CDL Open House April 5 at DSLCC   Clifton Forge, VA (March 27, 2016) - An open house for anyone interested in obtaining a Class A Virginia Commercial Driver’s License will be held on Wednesday, April 5, from 6 to 7:30 pm in Room 513, McCarthy Hall, on the Dabney S. Lancaster Community College campus. This session is free and open to the public. DSLCC will offer a 40-hour CDL course in April through the non-credit program. The pre-trip inspection and general knowledge classroom sessions will take place on two Saturdays, April 22 and 29, from 8 am to 4 pm. After completing the pre-trip and classroom portions of the course and obtaining a learner’s permit, students will then have a total of 21 hours of intensive one-on-one behind-the-wheel training. Once training has been completed, an instructor will accompany the student in a DSLCC tractor trailer to the DMV test site for the driving portion of the test. The full tuition is $2,385; however, students who are Virginia residents may pay only $795 if they qualify under the New Economy Workforce Credential Grant (WCG) program (terms and conditions will apply). There are also other options for drivers who already hold a learner’s permit or need additional behind-the-wheel training. For more information, contact Doug Jones at (540) 863-2870 or email djones@dslcc.edu.
