An Online Training Program for New Bus Drivers! (Available September 2020)
PTSI’s Online Entry-Level Driver Training program provides the required knowledge for new drivers applying for their CDL with Passenger (P) and School Bus (S) endorsements.
PTSI Online Entry-Level Driver Training Program:
You Can Rely Upon PTSI
This program teaches new school bus drivers the fundamentals of operating a commercial vehicle before they get behind the wheel of a bus.
PTSI has also developed an ELDT BTW Trainer’s Guide which will guide the delivery of the Behind the Wheel portions of the requirement for both BTW Closed Range and BTW Public Road portions.
The ELDT BTW Trainer’s Guide will help employers and districts meet the upcoming FMCSA standards and has the potential to help an operation reduce incidents and collisions plaguing new drivers in that first and second year.
Why Online Training?
Deliver Better Training for LESS Money
Online training is less expensive than hiring an instructor for the same number of hours. Assign the ELDT Online Theory program for trainees to complete at their own pace, so your instructors can spend their time on in-person review and discussions on key curriculum areas.
Benefits to Drivers
PTSI’s Online Theory program develops critical skills such as how to prepare the vehicle for optimum visibility, compensating for environmental factors, driving defensively, and reacting to potentially dangerous traffic situations.
Benefits to Trainers
PTSI’s Online Theory program frees trainers to focus their time on teaching new drivers behind the wheel after basic theory has been mastered. PTSI maintains secure student data and proof of certification upon training completion.

Behind-the-Wheel Range & Road Trainer’s Guide
PTSI’s Behind-the-Wheel Range & Road Trainer’s Guide is created for specifically school bus drivers to meet the Behind the Wheel (BTW) portions of the FMCSA ELDT requirement for both Range and Road portions. The Trainer’s Guide gives instructors with coaching techniques to assist the new drivers through the range and defines what “proficiency” looks like for the driver to be successful on the behind the wheel road portion of their training. The Range & Road Trainer’s Guide provides a comprehensive plan to meet FMCSA standards for setting up the range course required training in your own open lot, as well as identifying the necessary public road characteristics and circumstances needed for the driver to meet Federal CDL driving standards and requirements.
