About the Project

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored the development of National Highway Institute (NHI) Course 134063, Maintenance Leadership Academy to assist state, district, and county highway maintenance departments in training new pavement maintenance supervisors. The course consists of a 5-week, blended learning training program that includes instructor-led classroom training, independent study, and web-based training modules. The course prepares personnel for a future in the highway maintenance field by developing practical decision-making skills in six crucial areas, including maintenance administration, pavement and bridge preservation, roadside maintenance and drainage, weather-related operations, traffic services, safety and work zones, and environmental protection. 

APTech worked with the NHI to develop this course in 2010 and has been presenting the course since its creation. In 2014, and again in 2019, the NHI selected APTech to deliver Course 134063, Maintenance Leadership Academy due to APTech’s strong reputation as a leader in developing and delivering training materials that achieve course objectives. The APTech instructors consistently receive high ratings for the quality of instruction and have been awarded several Instructor of Excellence Awards from NHI.
