When you’re considering earning your CDL and getting on the road to a new career, one of your biggest questions besides “How much is it going to cost,” is likely “How long will it take?”
We get it. You’re excited about a new career path and ready to get started as soon as possible.
Well, we have good news for you! Within weeks, you can earn your CDL and even have a job lined up!
How long is CDL School?
While it can depend on a number of factors, earning your CDL will typically take about 4 weeks depending on the program you choose and the availability. Some CDL schools, like CDL of AL, also offer a fast-track two-week course for students who already meet certain requirements, but these often have limited availability with spots going fast.
For most, including those who don’t meet the required prerequisites, the traditional four-week course is the way to go. Even then, you can still earn your CDL within weeks.
CDL of AL’s 2 Week Skills-Only Course
The 2-week course is a limited time course that is offered during certain times of the year to individuals who have already completed the required prerequisites.

Once you finish the course, you will be eligible to take the skills test and earn your CDL, which is included in the cost.
