Driving

The experience was great. Always wanted to drive a truck since I was little. Called talked to Lillian. Told me what I had to do. Had an awesome teacher Dan Goul. Showed me everything I need to know. Helped me out with the manual truck. Now thanks to dan i got a job over the road.

Very professional and friendly

Huge shoutout to Dan, Jerry, and John at the Orlando branch. I had a great time learning and earning my CDL. Dan you are a machine when it comes to manual transmission. Such great patience you show and very knowledgeable about the process. Jerry my friend, you also show great patience with with everyone, not sure how you do it lol. Anyway, I had a wonderful experience there. Thanks again for teaching me everything I needed to know.

160 Driving Academy/Orlando, Florida

I went out to the Orlando location for a few days of refresher lessons after struggling to pass my final exam to get my cdl. The instruction that I was given to me by Eddie, Jerry and Dan was excellent. They took the necessary time to teach me what I needed in order for me to pass my exam. They were all very kind and patient and made me feel welcome. I’m now a licensed CDL holder and I’m so grateful to these instructors for helping me learn the necessary skills to pass the exam. I highly recommend the Orlando location for anyone seeking to learn how to drive commercial vehicles.

Manual

If you wanna learn how to drive manual and pass your test on the first try go to Bryan. Best teacher I had. This was my second time back just to get my manual restriction removed.

Andre

Andre was a great trainer and made the course very interesting. Never a dual moment in his class.

I did hotshot for awhile before making this decision, i got instructor Andre and i can say he made me love what i do all over again i recommend this school to any and everyone take a chance at this life changing decision.

Best school

Thank you to Mr.Andre and Ms.Lori for being the best instructors to teach me how to become a professional driver. Not only did they fill my head with the most cdl information but they both were very patient and full of knowledge. Thank you both again

Got my CDL!!

I recently graduated from 160 driving academy!! I wanna give a special shout out to a few of my favorite people from my school! First and foremost I want to thank Eddie for believing me. He never gave up on me and showed endless faith in me even when I stopped having faith in myself. Next, I want to thank Nancy. She made me feel at home the entire time and pushed me to be the best version of myself that I can be. She has the patience of a saint and is such a wonderful woman. The last person I want to thank is Stephanie. Stephanie has been so helpful and informative. She’s the reason I joined 160 in the first place and she never stopped being supportive. Stephanie is an Angel and she’s so trustworthy. She was able to answer any questions I had and never made me feel like I was alone. Each instructor had their own teaching style and every one of them is so helpful. I took little pieces of advice from everyone I met and used it to get through the program successfully. I’d recommend this school to anyone looking to get their cdl.
