What Students in Albuquerque Are Saying
“My experience at 160 academy was excellent. Ms. Holly and Travis were the best instructors. They were very helpful, informative, understanding and patience. They will make sure that you get your experience and prepare you for your exam. Only thing I request is they need to do is upgrade their trucks and yard but overall they prepared me to get my CDL. If you work hard and show that you are confident they will help you by all means. Thank you for everything. I’m so happy I chose 160 academy.”
Darees H.
“I just completed my hours and just want to give thanks to instructor Roman. He is a great instructor, not only is he a great teacher but he cares about each and every one of his students. His patience and passion about what he does makes the learning experience so much easier. He wasn’t the lead instructor when I was there but I believe he should be. Many other students that I have talked to there all agree that Roman should be the lead. He truly deserves that role and I hope he gets it! Thank you 160 and thank you Roman!!”
Edward G.
“Roman is an incredible instructor. He’s supportive and is able to give you the skills you need to succeed. You can tell he trusts his students and their abilities. He allows us to make mistakes and learn from them and teaches us how to get out of tricky situations. He doesn’t just teach you what you need to know but he teaches us how to succeed far beyond our training and test. He cares very deeply about his students and their futures and will be with you every step of the way to get you to the finish line.”
AJ
“My class and instructors were great! A lot of great information and professionalism. I would highly recommend the class!”
