Get your CDL theory and Behind-the-Wheel Training in one place! First, complete your FMCSA-approved CDL Class A theory course anytime, anywhere with CDLOnline. This ELDT-certified program includes 13 lessons, quizzes, permit test practice, and automatic FMCSA record updates.

  • Students will have access for 180-day access to CDLOnline to complete the 40-hour theory portion of the course.
  • Once the CDLOnline course is complete, you will take the CDL permit test at your local DMV.
  • Once you have passed the CDL permit test, you will be put in contact with CES to complete the admission process and required medical & drug testing.
  • Complete the Behind-the-Wheel Training (120-hours) with CES.
