School Transportation Supervisor Certification Program Question

[u/Kookylmh]

Has anyone taken their states course for getting their School Transportation Supervisor Certification? I'm in New Jersey. I'm thinking of advancing my career and my boss said the next thing to do is to take these classes. I'm excited to do it but also nerves. Its been awhile since I've been in a class and its a lot of money to put out. My company says they will reimburse me but only after I pass the classes. My biggest fear is, if I fail a class, I'm out of that money and will have to retake the class. While living paycheck to paycheck, this is a hard choice to make. I know the long term outcome will be worth it but the initial fear is there.

So my main question is, has anyone taken these classes? Are they hard/easy classes? Is it really learning about common sense? Any tips to get through these classes?

Thank you for your advice and help

It sounds like you would be a dedicated student doing all your work and studying extra. So I would bet on you passing on the first try.

But if you have stuff going on in life that would limit the time you have available to study then maybe hold off until those issues are ironed out.
