Welcome to CVTA Instructor Certification Programs

Because you are reading this page, you are dedicated to professionalism. Our Association thanks you for your commitment.

The CVTA Mike Byrnes Testing Center is named after a founder of the Association who is now deceased. During his life, Mike was a tireless, devoted advocate for professional truck driver training. He was involved for many years in developing training curricula and promoting driver training for all entry-level drivers.

The CVTA Instructor Certification Program was developed to assist you, the professional trainer, in learning better ways to convey the knowledge and skills that you already posses to your students.

As an Association, CVTA is committed to improving highway safety by providing entry-level drivers with the best possible education so that they will operate safely and be successful in their careers as professional drivers,

As you proceed through the Program, you will be working toward the designation “Certified Master Instructor.” In doing so, you will be joining hundreds of your colleagues nationwide that have already achieved the designation and display it proudly. We wish you luck in your studies, and our staff stands ready to help you in any way.

If you are already a Master Instructor, and returning to further your education as a “Certified Safety Professional,” we applaud the commitment that you have already shown, and wish you well as you work toward the next level of professionalism.

Mike O'Connell, Executive Director and Counsel
