School Has A 100% Graduation Rate
Topic 15488 | Page 2
I went to one right outside of Fort Hood on my GI Bill. There were some folks going to state vocational rehab programs. Didn't know that it was dependent on graduation rates though. They had a decent graduation rate, as was explained on the first day. Was 98% or something to that effect. The students get 3 attempts to graduate, then have to start all over from day 1 and pay again. The guy makes it really easy, so I think that for some folks, a CDL isn't a great idea. While I was there, one lady was headed to Austin for her final attempt, and failed. She didn't seem to take it too seriously, sadly, because it's $6k per month to be there.
Graduation rates are important to many of these schools. Depending on what state they are in there are grants and financing programs available to prospective students through the state's unemployment programs. I know in Texas these funds become available at various times depending on what is going on with the state's budget. The trucking schools become eligible for these funds by having a high graduation rate.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
I'll give you guys an update on the school next month. tenterprisesinc.com
