Quick Answer
CDL training at Central Florida CDL School typically runs $2,500 to $5,700. Where you land in that range depends on which program you need — Class A, Class B, recertification, or refresher — and your individual financial situation, including any funding you qualify for. Call for a specific quote once we know your program.
What Affects Your Price
Two things move you within the $2,500–$5,700 range: which program you need, and your individual financial situation.
Class A, Class B, recertification, and refresher training all require different amounts of instruction, so each is priced differently within the range.
WIOA workforce funding, VA education benefits, and grants can reduce your actual out-of-pocket cost. See our Funding & Eligibility page for the full picture.
Either way works — we offer flexible payment plans with no long-term contracts, so spreading tuition out doesn't cost you extra.
Available at an additional cost for students who want extra pre-test prep or practice on a specific skill — never required, always optional.
How It Works
Four quick steps to a real number instead of a range.
Class A, Class B, recertification, or refresher — each is priced differently, so this is the first thing that narrows the range.
WIOA, VA benefits, and grants can lower your actual cost. We'll help you check, or point you to CareerSource Hillsborough Pinellas.
Either way works, with no long-term contracts. Spread it out if that fits your budget better.
Once we know your program and situation, you get a real number — not a range.
Beyond WIOA & VA
Funding and financing aren't mutually exclusive — most students end up combining a couple of these.
Spread tuition out with no long-term contracts and no penalty for paying on your own schedule.
Ask us about our in-house payment plan option with 0% interest — spread tuition out without paying extra for the privilege.
Some students finance training through their own bank, credit union, or lender — worth comparing against other options.
Some students use funds from a 401(k) or other retirement account to pay for training. We aren't financial advisors — check with your plan administrator or a financial professional before deciding if this is right for you.
Beyond WIOA, Florida and local agencies periodically fund workforce training grants for qualifying residents.
If you already have a job lined up or an employer sponsoring your training, ask us about direct billing.
