CDL Class A Training Beginning in

REGISTER NOW!
Jefferson
Community College (JCC) in partnership with the National Tractor Trailer
School, Syracuse, is once again offering a 5-week CDL Class A Accelerated
Training Program for individuals 21 years of age and older who are
interested in preparing for a rewarding career in transportation. Training
will be held on JCC’s campus from May 22 through June 27, 2023, and at the
Lewis County JCC Education Center from July 10 through August 11, 2023.
Training runs Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Upon
successful completion, students will be eligible to take the Department of
Transportation (DOT) CDL Class A license exam. Space is limited. Early
registration is recommended.
According to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for tractor-trailer truck
drivers is expected to grow more than 6% through the year 2030 due to
recovery from the COVID-19 recession and the need for truck drivers as
households and businesses increase their spending online. Now is a great
time to upskill and join the transportation industry by becoming a truck
driver.
Students will
complete 225 hours of CDL A training with 118 hours of classroom
instruction and 107 hours of behind-the-wheel driving practice. DOT safety,
rules and regulations, logbook training, backing maneuvers and road rides
throughout the Watertown area are included. CDL A training prepares
students to be qualified to drive an automatic or manual tractor trailer
without any restrictions (i.e. tractor trailer, dump truck, straight truck,
or snowplow to name a few).
Tuition is
$7,870. Qualified applicants may be eligible for tuition funding. Prior to
the start of training, students must take a DOT physical and drug test at
their expense.
To register and
for more information, contact Kimberly Sather, Program Development
Director, National Tractor Trailer School, at (315) 410-2207 or email ksather@ntts.edu or visit www.sunyjefferson.edu/workshops.
