Program Overview

Professional Truck Driving Class A CDL Training Certificate

The goal of this program is to prepare students for employment as professional commercial truck drivers through the process of obtaining their Commercial Class A Drivers License. This occurs when students complete the Class A pre-permit training course, obtain their Commercial Learners Permit (CLP), complete the behind-the-wheel training course, pass the DMV behind-the-wheel test, followed by an internship period. Success is measured by students obtaining their Class A permit, obtaining their Class A License, then finally by completing an internship.

To complete the program, students will successfully complete three courses. The courses are TRK 769 Class A CDL Permit Training, TRK 770 Class A CDL Behind-The-Wheel Training, and TRK 771 Class A CDL Internship. Through managed enrollment, students will be required to provide an approved medical examination report, hold a valid CA driver’s license, and drug test certificate. In TRK 769, students will learn the material necessary to successfully pass the DMV CLP test, which will include the option for multiple Class A endorsements. In addition, students will gain knowledge and develop additional skills necessary to become a professional truck driver. In TRK 770, students will learn proper driving practices and gain operational and driving skills through behind-the-wheel training. In TRK 771, students will participate in an internship of at least 30 behind-the-wheel hours to enhance their driving skills, which provides the driving experience necessary to gain employment.
