The CDL-A program was exceptional, and unlike Alamo Colleges has the option to test in a manual transmission, meaning your license will have no restrictions when you pass. Every instructor has extremely valuable insight into the industry, and I don't believe I would have passed let alone been prepared for real world situations without them allowing me time with each of them. They aren't required by the government to teach us the things we actually need to know when it comes to driving. They're only required to get us past the test. However, the guys at SCI WILL teach you crucial things like how to back under a trailer and make sure the kingpin locks in, how to focus on sharp U-turns, and what it's going to be like when you're not in the ideal setting for learning but in the real world having to work your way around all kinds of issues you never faced in class. I am truly forever grateful for the experience here!Also it's gonna be about $5,800 all said and done if you pay cash and pass the first time. Just facts, but it's worth it, and the loan program with Liberty Loans is exceptional. I paid the upfront costs of like $1500 in April, and have no more payments until they start early in October. As long as you don't drag ass, you'll have a job well before the bill comes due.
