. The Workshop is not mandatory for certification; however, for those individuals relatively new to the Aggregate Industry, the instruction will greatly assist in becoming a Certified Aggregate Technician.
There is no fee for the Workshop and lunch will be provided at the Producer site. Dress should be appropriate for a laboratory testing facility setting and quarry tour, and steel-toe shoes are required. Other safety apparel needed for the Workshop will be provided. The Workshop is scheduled for November 8, 2019 and will be held at Martin Marietta, 96th St, Indianapolis.
Only those registered to attend the 2019 CAPP School may register to attend the CAPP 101 Workshop. Class size for the CAPP 101 Workshop is limited to 15 participants.
