# What Are DOT Mock Collections?
DOT Mock Collections are practical qualification exercises required under 49 CFR Part 40 for individuals seeking to perform DOT urine specimen collections.
While DOT Specimen Collector Training provides the educational foundation, mock collections allow students to demonstrate their ability to correctly perform specimen collections in real-world scenarios. Taught by founder AJ Marietta.
## Why Are Mock Collections Required?
