Types of Training

NHI trainings are tailored for transportation professionals at every stage of their careers. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned expert, courses are designed to grow your skills and knowledge—advancing infrastructure, safety, and innovation nationwide.

In addition to more than one hundred Instructor-Led Trainings (ILTs) taught by subject matter experts and industry leaders, NHI also offers hundreds of Web-Based Trainings (WBTs) accessible anytime through Blackboard. These flexible, self-paced modules are a convenient way to sharpen your skills and stay current on transportation topics—on your own schedule. FHWA employees are not required to pay for NHI trainings. Non-FHWA employees must be registered as public seat participants, which include non-FHWA employees in both the public and private sectors.
