Frequently Asked Questions

Course tuition is $4900. There are a number of financial assistance options available - we offer scholarships, grants, and have community workforce partners who cover the cost of tuition. You can find details about all of these options in the CDL Student Guide.

If you are an employer, we do offer an employer discount if you send us multiple students. Please see our CDL Employer Guide for more information.

All of this information is outlined in detail in our CDL Student Guide, but here's the short version! To apply to the program, you need to:

  • Have a source of funding. If you are seeking a grant or scholarship, you must have everything approved through the grant or scholarship program you're using and submit a funding letter with your application.
  • Have your DOT Medical Exam Card
  • Get your Class A Driver's Permit
  • Complete a drug screen or provide a letter from your employer that states you are in compliance with their drug and alcohol policy
  • Provide a copy of your 10-year driving record from the DMV
  • Complete an application

We can't do anything with an incomplete application, including save you a spot in the class. It's best to gather all of your materials first, then submit everything at once.

Our program is 5 weeks long and meets Monday-Friday from 8 AM-5 PM. This is a short time to learn a lot of information, so while we don't kick you out of class for missing a day, we strongly advise against it.

Even when you skip a row, you want to go off by the number indicated in the heading column when you are setting aYes, it does! This program covers the theory, skills and road components required for Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT), and after you successfully complete the program, you will be entered in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's database as having completed ELDT. specific panel to open on load.

We test you right here on campus! Once you pass your exam, we provide you all the paperwork you need to take to the DMV to receive your license with no additional testing.

This doesn't happen very often - we won't schedule you for a test you're not ready for. But, if it does happen, as long as you're still within your class time frame, we'll get you a re-test.

We find that for motivated students who use their time wisely, 5 weeks is enough time to pass the class, even if re-tests or extra instruction are needed. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, if you don't learn what you need to within the 5 week time frame, we'd ask you to pay for and enroll in another class.

Our program meets the federal requirements for Entry Level Driver Training, which are the same anywhere in the country. However, the class is tailored specifically to the Nevada DMV CDL exam, and we can only conduct exams for students with a Nevada CDL permit. If you have your own truck (or your company does), and you would like to take the class and schedule your own exam at the California DMV, you are welcome to enroll, but we can't guarantee that the exam we prepare you for here will be the same in California.

Unfortunately, no. Our curriculum integrates theory, skills and road seamlessly, so there is no one single part of the class you could skip that covers theory exclusively.

What you may be looking for is what's called a "non-commercial" Class A or B, which isn't the purpose of our program. We recommend taking a look at the self-certification section of the to see whether you need a commercial or non-commercial license. If you need a non-commercial license, you can reach out to the DMV to ask about the requirements to obtain one.

You are welcome to take our class as long as you are 18 years old or older. Once you get your license, you can join an employer who is participating in the federal driver apprenticeship program if you'd like to drive interstate, or you can drive exclusively in the state of Nevada until you turn 21. We have lots of employers who are excited to hire our graduates in both circumstances!

Yes! We offer Class B certification frequently in Winnemucca, and occasionally in Fallon. We offer the HazMat training .
