NON-CERTIFICATE TRAINING

Hourly Training Option 1 

3 hours minimum is required.

NCTDA can sculpt hourly training to meet your needs with a focus on pre-trip inspection, backing maneuvers or on-road driving. This training is NOT last minute prep for the CDL test. Think of this training as “touch up” for your existing skills. 

This training option will only be provided if you have a valid CDL and Medical DOT card.

Our trainers are great at what they do. However, in 2 decades, none of our trainers have been able to perform miracles or magic. Believe it or not, experienced professionals cannot effectively teach how to safely operate a CMV in 3 hours. If you know an experienced trainer who can, the FMCSA would love to meet them.  

Scheduling is based on truck and trainer availability.

 

Hourly Training Option 2

Passenger and/or School Bus Endorsement Focused 

The P and S Endorsement hourly training offers one-on-one training for 5 hours. A CDL Test is administered two days later, per ELDT requirements. This course has two options. Option 1 – train and test for a Passenger CDL B license. Option 2 – train and test for a School Bus CDL B license. If you have CDL A, the P or S endorsement will be applied to your existing CDL A license.

This training requires an online ELDT completion or exemption, a valid medical DOT certificate, a valid permit with the correct endorsements, and a valid driver’s license to enroll. 

You must have a previous or current CDL A, B or C license to enroll.

Scheduling is based on truck and trainer availability.
