    I know that unimployment office for Olympia or Lakewood not sure wich, has grants set aside specifically for CDS. I was in class two years ago with 3 student going there basically free. To any current students, if Clair is still there please tell him hi for me I lost his number. Best teacher on staff back then

    Wanted to update this thread,
    I am finishing up week 2 at the Port Orchard campus, I can't say enough good things about our instructors.

    Our classroom instructor Don, he is fantastic. Pay attention in class and listen to his advise. I passed my CDL tests first time no problem. He is one of the nicest and most personable people I have met.

    My road instuctor is Dave, he is awesome. Follow his instructions to the letter, and you will learn fast! He has taught me to work on even some of the trickyist turns in town. He will NEVER belittle you or raise his voice (even when I made some stupid mistakes)

    Office staff over there will bend over backwards to help you! They came into class and took time to assist us with placement and resumes.

    The owner even took the time to come and shake my hand and listen to any concerns I may have had.

    If you had to pay out of pocket (like me) it is worth the $4,500!

    It comes highly recommended from me, I will update my progress as I go!

    Glad to hear you had a great experience. Give us an update 6 months into the job, with all the things you find they did not teach you.

    recent graduate of CDS too
    went to the Lakewood Facility, gotta agree, Clair is a great teacher
    soft spoken, knowledgable and easy-going, even when us n00bs are flipping out over every little mistake
