Overview

Driving Academy markets this location as its Tallahassee, Florida school, but the physical campus is located in Quincy, approximately west of Tallahassee. Students receive classroom and practical CDL preparation at a facility with an attached one-acre training yard.

The school also maintains a separate one-acre testing site, allowing students to complete CDL road testing at the facility. Commercial-driving simulators supplement classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction.

Programs Offered

Training is designed for students preparing to obtain a commercial driver’s license and includes permit and road-test preparation.

Students who already hold a commercial learner’s permit do not necessarily need to complete the full course. Driving Academy offers Half Courses focused on preparing permit holders for the CDL road test.

Training Experience

Hands-on preparation can include:

• Vehicle inspection
• Basic vehicle-control skills
• Parking maneuvers
• Road-driving techniques
• Simulator practice
• CDL road-test preparation

Students can train on both automatic and manual-transmission trucks. Taking the CDL skills test in an automatic vehicle may result in an automatic-transmission restriction.

Tuition & Financial Assistance

The current Quincy/Tallahassee campus information does not publish one fixed tuition amount.

Students should request the complete tuition and fee schedule for their chosen training package, including any testing or vehicle-use costs, before enrollment.

Career Opportunities

Students who successfully obtain the appropriate CDL may pursue careers in long-haul trucking, regional transportation, local delivery and other commercial-driving occupations. Available jobs depend on CDL class, endorsements and employer requirements.

Enrollment Tips

Applicants must generally be at least 18 years old, have a valid driver’s license and meet DOT medical requirements. Drivers planning to operate commercially across state lines generally need to be at least 21.

Bottom Line

Driving Academy’s Tallahassee-area campus is physically located in Quincy and provides CDL preparation through classroom instruction, simulators, a one-acre training yard and a separate testing site. The availability of training and testing facilities at the same location can simplify the licensing process for students in the Tallahassee and Quincy region.
