      8/29/2022 I signed up for the 160 hour cdl course, as a part time student. I was told i needed to complete 100 hours classroom time 20 hours skills time and 20 hours of driving time and also 20 hours to obtain my permit. Now I thought I was going to finish all of that in October, but was given a November completion date when I signed up, I thought ok I'm part time so I figured it would take a couple of weeks longer not months. 8/31/2022 I obtained my permit (CPL) and started the class and in order to complete the class you had to pass evaluations which I completed and passed on 10/03/2022. Which advanced me to outside to participate and train for skills and driving. Now when I got outside for the 1st week I had to learn and teach myself and learn from current students not instructors. After 2 weeks of doing the skills another student told me I had to ask about going on the road to get ************* and that I have to go and ask everyday or else I won't get no drive time. So I went to see if I could get on the road to get drive time and was told I need to pass enough evaluations, but the instructor rarely gave them out. Plus I was part time so when he did do evaluations it was in the afternoon when I wasn't present so I would only get an evaluation once a week. So after about 4 weeks outside and finally getting 2 evaluations I asked again about going on the road and was granted the opportunity to do so I believe on 10/25. Now the group i went with it was all our 1st time, the following i was scheduled but was then bumped off and never put back on. After begging to get on the road I finally gave up and asked to be transferred and was told no, asked for a refund and was told no. So I asked to switch course since it was fewer people and it was granted. Now here we are on 12/21 and the same issue I'm getting promised road time but can't get on the road and getting bumped by newer students. I signed up for a 160 hour course and now have 224 hours
