This event will help applicants to complete the steps for applying for the program. A representative from the college’s One-Stop will assist applicants in registering for class, completing CDL Clearing House, Financial Aid application, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) application, and DOT physical information. CDL applicants will also have their application fee waived on this day on the Coffee Campus when they apply.

The event will be held on the Coffee Campus from 8:00 am-noon or 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm at the college’s One-Stop Center. One-Stop staff will be available during those hours to assist. The CDL program has no wait list, nor requires a GED or High School diploma. Applicants must be 18 years of age and the program takes 7 ½ weeks to complete.
