Quick Ticket Entry Training

Thank you for your interest in training for Quick Ticket Entry access. There are a few things to keep in mind before proceeding:

  • Quick Ticket Entry training is for Professional Excavators who submit many Locate Requests each week, with simple and clear marking instructions for each request.
  • This is for Professional Excavators who have experience in providing the required detailed descriptions for the location instructions in Utah on their requests.
  • The training does NOT teach you how to word the locate descriptions for marking.
  • This training will provide instructions on use of the Quick Ticket Entry application, along with the additional options that are available to Quick Ticket users.
