About the Program
Our six-week program allows students to accumulate 16 hours of college credit in preparation for the Commercial Driving License (CDL) examination for operating vehicles in interstate commerce. In certain circumstances the student may also attend half days for twelve weeks.

During the six-week period, students accumulate 270 hours of classroom and driving time. Emphasis is placed on federal motor carrier regulations, driver’s daily log and defensive driving. We can prepare a student for the written exam or they may take the written exam prior to attending the program.

Students spend 122 hours in the driving segment of the training. This time includes working in the driving range, backing range and road driving. In addition to the transportation classes, students will receive individually designed instruction to improve his/her reading and math skills.

At the end of the course, individuals who successfully complete the course will be presented with a Fort Scott Community College Certificate of Completion.
