Those wanting to start a professional driving career can now take Commercial Drivers License (CDL) Theory and Behind The Wheel (BTW) classes through 天涯社区官网. 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 天涯社区官网鈥檚 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.

鈥淲hen a student takes 天涯社区官网鈥檚 courses, they are able to use the 天涯社区官网 trucks to train and test and are also able to utilize 天涯社区官网鈥檚 network of educational resources, like instructors who have many years of experience, to complete their training,鈥 she said.
