2024 CDL RoundTable (click here for the audio from it). Stephen Daignault from Narragansett started off and then Ben Skurka from Pawtucket DPW spoke and sent the following information:
Here are a couple hyperlinks to get information on ELDT. I also have attached the two forms I spoke about today (below). There really isn’t to much to this. The biggest part is finding a competent person to have/hire as a trainer. Then that person basically files these application and waits to get responses from the DMV and the Post-Secondary Commission. I’m more than happy to meet with anyone regarding this information. We could meet here at DPW and I can help in any way I can.
The first part is :
- Fill out the forms I have attached (below) and send them to proper channels listed on each form
- Go to FMCA website and register your trainer and place you will hold trainings.
- Have the trainer build a curriculum that works for them
- Setup classes and run with it
