Introduction
Our Highly
Qualified Staff and Instructors have trained thousands of qualified
students. They are currently licensed
and working in the rapidly growing field of Commercial Transportation.
Today I would like
to explain to you the Opportunities in the commercial driving field and how NVS
will help you to achieve these goals.
Q: What is National Vocational School, Inc.?
A: NVS is a commercial driver training
school that was founded in 1992 and trains on all types of vehicles, it will
take you all the way from no license to the license of your choice.
Q: Who
pays for the training? A: There is funding available from a state and city programs as well as privately funded programs. This is not a loan, and does not have to be paid back. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act substance and alcohol abuse is considered a disability. You ladies and gentlemen are eligible for this funding, and your training should cost you nothing. However the city and privately funded programs are performance based , which means that you must successfully complete the training program and find (with our help) and maintain legitimate gainful employment.
What will
funding cover?
1. These programs will generally pay for all your training and for your transportation
to and from the NVS training facility.
2. NVS will pay for your transportation to
and from the Dept. of Motor Vehicles and in most cases all required DMV fees (license
fees, photo fees, permit fees, endorsements, etc.).
3. NVS will pay for all additional
endorsements such as Hazardous Materials, Tanker, Doubles and Triples etc. This
will help to extend your employment opportunities.
4. Only available for state funded
students is the double license. If you
enroll in our tractor trailer program and do not use al1 of your allotted 39
hours behind the wheel, you can use your remaining hours for training on the
bus and a second road test on the bus at no additional cost. This will give you
an "A/P" license and the only vehicles you won’t be able to drive
will be motorcycles (and of course planes, trains and boats, ha-ha)
5. In both the Class "A" Tractor-Trailer Program and the Class "B/P" bus program there are additional training hours available in specialized standard shift training. Both programs include practice road tests for employment opportunities (when you apply for a job you will be asked to take a pre-employment road test. NVS offers you advanced tractor-trailer and/or bus training to help you prepare for these road tests*).
* I don't know of any other school that offers this*
* We are the only school that offers this.
7. NVS has two locations and two modern
training facilities in Brooklyn, New York and one in Bronx, NY.
9. Although a student rarely needs to take three road tests NVS will offer up to four road tests and all the required additional training without any additional cost to the state or city of New York. We do this so as not to delay your training in order to wait for approval for additional state funding.
10. NVS offers Lifetime Job Placement Assistance. If you lose your job and need help to find another one, you can call us or come in and we will help you
* We are the only school that offers
this.
CDL is for both men and women.
Driving a school bus is a great job for some women because there is no heavy
lifting involved and you work only four – five hours per day but get paid for
eight. When your children are home
from school, so are you, there is no need for school bus drivers when schools
are closed.
How to get started
Q:
How can I enroll as a student at NVS?
A: State funded consumers need to see their vocational counselor and express
an interest in obtaining a commercial drivers’ license at NVS.
Your counselor should then begin your paper work and set up an interview
at your local office.
