Prerequisites for the Hazardous Materials Endorsement Course
To enroll in the Hazardous Materials Endorsement Theory Instruction course, you must have a valid driver’s license and be at least 18 years of age prior to the start of class. While this course provides the necessary theoretical training, there are additional requirements you must meet to successfully obtain the actual hazardous materials endorsement on your commercial driver's license (CDL).
Endorsement Requirements
Upon completion of this course, you will need to fulfill the following steps to obtain your endorsement:
Complete a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) background check and fingerprinting. This is a federal requirement to ensure security for the transport of hazardous materials.
Obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), which can be a Class A, B, or C. This course does not provide the training for a standard CDL.
Take and pass the corresponding hazardous materials knowledge test at the Department of Licensing (DOL). This exam validates the theoretical knowledge you gained in the course and is the final step in the process.
In addition to the previously mentioned requirements, all instruction at DRIVE509 is provided exclusively in English. To ensure students are prepared for the state-administered knowledge test, they are required to pass all quizzes in English.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
