Class A CDL Training Programs in Ohio

Ohio Business College Semi Driver Training offers instruction to students seeking to obtain a Class A Commercial Drivers License. Our Class A CDL driver training program consists of 170 hours, with only five days of classroom instruction to give you more time behind the wheel.

Our Class A CDL training program is designed to prepare students for entry into the commercial driver field as qualified entry level second-seat (trainee) tractor-trailer drivers. Working in the classroom, on a protected driving range, and on the road with an instructor, students will build the skills necessary to operate as successful commercial tractor-trailer drivers through our CDL classes. Graduates will qualify for immediate employment upon completing their Class A CDL training. They can explore entry level positions as second-seat (trainee) tractor trailer drivers for local or interstate (over the road) companies. Graduates from our Ohio CDL training program will need additional driving experience under the guidance and supervision of an experienced, professional driver before they will be able to drive alone safely over the road.
