Overview

Driving Academy’s Linden campus provides CDL preparation for students seeking commercial trucking and passenger-driving careers in northern New Jersey. Training options include Class A, Class B, passenger and school-bus preparation.

The campus combines classroom education with simulator practice, behind-the-wheel instruction and a one-acre paved and lighted training yard. The lighted facility allows practical training to continue into evening hours.

Programs Offered

Class A CDL

Class A training prepares students for combination commercial vehicles such as tractor-trailers.

Class B CDL

Class B training prepares students for qualifying heavy single-unit vehicles such as box trucks and other commercial vehicles.

Passenger & School Bus

Passenger training prepares students for qualifying buses and other passenger-carrying commercial vehicles. Students must satisfy the applicable state and federal endorsement requirements.

Training Options

Students can choose comprehensive, Full or Half Course training.

Comprehensive training provides more than 100 hours of CDL preparation.

Full Courses combine classroom education with behind-the-wheel yard training and prepare students for both the written permit examination and CDL road test.

Half Courses are intended for students who already hold a commercial learner’s permit and focus on inspections, basic vehicle-control skills, parking maneuvers and road driving.

Tuition & Financial Assistance

The Linden campus does not publish a single fixed tuition amount on its current program information.

Payment plans are advertised beginning with $500 down. Students should request a written breakdown of tuition, testing, vehicle rental and other applicable costs before enrolling.
