Commercial Driver Training School Certification

This form is to be used only by approved CDL training schools to certify that a student has successfully completed a commercial driver training course. Students won’t need certification to take CDL knowledge or skills tests, but must present an original certificate when they are issued their CDLs.

Course approval required

Before a public college or private CDL career training school can certify students, we must approve the CDL training course outline and curriculum, and issue the school a unique ID number. If your school hasn’t submitted a course outline and curriculum to us yet, call the CDL Program at (360) 902-3619 for further instructions.

  2. Print the completed form on white paper, sign it, and give it to the student. The student will need the original certificate to present to a driver licensing office when he or she is issued a CDL. We cannot accept photocopies, faxes, or emails of this certificate.
