  1. Attend a CWRU Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) one-hour Driver Safety Training. Completion of this training is required to operate any University vehicle.
    • You must register online for the training (dates and times are listed in form) before attending. When registering - select 'Student Affairs' for 'Division' and type in 'Center for Civic Engagement and Learning' for 'Department'.
    • Training sessions are offered approximately four times per month and are held in-person at the EHS office; directions here.
    • Bring your valid U.S. driver's license with you to the session.
    • Be sure to keep a copy of the form given by EHS after completing the training to submit to CCEL or upload in the online CCEL Van Driver Certification Test.
  2. Watch the CCEL Van training video.
  3. Download a copy of the CCEL Van Use Handbook and read the material thoroughly. This packet includes important information about the van use regulations and emergency protocols.
    Complete the online CCEL Van Driver Certification Test. This is an open book assessment, so you are welcome to refer to the van use handbook and training video to answer the questions.

After submitting the CCEL Van Certification Test, you will receive an email notifying you of your CCEL van driver certification status. Students who have completed the CCEL Van Driver Certification process are welcome to do a practice drive (at no cost) to increase familiarity with the vehicles. To schedule a practice drive, contact CCEL at commservice@case.edu.

Safety is the top priority for all CCEL vans. Certified CCEL van drivers must abide by all van use regulations when operating a CCEL van, as outlined in the Van Use Handbook above.
