CDL

A high school diploma or GED is not required; however, students must:

• be able to read, write and speak English
• be at least 18 years old for intrastate license or 21 years old for interstate license
• meet Department of Transportation (DOT) physical requirements
• pass a DOT drug test
• have a valid driver's license at the time of registration

It is critical that you make every effort to earn your CDL permit prior to the first day of call.

• schedule and complete your Department of Transportation (DOT) physical
• upload a copy of your medical certification to an online account that you create
• schedule and take your CDL permit exam

Please note: Students with a driver's license from outside of Kentucky should plan to enroll at least 30 days before their class begins to allow additional time for processing.

The $4,200 program cost covers instruction. Payment must be made to SKYCTC in the amount of $4,200; the student will be directly responsible for paying the CDL permit and license fees which will total approximately $150. Instructions for taking care of the permit and license fee process will be provided during the course.

Payment or payment arrangements must be made before class begins. Payment may be by debit or credit card or cashier's check payable to SKYCTC.

Financial assistance may be available through Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, or the Kentucky Farm Workers Program. Contact your local counselor for details (contact information for these programs is available through SKYCTC).

Full refunds will be granted if the class is cancelled by SKYCTC or the student officially withdraws before the first day of class. No refunds will be granted if requested on or after the first day of class or if the student is dismissed for violating the class code of conduct. Non-attendance does not relieve the student of financial obligation or entitle the student to a refund.
