The TRESAL Training Center certifies professional operators for the safe transport of hazardous materials and waste, with official SICT accreditation and ISO 9001:2015 certification.
TRESAL Training Center
Training center of TRESAL, licensed by the SICT to deliver official Federal License Category E courses in the Hazardous Materials and Waste modality.
SICT recognition since September 2001
Chemical transport starts with training
TRESAL specializes in the reliable, specialized transport of chemical products classified as hazardous. The foundation of that service is the continuous training of the personnel who operate it.
In 2000, the then Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes established as a requirement for the renewal and revalidation of federal licenses the accreditation of a course at a licensed center. TRESAL initiated the process to become a licensed center — not only to meet legal requirements, but to ensure its personnel received high-quality training reflected in operational processes.
In September 2001, it obtained official recognition as an External Training Center in the Hazardous Materials and Waste modality, under registration number SCT.CC/000096.
The recognition was issued by the Subsecretaría de Transporte pursuant to Article 57 of the Ley de Caminos, Puentes y Autotransporte Federal, Articles 129 and 131 of the Reglamento para el Transporte Terrestre de Materiales y Residuos Peligrosos, and the Guidelines published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on July 6, 1999.
Historical document issued in 2001. The current legal name is Transportes Especializados del Altiplano, S. de R. L. de C. V. Registration SCT.CC/000096 remains active under the same entity.
“As a transport company, we are not limited to theory: we have extensive hands-on experience on the road, in the yard, and at the washing facility.”
