I walked into this school an Accountant and walked out a Confident CDL Graduate and FEMALE Trucker!! Mrs. Julie Mensching was my continuous catalyst and support system from DAY 1 - Mrs. Julie answered all of my questions, texts, emails, phone calls, & seemed to be awake 24 hrs a day!! She's resourceful, Encouraging, PROFESSIONAL, Thoughtful, Trustworthy, Witty, exciting to work with & a SUPERB Branch Manager that never let anything slip through the cracks with students. She is her own Personal Assistant!! ENROLLMENT PROCESS - 10 STARS CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE - 10 STARS PROFESSIONALISM OF STAFF - 10 STARS YARD INSTRUCTORS - 10 STARS ORGANIZATION OF CURRICULUM & YARD TRAINING - 10 STARS COMFORTABILITY OF STUDENTS - 10 STARS *WEATHER WHILE ENROLLED - 0 STARS (It was FREEZING!!) LOL **The classroom learning environment was spacious, clean, comfortable, well-lit, & stress free. Easy to concentrate & communication with instructors was awesome! I truly learned there are no DUMB questions because all of mine were answered without prejudice. ** The YARD TRAINING is where I wanted to faint a thousand times, HOWEVER, the instructors did not allow me to do that! I exhibited every emotion known to man including tears and it didn't faze any of my instructors. They all were passionate, caring, sympathetic, but REFUSED to let me give up. The instructors were like drill sergeants at times to instill in students the importance of SAFETY & PERSEVERANCE which is key in Trucking - I respect that 1,000% The instructors work one-on-one with students to perfect any problem areas until they get it right!! The student trailers were a warm safe place to take a break, warm up, brainstorm with fellow students & watch instructional videos. OVERALL - I highly recommend 160 Driving Academy for obtaining your CDL and New Career. I've learned valuable information and met a diverse group of people who genuinely care! 160 is my 1st Trucking Family & I'll never forget this experience! THANK YOU 160 STAFF!! :-)
