Key Rules and Policies for Students in our CDL School

  1. The school will make a prompt refund, if any refund is due, within thirty (30) days of cancellation. A full refund will be made promptly if the student is not accepted by the school.
  2. If a student is unable to pass a D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) physical examination and is ineligible to drive under the provisions set forth by the U. S. Department of Transportation, all tuition paid by the student will be refunded. The student must send to the school a copy of proof of physical failure from a licensed Medical Examiner. This physical failure notice must be received by the School within thirty (30) days from the date of enrollment or else the school will consider the physical has been passed and no refunds will be made. The student authorizes National Training Inc.  to use his or her name and/or picture in any future promotional material the School may produce. The promotional materials are in the form of print, video, broadcast and electronic format.
  3. If the school is unable to continue CDL  training at the  School for reasons beyond its control such as, but not limited to, hurricanes, floods, extreme weather conditions, fire, flood, etc., then the school reserves the right to suspend training at the Training Site(s) affected for a period not to exceed 120 days. If any student is affected by this clause, the student may return to the  School and take the complete  Training at no additional tuition charge.
  4. The vast majority of National students enrolled in this CDL  training should successfully graduate after completing the  Training. However, the school may find it necessary to give additional  Training time to the student. Therefore, every student agrees to take additional CDL training, up to 10 additional hours, if the school finds it necessary. There will be no additional tuition for this training, and the student will be assigned to a future CDL Training makeup class. The date will be selected by the school. The 10 hour additional training must be completed no later than sixty (60) days from the last attended class date.
  5. The School’s resources are always available to past graduates for “Refresher” sessions of training. These services are scheduled through the  Training Director and will be scheduled at the discretion and availability by the Director. Refresher training will only be provided to graduates of the actual program they graduated. The School will provide refresher training on a “by the day” basis. The School’s charges to the graduate will be on an actual cost basis. Refresher training costs do fluctuate based on a number of economic factors. Contact the  Training Director, with your specific needs, for a current quote. Active military, that trained and graduated during their military service, may require refresher training upon military separation. If needed, military graduates will be afforded ample refresher training, at no additional charge, provided refresher training is completed no later than 60 days after their military separation date.
  6. Rules, regulations and policies of the school regarding attendance and conduct during  Training shall be given to the student upon arrival for CDL Training. Failure to abide with the foregoing rules, regulations and policies may mean dismissal and resultant loss of training.
