No Assessment Required to Start

You do not need to take — or not meet — the BTB CDL Job Ready™ Assessment before enrolling in this course. If you already know you need a refresher, start here. When you begin the course, a short Diagnostic Assessment sets your starting point — it is not pass/fail, not a hiring assessment, and not the Job Ready Assessment.

Already believe you're Job Ready? Take the separate BTB CDL Job Ready™ Assessment instead — it is a different measurement, and this course will be here if it identifies gaps.
