Guaranteed CDL Training Courses
Driving Academy’s guaranteed training courses are our most comprehensive offerings, designed for individuals who are committed to building a successful CDL career. These courses typically include over 100 hours of both classroom and hands-on training. The program covers everything students need to succeed, from classroom instruction to prepare for written tests and obtain their CDL permits, to yard and road training for mastering skills required to pass the CDL road test . What sets this course apart is our confidence in its effectiveness. Students enrolled in this program receive unlimited road test attempts and vehicle rentals. This means they can retake the written and road exams as many times as needed. As long as students attend and actively participate in all scheduled training and re-training sessions, we are committed to supporting them until they earn their CDL.

CDL Full Training Courses
Driving Academy’s comprehensive Full CDL Training Courses are designed to take students from beginners to skilled drivers. These courses begin with virtual classroom instruction to prepare students for the written exams and help them obtain a valid CDL permit. Following this, students receive hands-on yard training to prepare for the CDL road test. The full courses also include a limited number of truck rentals for the CDL road test and access to our lifetime job placement program. However, unlike the guaranteed training courses, these do not offer unlimited road test attempts.
-
CDL Half Training Courses
Driving Academy’s half courses are tailored for students who already hold a valid CDL permit. Since classroom training is unnecessary in this case, students can immediately begin yard training. In the Driving Academy yard, we focus on preparing students to pass the challenging two-and-a-half-hour CDL road test.
