    Step 4: Please be patient!

    There are limited seats available in the courses. Please do not contact to find out where you are on the waitlist, you will be notified when a space is available for you. Please check your email (including your junk/spam email box) for communication from us.

    Once you have been contacted, please respond, and register for courses promptly.

    Step 5: Schedule an appointment with a medical provider

    Schedule an appointment with a medical provider that preforms DOT Medical Examiners Certificate, this will be an additional cost at your expense (not covered under YC tuition rates). Once you have this, you can proceed with obtaining your CDL Permit. (As it is required before getting the permit)

    Step 6: Study for the CDL permit

    Go to https://azmvdnow.gov/home, set up an account and download the CDL Handbook to study for the CDL Permit. Pay close attention to sections 1,2,3,5 & 6 in the CDL Handbook. They have questions for each section that you can answer. Once you’re feeling confident, you can go to the MVD office and take the test for your CDL Permit.

    When you get your CDL Permit, please send a copy to Doug.Harsh@yc.edu. He will submit for credit for prior learning and this will eliminate you having to take the CDT 250 class as well as put you in position to get into the CDT 255 class earlier because you already have your permit.
