Northern Colorado Truck Driving Academy

Fantastic experience: Amazing school. I passed my CDL test this morning. I wanna salute all the instructors on the support and help they had to offer me. Wouldn’t have been able to do without them. So, thanks again for everything!

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn the trade. Instructors are very thorough and truly care about their drivers becoming confident and safe.

Fantastic experience: The NCTDA program is great ! The staff are all awesome!! They make sure each student gets what they need to understand each thing. I felt very comfortable asking questions to all of them and they never hesitated to help out. Going through the program was very fun and I really enjoyed it every day! I recommend it to anyone looking to get their CDL.

Fantastic experience: As a student, I had no CDL experience and the instructors have gone above and beyond to chisel away at my stress and anxiety about driving. The instructors have been supportive and provided lessons that keep building on each other where now I have confidence in taking my upcoming test. It is amazing to watch how all of us students came into the class with different struggles and how the instructors customized the lessons and worked with each student to help us overcome those struggles. The environment has been fun loving, enjoyable, everyone elevates each other but yet serious enough to equip each of us with tools for success. I test soon but I know that NCTDA has prepared me for success and the test is all on me now. —Sheddy

Negative experience: As I was an instructor that worked there..That went above and beyond for you! So if you passed, you’re welcome!! Now, You will find yourself lost and struggling to learn how to shift.. you will struggle on drives, hills and turns!! They will tell you to not get any lower than six gear, Just stop in six gear is what they’re gonna say! And other skills. They will say it’s you!! You need more time. Or something!! In all reality, most instructors other then Dave, there don’t have right patients or communication skills or the knowledge to get you through, or one will just be plan rude!! If it’s not going his way!! They will put you in an automatic truck, Because it makes it easier on them to not have to teach you how to shift, but they get paid the same, It’s easier for them! And not train you to your best abilities, and give up on you!! cause they don’t know how to fix it or shift right themselves. If they did, you would to!! You will pass through all of them and come out no better. But if you drive with Nick, and you hit a car, making a left-hand turn, don’t worry he’ll pay for that car bumper so it won’t be reported!! They will favor the people that have a little bit experience, That way they can make it look like they’re doing something right, Good luck with them!! I know cause they would have me to fix the ones that struggle. Well, I’m not there anymore! Sorry everyone!! They say, they teach the bare minimum. That’s cause that’s all they got.. excuses !! you will learn in the short trailers, and not know how to handle a 53 footer when you actually get out on the road. IMPORTANT, remember the people that train you CANNOT test you !! This school will go down hill for sure!! Just my own personal opinion!! O and they will bribe you with a 10$ gift card for a good review!! When and if you pass!!
