You must be at least 21 and hold a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record to become a school bus driver in Vermont. This career path requires you to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Passenger (P) and a School Bus (S) endorsement. You must pass a DOT physical exam and written knowledge tests for general commercial driving, passenger transport, and school bus operation. The FMCSA mandates Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for all aspiring school bus drivers.

Next, you must attend a state-approved school bus driver clinic covering student safety, emergency procedures, and pre-trip inspections. The official Vermont Commercial Driver’s Manual (Vermont CDL Handbook 2026) describes commercial driving theory in detail, with individual chapters on the passenger and school bus endorsements. Please read the contents of this manual at least once, and when you’re ready, use our practice tests to evaluate your knowledge.

Our Vermont CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test can significantly boost your learning potential. It is designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official written School Bus knowledge test. All 20 multiple-choice questions have multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. The voice-over function can be toggled from the test settings menu. Once activated, an artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud, making it easier for you to retain information and avoid distractions.
