*Testing Exemption: In the state of Indiana, if you have previous held a CDL, you may qualify for a testing exemption, where you would be able to take the state CDL exam without having to go through a CDL Training Program. To learn if you qualify for a CDL exemption, you must obtain your CLP, and submit it to a state CDL examination site. The state CDL examination site will then check the driver's eligibility to test. If confirmed to be eligible, the state CDL examination site will then allow the driver to book their state CDL exam. If the driver is not eligible for a testing exemption, this means that the driver must go through an approved CDL Training Program, like our Class A CDL Training.
Eligible for an exemption test but unsure if you've got things down? Need to see if you're eligible to take a refresher course? We can help! We will allow you to complete a full test, even if you demonstrate failures, so you know exactly what you would need to work on prior to testing. A mock test must be completed to see if you qualify for a refresher course with us.
