2 days, 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM

This training presents an overview of the AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide" with an emphasis on Kentucky Transportation Cabinet policies and practices. The AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide" is the textbook for this course and a copy will be given to each student as a part of the training enrollment fee.

17 - 20 Nov 2025

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course teaches the basics of 2D MicroStation drafting using example highway projects. Learn how to draw civil engineering details using Placement, Modify, Manipulation and Grouping tools with AccuDraw. Also work with Cells and References. The course teaches the workflow for creating sheets including Drawing Models and Sheet Models. Learn how to annotate in the Drawing Model and work with the Sheet Models in the Sheet Index, including how to plot the sheets.

2 - 4 Dec 2025

3 days, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

This training course presents lectures, software demonstrations and application examples on the Highway Capacity Manual 7th Edition (HCM7) procedures. Step-by-step instruction of the HCM methodologies will be provided for each analytical chapter. The Highway Capacity Software (HCS2022) implements and automates the HCM7 procedures. Each lecture will be followed by example problems and a software demonstrations. A comprehensive workbook is provided to include all slides.

Wed 17 Dec 2025

8:30 AM - 4:00 PM (7 hours 30 minutes)

The Highway Plan Reading class is a beginning level class that teaches students how to read and interpret a set of highway plans. This training places an emphasis on the highway plans used by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

20 - 23 Jan 2026

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

MicroStation is built into OpenRoads and MicroStation CONNECT I (or a basic working knowledge) is a prerequisite to this course. This course guides you through an OpenRoads Designer (ORD) roadway workflow using terrain models, civil geometry, dynamic profiles, creating templates, corridor modeling, dynamic sections, volumes, plottable sections, plan and profile creation as well as proposed terrain model creation. The drafting portion of the software is covered in MicroStation CONNECT I.

17 - 18 Feb 2026

2 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This 2-day course exposes students to the entire workflow for using OpenRoads Designer (ORD) Survey. Students import data from a number of sources, reduce it to coordinates, display the results and correct coding errors. The data is then used to generate reports for uploading, terrains for design and graphics for planimetrics. This course is recommended for surveyors and others who will use ORD Survey for the office-side of preparing survey data to pass on to designers.

20 - 23 Apr 2026

4 days, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This course is designed for civil engineers and designers who currently use OpenRoads Designer (ORD) for design and evaluation of highway or other corridor projects. It goes above and beyond the basic ORD course to enhance the students’ productivity and troubleshooting skills with the software in the topics listed below, with a primary focus on corridors and the creation of 3D models.
