THE POWER OF NEXTTECH

The CDL Class A/B Truck Driver program readies an entry-level student for the rigors of the trucking industry. New

Reflections Technical Institute’s CDL Class A/B License course features a two-week permit session that prepares the

student within a structured learning environment made up of blended learning: e-learning, lecture, and hands-on.

This ‘hands-on first’ approach allows the student to gain their competencies in an environment where 80% of the

curriculum is done in an actual truck. Upon completion of the CDL C-Class A/B Program, the student is placed with a

trucking partner company.

New Reflections Technical Institute (NRTI) commits to making a significant impact in three important

ways:

1. Graduating, certifying and/or training all eligible candidates in the program.

2. Guaranteed job placement services for all eligible candidates after graduating with certifications and/or a

commercial driver’s license.

3. Supporting candidates for 12 months after job placement with career counseling, ranging from career

development to financial management.
