Best decision to invest your time and money in NCTDA if Commercial Driving is your new career, or you've been away for years and need a good refresher. All the instructors know how to train, with patients and positive reinforcement. I am 53 and totally new to this. The 160 Hour 3 week CDL-A course seemed a little long before starting, but it was just right to build the skills and confidence for both the written test and especially the driving test. They gave us a list of companies that had hired their graduates in the past. I reached out to several the end of the second week and all were interested in talking to me. I past my CDL test Tuesday morning, got my license Tuesday afternoon. Interviewed with two companies Wednesday and accepted an offer Thursday. First thing Monday morning was a pre-employment driving test with full pre-trip inspection in one of the company trucks, which was a different than what we had at school. But, I had enough of skill and confidence to make the adjustments and do very well on that test. All the Drivers at my company made over $75K last year even though part of the year was slow. (My Dad always told me to buy the best and I'll never be disappointed, he was right yet again.) You won't find better CDL training in the Colorado region. I am very thankful to everyone at NCTDA for all the fantastic training!!! Read Less

This is a great company to help you get your cdl. The 10 hour course is very helpful and the instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with students. I went here for both my class B and class A training. I had a lot of fun working with this company. I highly recommend using them if you want to learn how to drive a manual transmission with double clutching. Read Less

I was very happy with the NCTDA after getting my CDL. My instructor was Nick, who is also their director of training. He was very good at explaining things and made me understand a lot, really fast. He was very knowledgeable and a fantastic instructor. Their trucks were new, clean and worked well. They had good working relationship with the CDL examiner so meeting him was less intimidating and they prepared me well for what maneuvers he would have me do. Overall it was well worth my money and I'm very harpy I choose to work with the NCTDA. Highly recommended. Read Less

I'd like to say that NCTDA was a positive learning experience for me. The preparation for the written and driving exams was extensive, and made taking both of the test relatively easy. You do have to put in the time to learn, but if you do you will be well prepared. I'd also like to mention that Nick and his staff, that's you Ryan, were both friendly and willing to go the extra mile to see that you get a positive and well rounded experience. I'd like to also mention that there was a mix up with my permit that was due to the DMV, and that Nick went beyond the measure to see that I was able to test without waiting. I highly recommend NCTDA to anyone that is serious about getting their CDL. Read Less
