An education in truck driving should always be accredited. As the truck driving profession is subject to strict state and federal regulations, drivers must possess a Commercial Drivers License (CDL). Courses preparing drivers for license testing must maintain and live up to government and logistics industry standards. In addition, and accredited truck driving education helps to ensure that students are receiving an reliable and sound education.
As driving laws change depending on the state, states often have accrediting bodies of their own for truck driving. One of the largest national accrediting bodies for truck driving education is the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT). Recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, the ACCSCT accredits truck driving programs and the institutions that offer them, setting out to promote and maintain a high standard of excellence in truck driving.
Six regional accrediting bodies are largely responsible for accreditation of truck driving education in the U.S.:
- Middle State Association of Colleges and Schools
- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
- North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges
- Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
- New England Association of Schools and Colleges
