“I moved here from a city with public transit and didn’t learn to drive until my late 20s. I signed up for driving lessons with Student 1st School and my instructor Kevin was amazing. He never made me feel embarrassed about being a beginner and really helped me nail parallel parking.“

“Loved instructor Jeanette when I took private lessons! Whenever I had something I was confused about, she explained it in a simple way that made it easy to understand and remember. Throughout the whole lesson, she hyped me up when I did well, building my confidence in driving. She also always asked whether there was anything specific I wanted to work on, making each driving lesson tailored to what I wanted to improve on. Overall experience taking driving lessons here was great!“

“I took the course on 6/23/26–6/24/26 (starting at 8:00 AM first day), and I wanted to share what you can expect.

The first day begins in a classroom inside the BMW motorcycle dealership. The facility is clean, comfortable, air-conditioned, and surrounded by motorcycles. They even have complimentary popcorn and coffee, which was a nice touch.

Our classroom instructor was excellent because he was both knowledgeable and engaging. He shared real-world stories that made the lessons memorable. Such as how a rock got kicked up and hit him in the shin while riding one day. Or how you can get stuck somewhere if you have a tinted visor at night and now can’t see. I hadn’t been in a classroom since college, and it was genuinely enjoyable to be learning in that environment again.

The riding portion moves at a fast pace because there’s a lot to cover in a short amount of time. While you don’t get as much time to know the instructors personally, both of mine worked incredibly well together. Their communication, professionalism, and natural banter made the course both efficient and enjoyable. I could feel their passion for riding and it made me excited to show up again the next day.

I highly recommend bringing your own lunch. The course provides cold water throughout the day, but breaks are short, and there isn’t much time to leave for food. It does get hot during the riding exercises, but honestly, that’s part of the experience. Riding in warm weather is something you’ll encounter on the road, so it helps prepare you for real-world conditions.

One classmate dropped his bike twice during training. The instructors stayed calm, encouraged him to shake it off, and simply had him reschedule to try again another day. I appreciated how supportive they were. Personally, I found the bikes forgiving to ride, and as long as you stay focused and follow instructions, dropping the bike isn’t something I’d worry too much about.

The course goes beyond teaching basic motorcycle controls. It teaches you how to recognize common hazards, understand the risks riders face every day, and develop habits that make riding safer. You’re not just learning how to operate a motorcycle. You’re learning how to stay alive on one.

By the end of the course, I felt much more confident riding while also realizing how much there is still to learn. I’ll definitely carry these lessons with me when I buy my first motorcycle. Watching an entire class go from having little or no riding experience to confidently completing the exercises by the second day was honestly impressive.

Huge thanks to all of the instructors for their patience and professionalism. This course was absolutely worth it, and I’d recommend it to anyone thinking about getting into motorcycling.“

“I had a great experience at Los Angeles Trucking College. I want to give a special thanks to Rossi, David, and Uriel for their outstanding support throughout the process. They were always patient, professional, and willing to answer every question I had without making me feel rushed.

They genuinely care about helping students succeed and made the entire experience much less stressful. Their guidance and encouragement gave me the confidence I needed, and I truly appreciate the time they took to help me.

If you’re looking for a CDL school with knowledgeable instructors and staff who treat you with respect, I highly recommend Los Angeles Trucking College. Thank you, Rossi, David, and Uriel, for your excellent service and dedication!“

“10/10 experience. I'm so grateful to have had Angel as my instructor. He was patient with me, made me feel comfortable, and helped me get rid of my fear of driving. He explained everything so well and answered all of my questions and thanks to his guidance and advice I passed my driving test on the first try with only 3 mistakes.“

“Where should I start! First and foremost I love the 1 on 1 classes offered. The instructor’s all are very patient ,chill and level headed. They make sure that you’re well knowledgeable on every inch of the truck. I passed on my first try, the air brake inspection is the most important test . I pick both inspectors brains and put each one of there styles along with mines into the airbrake inspection test making it easy and simple . I highly recommended this trucking school hands down .“

“Camino Real Truck Driving School was definitely an experience. I faced several obstacles along the way, but all the hard work and grind finally paid off. A huge thank you to the instructors and staff for helping me succeed. Johnny is tough, rules with an iron fist but I wouldn't ask for a better instructor than him he's an outstanding coach. Thanks to Fernando for helping me through situations that needed attention, and to Vanessa for always being helpful and answering any questions. Great team, great school, and I'm grateful for everything they did to help me earn my CDL.“

“Thanks for helping my son 🙏, You are a good teacher, highly recommend for 🚕“

“I had an outstanding experience at Edison Truck and Bus Driving School. My instructor was a former California DOT officer with extensive experience training not only aspiring commercial drivers but also Sheriff’s Department personnel and county workers, which speaks volumes about his expertise and professionalism.

The 320-hour program is comprehensive and hands-on, covering manual transmission tractor-trailers, Air Brakes → General Knowledge → Combination Vehicle → DMV Permit, in-cab inspections, pre-trip inspections, defensive driving, and all essential backing maneuvers. Training for endorsements such as Hazmat, Tanker, Doubles/Triples, and Passenger was thorough and practical, giving me a significant advantage in the industry. I also successfully completed the Class A manual/tractor-trailer test and Class B bus test at the DMV.

The school emphasizes safety, professionalism, and regulatory compliance, and the staff is always supportive and approachable. Thanks to Edison Truck and Bus Driving School, I feel confident, highly trained, and fully prepared to succeed as a professional driver.

I highly recommend this school to anyone serious about a CDL and a career in commercial driving.“

“Chris was an amazing driving instructor. He was super patient and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which really helped me feel more confident behind the wheel. He stayed calm even when I made mistakes and gave helpful tips that actually stuck with me. You can tell he really cares about his students improving and driving safely. Because of him, I feel way more comfortable driving now. I’d definitely recommend Chris to anyone learning how to drive.“

The owner was very accommodating with scheduling her behind the wheel lessons right away, since my daughters permit was about to expire. My daughter really her driving instructor. This place was the most Affordable training I found. The owner is an older Hispanic man. He was extremely nice and helpful. He gave great suggestions regarding getting an earlier appointment for behind the wheel test at the DMV.“

“THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TO GO TO!! Absolutely thrilled with my experience here and the E&M Driving school. From the moment I enrolled, I knew I was in great hands. Andy and Jeff were my instructors, were simply outstanding. Andy's calm demeanor and patience made me feel at ease behind the wheel. He explained everything clearly and never rushed me, ensuring I understood each concept fully. Jeff brought a wealth of experience and a friendly, encouraging attitude to every lesson. Both Andy and Jeff went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and were always punctual and professional. Thanks to their expert guidance, I passed my driving test with flying colors on the first attempt. I can't recommend this driving school enough, especially if you get the chance to learn from Andy and Jeff. They are truly the best in the business! TEN OUT OF TEN WOULD RECOMMEND TO ALL!!“
