Penn State Behrend’s Office of Community and Workforce Programs is now offering a comprehensive Class A commercial driver’s license (CDL) training program.

The 77-hour course will cover classroom education, hands-on vehicle inspection training and behind-the-wheel skills testing.

Trucking companies Barnhart Transportation LLC and Team Harding were consulted in the development of the course that will be completed in 48 hours of classroom learning, followed by a written test administered at a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Driver License Center. Students will then undergo vehicle inspection training and 15 hours of behind-the-wheel road work.

The CDL courses are scheduled to begin on June 5th and July 17th, and the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act may provide financial assistance for those who qualify.

Contact the Behrend Office of Community and Workforce Programs at 814-898-6103 or [email protected] to register or to learn about other training programs offered by Penn State Behrend.
