A list of Level I and Level II classes can be found below. Choose course Level and Month to see available courses. If the status is set as open you can click the link to go to the Pupil Transportation Database. If you already have an account you can login in and register for a course. If you do not have an account you will need to register for an account on the Pupil Transportation Database before registering for a course. If you are taking the Level I to transport 16 or more passengers (CDL required vehicle) you will need to register for the 5-hour Level I class. (You will only be able to register for this after successful completion of the 2 online courses. Registration for those classes is available through the Pupil Transportation Database.) If you will ONLY be driving a small vehicle, you must attend the first three hours of the 11-hour Level I class. Instructions can be found below.
