At this time, North Idaho College is only accepting Idaho residents into the Class A Commercial Driver’s Training program. Please call the Workforce Development team at 208-769-3264 with questions about eligibility for residents of other states.
At the start of theory and skills training, students will need to:
- Have registered and paid for the program in full (or have an approved payment plan arrangement)
- Have completed all prerequisite documentation that is required of CDL students
- Complete a DOT physical exam and drug screen at NIC’s approved provider (fees covered by the program)
- Be in possession of a valid Idaho Class A Commercial Learner’s Permit with no restrictions related to equipment (must be able to train on equipment with airbrakes) (student is responsible for fees associated with permitting – contact the local DMV for info on how to obtain your permit)
Students from Idaho aged 18-20 are welcome to participate in this CDL program; however, Idaho does not permit drivers under the age of 21 to drive in an interstate capacity at this time.
