Great School. The Best Staff.

5.0 out of 5 · Eric C. · 6 years ago

I came to 160 to learn a new skill and start a new career during Covid. Before the Covid shut downs I was working in entertainment marketing, and my industry completely froze with no sign of of anything returning to normal. 160 presented me a path forward with a 4 week long intensive program to develop driving skills that would prepare me for the trucking industry job market. Tim and Rau were my instructors, and they were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help me understand anything I was struggling with. I went from no experience operating a manual transmission vehicle to being able to perform essential parking maneuvers, drive a semi like a competent driver, and passed my dmv test with 4 weeks of training. MaryAnn is also the hero of the office. She makes sure you get your dmv appointments in a timely manner, and keeps you updated on any important information you need to know. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to learn a new skill and start a new career.
