How CDL Training Works in Colorado
Getting a commercial driver's license in Colorado follows the same federal path as the rest of the country. Start by passing the written knowledge tests at your local Colorado DMV to receive a commercial learner's permit (CLP). With your permit in hand, enroll with one of the 66 FMCSA-registered providers listed below to complete Entry-Level Driver Training — classroom theory plus behind-the-wheel range and road hours. Your provider certifies your completion to FMCSA, and then you schedule and pass the Colorado CDL skills test to earn your license.
