How the Courses Work
Our new program is designed to support aspiring truck drivers who are learning English while working toward their CDL. The 8-week course is delivered 100% online, allowing students to enroll from anywhere and participate in live instruction with a qualified ESL instructor. Morning sessions are offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00–10:00 a.m., and evening sessions are offered Monday and Thursday from 6:00–7:30 p.m., beginning April 6. Students will also receive one-on-one guidance from a mentor truck driver who can help navigate the process of becoming a certified CDL driver. In addition to live instruction, participants will have access to pre-class instructional videos, vocabulary flashcards, and worksheets to support independent study. The program also includes resume review, interview practice, and access to online conversational ESL sessions. The Spring Special price is $500 per course, with optional continued access to conversational ESL sessions for $100 for six months.
