The director of the North Dakota Department of Transportation is responsible for the regulation of commercial driver training schools and instructors.
Chapter 39-25 of the N.D.C.C. gives the director authority to adopt and prescribe regulations concerning the administration and enforcement of this chapter as are necessary to protect the public.
Administrative Rules contains more information for driver training school and instructor requirements.
North Dakota State Statute 39-25 and Administrative Rule 37-13 authorizes the North Dakota Department of Transportation to waive the Class D road test for students who successfully complete the required behind the wheel and classroom training.
In addition to the monitoring requirements in Administrative Code 37-13, NDDOT may randomly road test students who complete the training at an approved Driving School. If discrepancies or concerns are found, the Driving School’s approval to have the road test waived will be rescinded.
To participate in the Road Test Waiver Program you must be an approved Class D Driving School or a Public School. See Administrative Rule 37-13.
