Class A CDL Testing: Pre-Trip Only

Kirkwood Community College offers DOT certified third party testing for individuals seeking to obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL A).  There are three required test that must be taken in the following order: Pre-Trip, Skills Test and Road Test.  Once registered, a Kirkwood staff member will contact you, via phone, to set up testing times.  Due to DMV requirements, testing will be at least 72 hours AFTER registration.

This is the first test of three required tests that you will need to pass prior to obtaining your CDL. You must have successfully passed the Pre-Trip test prior to taking the Skills test, and successful pass the Skills Test before taking the Road Test.  If you fail, you will need to reregister and retake it before moving to the next test type. There is a 24 hour waiting period between.  Upon successfully passing all three required tests, you may obtain your CDL at any driver's license issuance location.
