Montana Technological University has opened up registration for its next six-week CDL programs on its Highlands Campus. The sessions will run from January 31 – March 14 and April 18-May 27. The six-week programs teach students basic truck driving skills introducing them to the field of heavy-duty trucking. The program will emphasize safety equipment knowledge and State of Montana and Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) rules and regulations. Using a comprehensive curriculum developed by the Professional Truck Driving Institute, students will receive classroom and driving instruction that meets DOT and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Entry-Level Driving Training regulation standards that address skills, theory/knowledge, tasks, and the duties required of entry-level commercial vehicle drivers. The program meets the needs of students with no prior knowledge or experience in truck driving interested in getting a Class-A CDL License.
The program has been designed and follows the new regulations and is listed in the FMCSA training provider registry that will be live in February 2022.
The registration/payment and testing deadline for the January class is January 24, 2022. The registration/payment and testing deadline for the April class is April 11, 2022.
Highlands College will set up pre-screening requirements at the time of registration. Students must submit results to Highlands College before the final registration deadline.
