Congratulations on your CDL achievement, Angel! You were an awesome student and now CDL holder! Best of luck on the road and thank you for your five-star review!
Fantastic experience: Overall, great school. Staff and instructors were great. Liz is a true MVP, if I was the owner I’d give her like 85% ownership. Next Mr.Gabriel is a phenomenal instructor. By far the best instructor in the entire Midwest. Scott, Dennis, Mark and Ms.G were great. Ben does a fantastic job at running the Cicero location, regardless of of how many negative comments people make, at the end, it’s the work you put in, I started March 18 and graduated April 24 on manual transmission. I was really happy with the experience and met great people.
Congratulations on your CDL achievement, Jose! We appreciate your kind words about our staff! We give our students the best possible treatment and training in order for them to succeed! You did just that! We wish you the best in your CDL endeavors! Thank you for your five-star review.
Negative experience: They seem all about the money. They convince people to sign up in hopes of getting a CDL, but once you're already in, they no longer care to actually help you. They'll stick you in a "computer lab" with outdated computers by yourself to study for a permit, which can be done at home for free using a phone app. Then once you've obtained a permit, they finally let you attend the one class room they have. It's about 20 to 40 students with only 4 or so instructors. The classroom is way overcrowded with students and understaffed. The instructors are very rude and impatient, they'll try to intimidate you as if you're in the army. Perhaps they're just frustrated about being understaffed, so they take it out on the students. You're not going to get much help, and they expect you to pass quickly as well. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else for you CDL.
Hello! We are sorry to hear about your experience but we hope to hear about these concerns to find a resolution. Like in any profession, there are unexpected situations that arise but we always find a way to provide our students with the best possible training. We educate you in your meeting with Admissions that the training is group learning. Our testing is determined by who is proficient and ready for a road test! We encourage you to address the manager on-site to resolve this matter. We look forward to hearing from you!
