Students must be a minimum age of 18 years old at the start of class, provide a birth certificate or U.S. passport, have a valid Arizona motor vehicle license for a minimum of one year, be an Arizona resident, be at least 21 years old to transport placarded amounts of hazardous material or work in interstate commerce, and obtain a U.S. Department of Transportation Medical Certificate. Students who are between 18 and 21 years of age are restricted to driving only in Arizona and transporting non-placarded amounts of hazardous material. Potential students should be aware prospective employers will review their MVD driving records and may require a five-year background records check.
