Other endorsements in Illinois

Different curriculum, different test, different providers

What School Bus endorsement training has to cover

The federal requirements for this endorsement

49 CFR 383.93(b)(5) lists school buses among the vehicle types requiring an endorsement, and 383.93(c)(5) requires a knowledge test and a skills test. Like Passenger, School bus (S) is one of the three endorsements 383.93(a)(2) allows on a commercial learner's permit.

The curriculum is Appendix D to 49 CFR Part 380 and it is the most distinctive of the five. Its units have almost nothing in common with the freight curricula:

  • Unit D1.1 Danger Zones and Use of Mirrors — the danger zones around a school bus, correct mirror adjustment and usage, the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 at 49 CFR 571.111, the dangers of dart-outs, and teaching students themselves to stay out of the danger zone.
  • Unit D1.2 Loading and Unloading — the laws and procedures for students waiting at a stop and crossing the roadway, ensuring the danger zone is clear and no student is caught in the doorway before moving, proper use of lights, stop arms and crossing gates, the risk of leaving students unattended, and checking the bus for sleeping children and lost items at the end of every route.
  • Unit D1.4 Post-Crash Procedures — fire extinguishers, first aid kits, tending to injured passengers, securing the vehicle, notification, deciding whether to evacuate, and interaction with law enforcement.
  • Unit D1.5 Emergency Exit and Evacuation — including the specific case of students on field and activity trips who ride only occasionally and may not know the procedures.
  • Unit D1.6 Railroad-Highway Grade Crossings — types of crossing, warning signs and devices, and state and local procedures for school buses.
  • Unit D1.7 Student Management — managing behaviour, warning signs of bullying, administering discipline, and specifically avoiding distraction by student behaviour while driving, with railroad crossings and loading called out.

Appendix D requires the training to be conducted in a school bus of the same vehicle group as the applicant intends to drive. No minimum hours, all topics covered, proficiency determined for every behind-the-wheel element, clock hours documented.

18in the directory
18in the state register
16cities
14counties

The largest concentration is in Chicago: 3 of 18 (17%). Other cities covered include Alsip (1), Ashland (1), Downers Grove (1), Joliet (1), Macomb (1), and 10 more.

By county, the 18 entries fall across 14 counties; the largest are Cook (5), Adams (1), Cass (1), DuPage (1).

These 18 entries come from a register that publishes no registration dates at all. For those, the only thing that can honestly be said is that the facility appeared in the state register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. No issue, renewal or expiry date is shown for them, and none is guessed.

All 18 hold the same class of registration: FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider, in the source's own wording.

18 of the 18 (100%) hold more than one class of registration. Each is one entry here, with every class it holds shown in its record detail. Across this page the classes held include Class B (18), Passenger (18), School Bus (18), Class A (4), Hazardous Materials (2).

By what they actually deliver: 18 offer classroom or online theory instruction, 16 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads and 16 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range. 16 of the 18 can deliver both the range and the public-road portions, which matters because 49 CFR 380.707(c) allows the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to come from different providers but requires both behind-the-wheel portions to come from the same one. 2 offer theory only, so a trainee using one of them needs a second provider for the driving half.

17 of 18 publish a phone number and 4 have a website. Phone numbers are normalized to one format here; the registers publish them several different ways.

The Training Provider Registry publishes a phone number and a website for some providers and not for others, so the coverage below varies by place.

The map positions come from the register itself rather than from an address lookup. No distance claim is made anywhere in this text; the "nearest to me" list computes straight-line distances in your own browser from your own location.

3 of the 18 entries could not be placed on a map: the register gives a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction rather than a street address, and 3 of those are currently on the register. They are listed and searchable here by name, city and county, and left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Guessing a plausible position for a PO box would be worse than admitting there is not one.

Every record on this page comes from Training Provider Registry, published by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov as dataset training-provider-registry. Each card carries the date the record was last re-checked.

School Bus in Illinois: questions

Which cities in School Bus training in Illinois have schools?
By count: Chicago (3), Alsip (1), Ashland (1), Downers Grove (1), Joliet (1), Macomb (1), Madison (1), Marengo (1), Mason City (1), Minooka (1), plus 6 more. Addresses, registration class and, where the register publishes them, registration dates are in the list above.
Are these schools currently licensed?
The state register these records come from publishes no registration dates, so the honest answer is narrower than it looks: each of these 18 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. No expiry date is shown because none is published, and none is guessed. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.
Why does one address hold several licenses?
Because a row in the state register is a license, not a business. 18 of the 18 entries on this page hold more than one class at the same address, typically an inspection license alongside a repair or dealer license. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the facility rather than on the license, so one shop is one listing and its other classes appear on its own page.
Which of these can do the behind-the-wheel training?
16 of the 18 are registered for both the range and the public-road portions. 2 offer theory only. The distinction matters: 49 CFR 380.707(c) permits the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to be delivered by separate providers, but requires both behind-the-wheel portions, range and public road, to come from the same provider. Breakdown here: theory instruction 18, behind-the-wheel public-road training 16, behind-the-wheel range training 16.
Why do the cards not show star ratings?
No public rating has been matched to any of these 18 records, so no stars are shown. The registration record is the stronger signal in any case: where the register publishes them, the issue date, last renewal, expiry and the Training Provider Registry listing all come from the issuing authority, which is not true of a star average.
Why are some entries missing from the map?
3 of these 18 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.

Get told when the register changes

Licenses lapse and get renewed constantly: in the current data nearly a quarter of the records in one state register have already expired. We re-check the registers and email a short summary of what moved.

One email when the register data is refreshed or a rule changes. No more than monthly.
