“The program is very thorough, informative and detailed. I would like to especially thank the branch manager Suresh and lead instructor Jennifer, as well as all the other instructors for their committed effort and never giving up on me. If it wasn't for all their support I would not have passed this class. I have and will continue to recommend 160 driving academy in Milwaukee.”

“I want to thank Branch Manager Joe Suedeck at 160 Driving Academy in Milwaukee Wisconsin and all the instructors for all their Help and instruction of my Son Ken in getting his Class A Driving License. If you live in the Milwaukee area and want to get a Class A Driving License 160 Driving Academy is the place to go to. If I could I would rate them as 6 Stars I could. I just can't say enough good things about Joe and the 160 Driving Academy. Thank you for all you have done to help my Son to get his Class A”

“Let me start by saying that most of the instructors AT THE MILWAUKEE yard are great, the ones that stand out are Tim Jason Patty and Jennifer, they all go out of their way to help their students gain the knowledge they need to be successful. They all made it a fun learning experience and I thank them all for that. The negative things at the milwaukee location are the yard "leads" ,Jack and frank, they spend 90% of the time in the instructor pack van, and even they do come out, it's not too help out, or give one of the instructors a break from the heat, it's to tell them they're not doing their job right, or to talk bad about some of the other instructors. They would talk bad about the instructors that were working hard, and say nothing about the ones sitting under the car port playing on the phone.. ot is very obvious in the yard that they make not only the students uneasy, but the ones that are working in the heat doing all the real work..”

“They have some really good teachers that will get you ready for the CDL test. They enjoy coffee and make it fun to learn new skills. James is a real pro who will show you how to put those tandems where you want them and has really cool suspenders”
