“I will highly recommend EZ Will! I was able to pass my behind the wheel test!! Mr. Ken was absolutely cool and patient with me. I truly appreciate his patience. So thank you!!“

“I completed three driving lessons with Alfred C., and I cannot recommend him highly enough! He is the most patient, kind, and encouraging instructor I've ever seen. I went from being an incredibly anxious driver that hadn't tried driving in years, to passing my driver's license test on my first try thanks to Alfred's guidance. Absolutely recommend other drivers looking to take their behind-the-wheel test to schedule with Alfred!!“

“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!“

“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 .“

“I had a great experience learning with Melissa Mercer, and I’m truly grateful for her guidance and support. I passed my DMV driving test on the first try, and her instruction played a big role in that success. Melissa is patient, encouraging, and very effective at helping students feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. She focuses on safety and prepares you well for real driving situations. Her teaching helped me stay calm and focused during my exam. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and professional driving instructor. Thank you so much, Melissa!!!“

“I passed my behind-the-wheel test on the first try after just 12 hours of practice! My instructor was kind, patient, and firm when correcting my mistakes, which really helped me build confidence and improve my driving. I highly recommend them to anyone, especially beginner drivers. Thank you for helping me pass!“

“Just passed my drivers test with Sarai as my instructor she’s literally the best and loved learning from her!“

“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.“

“Best driving school out there. Couldn't pass my test without them, they are strict but professional with the lessons. ?“

“The lesson is very well-structured, moves like clockwork and not only gets you very comfortable with all the basics, but ingrains it into you - you retain that knowledge with some muscle memory the way he teaches. The lessons are great, and I will definitely book again if I come back to LA!
Personal note that Ilyas is also a fantastic, generous human being, who waited with me for nearly 3 hours in the evening after the lesson to make sure I was safe -- as I waited for AAA to come after a mishap with my car keys. Highly recommend. Stellar lessons and stellar instructor.“

“Donna is such an amazing driving instructor. Before having lessons with her I had failed my driving test and was feeling pretty discouraged, but after having lessons with her my confidence completely changed. She’s so patient, calm, and easy to learn from, and she explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. Thanks to Donna, I passed my test and feel much more confident driving. I couldn’t recommend her more!“

“I passed my first drivers test with just 3 lessons with Jim. He is the best driving instructor ever! He is really funny and explains the rules of the road really well with his note pad and his drawings. He was also really patient with me. I will never forget the lessons he taught me. One of the best personalities, and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had! Thank you Jim!“

“The staff was why you would expect your professional respectful and they gave you coffee and donuts and make you laugh how do you recommend him?

“This is a hole in the wall place. My daughter already knew the basics to driving, and they were able to give great pointers, and train her for the behind the wheel exam. 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.“

“Braulio is the best instructor! He prepares you well for the tests and answers any questions you may have.“

“Avers driving classes were great for my 17 yr old daughter. We purchased the 9 hr package and the DMV driving test day and my daughter passed on her first try ! Their packages are far better than the AAA courses offered. I loved the convenience of having her picked up and the routes they practice on. Their customer service was attentive and they always responded my questions promptly !“

“After doing a long research, I decided to take driving lessons with them at the age of 32. Being from Brazil, I never really needed a divers license until moving to LA. The whole process went super smooth, from purchasing the packages to scheduling the lessons. They always had decent availability when I needed. Took 4 lessons with Paul and he was great!! I had little to no experience before that and these four classes (8 hours) made me feel confident enough to take my test. Would definitely recommend them.“
