  • Commercial Skills Test Information Management System (CSTIMS)

  • The Commercial Skills Test Information Management System (CSTIMS) is an Internet-based tool that provides a consistent way to track the scheduling and entry of test results for commercial skills tests by jurisdiction and third-party examiners.

    CSTIMS enforces jurisdiction-defined rules to manage commercial driver's license (CDL) skills testing and alerts various parties when circumstances are encountered that may require investigation to determine if fraud has occurred. Additionally, CSTIMS produces reports that can be reviewed for patterns of potential fraud.

    CSTIMS Production & Training Site

    CSTIMS also offers three web services to help the jurisdictions optimize their experience with the application. 

    • Test Results Service (TRS)– This service allows a Jurisdiction to retrieve  test results for their applicants from CSTIMS using either a DLN or a date range. 
         
    • CSTIMS Tablet Web Service – This service is used by a State that utilizes tablets for administering the skills test. It allows the tablet to retrieve  existing skills test schedules from CSTIMS and submitting the test scores to CSTIMS thus avoiding the manual entry of test scores in CSTIMS.
         
    • CSTIMS Applicant Search Service (CASS) – This service allows CSTIMS to query for applicant data from the specific State’s host system. When the applicant is found and retrieved, the data then pre-populates the applicant record in CSTIMS providing data integrity and greatly reducing human error.

        
    If your jurisdiction is interested in learning more about any of these services, please contact cstims_support@aamva.org.

    To provide context on the intricacies of CSTIMS, AAMVA recommends that people new to CSTIMS begin by reviewing the following overview document before going through the other presentations which provide a much more detailed description of the CSTIMS functionality.
