Mid-State Driving Academy in Birmingham, Alabama, is renowned for its comprehensive and flexible Commercial Driver's License (CDL) training programs. Catering to both Class A and Class B licenses, the school offers a variety of scheduling options, including morning, day, night, and weekend classes, allowing students to continue their current employment while pursuing their CDL. This flexibility is a significant advantage over many other programs that require students to abandon their jobs. The curriculum at Mid-State Driving Academy is thorough, encompassing online ELDT theory, pre-trip inspection mastery, backing maneuvers, and both range and road mastery.

Students can expect a program length that varies based on their individual progress, ranging from 3-4 weeks for Class B training to 5-8 weeks for Class A training. Financial assistance is readily available through payment plans and no-credit-check financing, and the academy is also welcoming to WIOA grant recipients. Emphasizing a hands-on learning approach, the school prepares students rigorously for the state CDL exam. The Birmingham location, along with its counterpart in Montgomery, is strategically located to serve students from across Alabama and neighboring states, furthering its mission to make CDL training accessible and affordable for a broad demographic. Additional resources, such as a student checklist and a CDL permit course, enhance the supportive environment for learners.
