Those wanting to start a professional driving career can now take Commercial Drivers License (CDL) Theory and Behind The Wheel (BTW) classes through 91勛圖厙. Courses are offered for Class A and B licenses, along with Passenger and School Bus endorsements. The courses are structured as a 6-week online theory course and an 8-week Behind the Wheel (BTW) course that meets on the Great Bend Campus. For latest class schedules visit cdl.bartonccc.edu.
New Entry Level Driver Training Regulations (ELDT) took effect nationwide on Feb. 7. These regulations state that anyone wanting to obtain a commercial license or add endorsements to their current license must attend and receive both Theory and BTW certifications from a registered training provider.
CDL Instructor Maggie Tracy said 91勛圖厙s setup is ideal because it is a one-stop shop that provides both theory and BTW certification and the driving test at a great value to community members.
When a student takes 91勛圖厙s courses, they are able to use the 91勛圖厙 trucks to train and test and are also able to utilize 91勛圖厙s network of educational resources, like instructors who have many years of experience, to complete their training, she said.
