Accredited School
An accredited school is a school that is eligible to participate in certain federal student aid programs. This might be a college or graduate school, or a vocational or trade school. Most major colleges and universities are accredited. Contact your school to determine if it is accredited.

Don't the Alamo Colleges down in SA have a CDL-A course? They would definitely be accredited.
If you don't mind traveling, Coastal Bend in Alice and Del Mar College in Corpus Christi have schools. The one at Del Mar is supposed to be really good. It's relatively cheap at $3500, and apparently they limit class size to three people. Also, they have a program that you can enroll in that pays 75% of your tuition, so it will only cost you about $750 out-of-pocket. You can also find grants that will cover that part too, but you'll need to do some research on that.
I'm going to be laid off in a couple months and as soon as I am, I am off to the Del Mar school. Already got the go-ahead on the tuition grant and have applied for my TWIC Card. Now, I just gotta get thru the school and get the licences and endorsements.
BTW, this thread is great. Hell, this whole forum is great. Thanks everyone!Last edited: Aug 1, 2013

So far, it's good. Finding these wells can be a problem, but I think I'll be able to work that out too. It has been a challenge to learn everything, but I'm getting it down slowly, but surely.
I'll post more about the training later when I have more time.TruckinBuc and RSQ Diver Thank this. -
