Provider description:

Driving Academy operates as part of a dual business model—our parent company, Drive Alert, has been in the driver education space offering Class D training since 2008, and in 2024 we expanded by merging our CDL program under the Driving Academy brand. We offer comprehensive Class A and Class B CDL training that integrates classroom instruction, hands-on yard and road driving, state-of-the-art fully interactive simulator training, and iPad-based pre-trip inspection technology. Students learn CDL Knowledge test content, vehicle safety and inspection procedures, backing and vehicle control skills, and gain real on-road driving experience. The Class A program (160 hours) prepares students to operate tractor-trailer combination vehicles and successfully complete the Knowledge Test, Pre-Trip Inspection, Basic Skills, and Road Test. The Class B program (120 hours) trains students to operate large single commercial vehicles such as box trucks, dump trucks, and buses, with optional School Bus endorsement training. Entrance requirements for both programs include being at least 18 years old, holding a valid driver’s license for at least one year, and possessing a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate.
