New River Community and Technical College is offering CDL Class A, Class B, and Class A CDL Refresher workforce education courses at the college’s Advanced Technology Center in Ghent.
Class A CDL classes will start on September 30. This six-week course provides 180 contact hours of training to prepare students for the driving test, and students are able to test on-site in the college’s truck on the last day of class.
Class B CDL class is scheduled to begin on November 11. The four-day course gives students an opportunity to complete training and seat time to obtain the Class B CDL license with the school bus and passenger endorsement.
The Class A CDL Refresher class will begin on September 16. This four-day course is designed to assist those who have their CDL license or have had a recent lapse in licensure who need a refresher.
All CDL courses are held Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with testing available on-site on the last day of class.
CDL students must have a valid-unrestricted driver’s license for a minimum of two years and obtain a Class A or B CDL learner’s permit at least two weeks prior to the start of class.
