Good morning everyone! : )
I wanted to give an update for my Training class that graduated on 12/14/12 at Austin Community College Professional Truck Drivers School, in partnership with International Schools.

Overall, the school is "Great"!!!!!

James and the staff are personable and professional with the skills to help get you where you need to be!
They utilize incremental Skill building drills and procedures that allow the student learn and feel confident as each day progresses.

Just like with everything, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it! They emphasized from the beginning to be diligent in getting all the testing for our permits done at the earliest of opportunities, and it turned out to be very critical for a few in my class. If your still having to spend time retaking tests, while everyone else is already moved on to driving skills, you can put yourself behind the eight ball!

At the same time, their policy that allows you to roll to the next class in order to pass your driving test is great, and then it becomes a time thing, as it will require another week or maybe a month to get it done! They "are" flexible enough to give more attention to areas you may be struggling in, and once it again, it comes down to your attention and determination to get what they are teaching you.

It was such a positive feeling yesterday with all 13 students that Drive tested having their CDL-A, with the exception of one, and he will be testing again soon. The positivity and excitement was super high with the buzz of "next steps", getting jobs, to start earning some green! Which is pretty much what we were all there for!

So, even with having to deal with the equipment being sabotaged(which is still under high investigation), and a few other issues here and there, everyone came together and stepped up to make it a highly successful class.

If your looking for Truck Driving Training, and you live around the Austin, San Antonio, South Texas area, the A.C.C. program will get it done!
Refresher training, and job placement if you ever need it in the future!
I highly recommend it, and it is well worth the money!

Just in case they ever get to see this, I just want to let all the guys know how much I appreciate them!

James - the brains with a "heart" to keep us all motivated and moving forward!
Jonathon - the wisdom and skills to show us, and teach us what we needed to know day in and day out.
Bill - the "good ole guy" who can do it with his eyes closed, and one arm tied behind his back, and laughing all the while.
Edward - drill Sargent that won't take your @*&^!, and will show you again if you need it.
Dan - the epitome of patience who will let you do it your way, till you figure out what he taught you the first time works way better!
Rick - the recruiter, who tells you what it is, and he tells what it isn't, and reminds you that the ball is in your court and the choice is all you!

You are a great group, and it is very evident that you care about your students!
Thanks a million for all your efforts and support!

Hey Smoothgrind,

Any updates for the New Year as to where you're going to work? (if this is not too nosy!)

BTW, passed my writtens including all endorsements on 12/27; eager to get to the driving skills training next Monday.
