Steps
Review MnDOT's Traffic Control Supervisor page (dot.state.mn.us/const/wzs/traffic-supervisor.html)
Confirm the certification is fulfilled by a two-day in-person course culminating in a TCS exam, satisfying the language in MnDOT's Traffic Control Supervisor Special Provision 2563
Note MnDOT's stated recommendation of a minimum two years of traffic control experience before attending, and confirm whether that is a hard prerequisite or a recommendation for the specific course offering
Confirm certification validity is 5 years, with the expiration date printed on the certification card
For renewal, check MnDOT's Traffic Control Supervisor Recertification page for the available e-learning recertification courses, and confirm the prior certification hasn't lapsed beyond the 5-year window, which would require the full two-day course again
Known gotchas
Recertification eligibility depends on the prior certification still being within its 5-year window — a lapsed certification is not eligible for the shorter e-learning path and requires the full course again
'Special Provision 2563' is contract-specific language MnDOT uses to invoke this certification requirement — confirm the specific contract actually cites 2563 rather than assuming it applies to all MnDOT work
The two-years-experience note is presented as a recommendation in MnDOT's own material, not stated as a hard admission requirement — don't reject a candidate solely on this basis without confirming with MnDOT
