From orientation all the way to the final test, I loved this school. The instructors and the owner are really nice and helpful. Definitely learned a lot in just 3 weeks. My class of 8 all passed their test on the first try. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into the field!

This class was great. Instructors were amazing. Will spend extra time on anyone who struggles. Different instructors with different styles there seems to be at least one that makes the complicated seem simple. Highly recommend this class for anyone getting their CDL. Just stick with it. Starts out overwhelming then in 3 weeks time you have the skills needed to pass the test.

Would not recommend! I signed up for the 10 hour class. I had 1 instructor the first day he cared more about his phone than teaching! Second day was a different instructor he changed everything the guy the first day taught me. Said his way was "easier". Decided to switch to the 24 hour class after only being there 6 hours the boss said I only had 11 hours coming. Simple math would have given me 18 but he said no! I went to The Randy Lopez CDL Training course in Loveland. 20 hour class for the same money as their 10 hour class!

Just graduated with certificate today. All the instructors Gary, Travis, Ron, Ryan, and Nick were all extremely knowledgeable and always willing to break things down to the lowest level to help everyone better understand. They keep the setting friendly, light and professional. I couldn't have picked a better CDL course to attend and am grateful for the knowledge they shared. If you're looking for a CDL course in the Noco area or are willing to travel. This is the one for you.

Amazing people! The entire instructing staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and patient. They will take their time with you to insure you have received the training expected. Handed me a list of companies to apply to within the first week of class and was employed by an OTR trucking company the next week. Practice range is an old airport that gives you the comfort of handling tractor trailers with ease and they wont send you onto public roads until you are comfortable doing so.

When you do hit the public roads an instructor will ride with you for hours to properly educate you on all matters involved with driving through towns, country, and hills. Taking the CDL test is incredibly smooth. Testers do not rush you and allow you to perform at your pace during pre-trip. Providing you with adequate space to perform backing maneuvers.

During the drive test the tester is clear and understandable about the entire process. If I could I would retake the program just because of the great experiences I had. Thank You NCTDA and all your staff.

Cant say enough good about these guys (and gal sharon). I was the first to graduate from the new amended class structure and let me say my $ was well spent! Travis Shramek was amazing! Such a great teacher. I felt like I could drive and take the test before I left the classroom! He had my confidence at its peak all while making sure I was humble and able to drive the truck and perform my test with confidence! Everyone at the facility is great highly regarded in my book. Dont hesitate give this place a call!

I got my permit and had no clue what to do next or how to do it. So I found NCTDA online and i think that's what I need is someone to pound it into my head! And that what I got from gary. I feel so comfortable inside and outside of my bus now. Gary is a cut and dry kind of guy like this is what you need to do or say if you want to pass bottom line!

I learned a ton thanks again gary! Ryan gave me my test and I was very nervous and he said just tell me everything you learned and lets go from there. Passes 1st time! He made me feel Comfortable with taking my tests. Thanks guys!

What a fantastic experience! The instructors are all well versed in their field. Having that much hands-on experience makes me feel so much more confident in my abilities now. The front office is amazing as well. The help I got from them made it so much easier then I had ever imagined. Thank you all for the help and training. Just a heads up, I get paid $2000 a week to start because of all of you.

Great academy to attend and get well perpared! Superb instructors, great atmosphere overall, good drive time and equipment to train in. Two instructors where key in obtaining my Clas A, which was Travis and Ryan; which are great at what they do. Travis helped me be on track, and was involved majorly on my learning. Therefore, i truly appreciate his help and teachings. I would 100% recommend the Academy.

Very good cervices and kind staff. I had Garry as a teacher, he was kind and very good at explaining things. I went in with a good amount of knowledge and still learned a ton. My test instructor was Ryan and he was very calm and personable. He did not add unnecessary anxiety or stress to my test and was good at furthering my knowledge after my test so that I am even more prepared for the real world. This place is hands down the best run driving class I've been to.
