The information posted on DOT's website says otherwise.  The text below is is from the training FAQ at http://hazmat.dot.gov/question.htm#training.



Training

Q. May a hazmat employer/employee train and test themselves (e.g., owner-operator)? 



A. Yes, self-training is acceptable provided that all training requirements of § 172.704 are met. 



Q. Who certifies that an instructor is qualified to train, test, and certify in accordance with § 172.704?



A. Except for certain FAA required CFR 14 training, the U.S. DOT does not review or certify training programs for pre-approval purposes. The employer must determine a trainer's qualifications based on their need.
