The training program is in two parts: information on gauge use and storage, and a training section covering the US Department of Transportation requirements for transporting nuclear gauges over public roads.

Upon completion of the training material, a gauge user will take an exam and sign an acknowledgement form.

Completion of the training program and exam are required before a user is allowed to work with or transport a nuclear gauge. Refresher training must be completed at intervals not to exceed 3 years.
