The CDL training course is a Class A Truck Driver program that provides students with a balance between classroom learning and on-the-road training.

The training course is offered on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Students enrolling will need to have a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) before being accepted.

“We are excited about our new CDL program and partnering with Ancora Education, which is a reputable training institution with its imprint across nine states,” said BRCC Chancellor Dr. Willie E. Smith. “The transportation industry is continuing to grow, and there’s an urgent need to fill positions with well-trained individuals throughout the state and nation.”

The Class A Truck Driving curriculum provides students with training to operate tractor-trailers and assume driver safety and on the road responsibilities. Learning emphasis is structured around vehicle inspections, defensive driving, range maneuvering, trip planning, cargo handlings, and regulations.
