Q: Can I enroll in both programs at the same time?
A: Yes, you can take classes from either program, but you must complete the Roads Scholar Program before receiving the Road Master designation.

Q: I don't really care if I ever complete either program; I just want to take a few of the courses. Is this possible?
A: Certainly, that's what we are here for–to serve your needs. These programs are designed to help you set goals and measure your achievements. Our programs are simply a resource for your agency. Some governmental agencies pick and choose from our course offerings to create their own staff training programs.

Q: Then, why would I need to enroll in either program?
A: If you are enrolled with us, you will be on a special mail list to receive updates on program changes and new developments. We will keep up with the courses you have taken and issue periodic progress reports to you and your supervisor. If you are enrolled, you also will receive periodic reminders of class schedules. If you are not enrolled, we will not be able to alert you to a class you need and will not be able to automatically sign you up for the presentation of certificates at the awards luncheon in  your area. If your own agency has a method of tracking your participation, then there may be no advantage to you officially enrolling.

Q: What if I have a special need – do these programs replace the Center's current on-demand offerings and other specialized training?
A: Call us anytime you have a special training need! We will continue to conduct training that is of special interest and will do our best to present courses in your location upon request. Certificates of attendance for every course will be presented, and we will continue to maintain our database so that transcripts can be issued upon request.

Q: Who pays for this?
A: You pay a registration fee for each course at a cost of $50 for Roads Scholar courses (city and county employees), $70 for Road Master courses (city and county employees), and $80 for all other participants in either training program. We are able to offer training at about half the usual cost because we receive funding from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and from the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) of the Federal Highway Administration. This partnership has made possible the Kentucky Transportation Center's Technology Transfer Program since 1984.
