9/2/22 Matt Pierce the financial aid administrator is a Lying GRIFTER ! HE SCAMMED me by charging the Amount of the GRANT & Loans Awarded. The tuition was not Over $10,000. He tacked on a extra few hundred dollars to make it add up closer to the amounts awarded. Idc if it's only $50 extra I am actively trying to get this investigated. He confuses you about the cost of tuition. He does not want you to know how much the total cost is so they can take whatever they want. THAT MEANS If its Over the amount they require. They keep it. When they are supposed to cut you a check. NTTS YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED !

They'll get you right. If you dont have big $ up front government will fund it but you gotta be there longer for it to be accredited; so stuff will seem repetitive but that's how you answer the system. Follow the rules. Good folks in there just do what they ask cuss behind a wall when you're aggravated and finish up. When you can see someone ain't worth you're time drift to a different group, you'll be alright.

Very good, helpful information in regards to CDL-A License, perhaps too pricy for me in my current situation..

I consider myself a second generation graduate of NTTS the man who raised me graduated in the early 80’s and still uses his cdl. I recently graduated last week. I’ve read every review others have left and would like to share my experience. I previously held a class b for ten years so Most was review. 1st off you will get outta this program what you put into it. They teach you the basics, the first week and a half your being read to out of the state NY state CDL manual and J.J.Keller training book and You’re watching videos. You’re taught the General Knowledge, combination and air brakes which is all that’s required to obtain a class A permit. You will review and take quizzes to help prep for the permit. Halfway through the second week we were doing yard maneuvers and hitting the road. The maneuvers we went through were see side, blind side, straight line, offset (see side and blind side) and parallel. They showed us a 90, alley dock and a horseshoe that they weren’t required for the dmv and said we may want to learn them once we become professional drivers. We were told they have a simulator in Liverpool which I believe everyone should use even if you have double clutching experience it would be a nice refresher. Me personally I’d start everyone in an automatic so they could get the basic vehicle handling down then add the shifting but remember the more you add the longer the course would have to be and the more they would have to charge to cover costs of fuel and instructors. My main instructors were Jeff and Zach they had told us many times that the only stupid question is the one you do not ask. Do yourself a favor and ask questions they’re not mind readers. Share your Concerns they will listen and do their best to help but they cannot if you don’t speak up. I only gave them a 4 because I believe NTTS should have had an instructor in the passenger seat and one viewing from the yard at all times when doing yard maneuvers which they may have at other locations I took mine at JCC and it was a first time attempt for a program there. There is a 3 students to 1 instructor ratio which is decent. Overall I am satisfied with the course and happy they provide truck and trailer for the dmv test, I previously had trouble obtaining both. I would like to thank Jeff and Zach, it truly takes a special person to do this job let’s face it some students don’t make it easy, Covid didn’t help and other drivers on the road don’t help either. I wish everyone the best of luck come February 2022 everyone will need a course like this to obtain a cdl,no more mom and pop trainings unless they’re licensed NY state instructors.
