Kevin is an outstanding instructor who truly cares about his students’ success. He’s patient, supportive, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. Kevin’s passion for teaching and his calm approach made learning both enjoyable and stress-free. I’m so grateful for his guidance and would recommend him to anyone looking to start a career... see more in trucking.
Hamilton TTCC was one of the best choices in terms of school. Not only was I able to learn manual from scratch, they took their time and made sure I understood everything properly. They weren’t teaching me just to pass the test but for me to have a good understanding of what the job requires and how I can drive... see more responsibly and professionally. Jacquie the Hamilton program coordinator helped me whenever she could. Always responded ASAP and even helped me book a test during covid times. Shawn White my instructor was diligent. Made me go from not knowing anything about mechanics and how to drive manual to acing my inspections and getting compliments from the examiners at the Drive test Centre in Hamilton. Brent came in towards the end of my time with the school but he was also very helpful as an instructor. Kept me composed and calm before my test and gave me some advice on how to pass. Overall I recommend this school. Make sure you are respectful when attending.
I had the best experience with this school, starting with their head office. They worked around my schedule as I had a full time job and it worked out perfectly. Jackie who was in charge of the Hamilton campus was so professional and helpful and gives the warmest welcome with a huge smile as soon as you step foot... see more on site. We did the virtual class portion of the program first and Instructor Rob was amazing, easy going and made sure that I understood everything he was saying-this makes a huge difference when English is not your first language! We then transitioned into driving where I met my instructor SHAWN WHITE - Stay away from him he's crazy! (Just kidding) but that's what I thought of him when he put me on a tractor trailer the first day and got me to drive on the road as his goal was to remove that fear we all first came with. I was so nervous and scared but his words to me from day 1 were, '' you are a professional driver.'' Shawn's positivity and motivation goes above and beyond! He had a lot of patience but pushed your limits and gave you 10000%. One day he came back to the school from another student's driving test, which he had aced (as all Shawn's students do) .....He was happier than the student himself ! He absolutely loves seeing his students succeed and that's when I knew I was in good hands. He treats you like family and I will forever be grateful. I cannot stress enough how worth it this school and the instructors are as I am now proud AZ license holder thanks to them. To Shawn: no matter how professional I get- I'll always be the student. I really could not have done it without you! So thank you and hats of to you and the other instructors at TTCC. To the new students reading the reviews- just do it! this is the perfect place to start your new career.
TTCC is a great way for new drivers that wanna learn and get good hand on experience for their license of any sort i had contacted Kendra, who was a great help in helping me find a campus near me. Jacquie and Brendan were great help on getting the air brakes and D experience I needed to pass my test... see more 10/10 recommended
Fantastic place to learn manual transmission for your AZ or DZ I did the course and passed my first try on AZ. Branden was a fantastic instructor! Patient and clear with his instructions.
TTCC was an amazing driving school. Because of Covid it took longer then it should have to complete my training but that was out of my control. I have never driven on a manual transmission before joining TTCC... with that being said i got my AZ license with ease thanks to the amazing trainers.. both of my trainers had 20+... see more years of experience which is what i was looking for. It is a very serious driving school and they make sure you can excel to the best of your abilities. The HR clerk at the Hamilton campus cares about you just as much as the trainers and will help you with ANYTHING you need to progress in your training and or career. if you've never driven manual before like i did and are scared to make the jump in learning i assure you this school will make the best driver out of you. thanks again for everything TTCC.
Had a wonderful experience training for my DZ license at TTCC's Hamilton campus. My instructor, Andrew, from TTCC London, was a very knowledgeable, patient trainer, with a great sense of humour (Bonus!). Jacquie, their office manager, was always very helpful. Well worth every penny!I I'd recommend them anytime. Brian Sutherland
great campus I did my az training here Shawn was a great trainer and Jackie is a awesome and well organized campus coordinator, any problems with scheduling she would make it work for your schedule.
Great school! They taught me everything I needed to know to get my ACZ license, the simulator helped alot. Really enjoyed my experience 🙂. Professional environment, everyone is friendly and helpful. Special thanks to my campus coordinator Jacquie, and my instructor Brent.
The Hamilton campus was an excellent experience. I learned so much with TTCC at the Hamilton campus. The learning environment and knowledge that was taught here was above and beyond what a student could ask for. So welcoming and rewarding, the staff (JACQUIE) and teachers (BRENT + others) made this all possible. Worth it so much to attend this school. Thanks to TTCC Hamilton... see more campus, I now have my ACZ license.
The st catharines campus has two excellent trainers , first Will was very patient and had great experience that he shared well with me as a student, his calm and easy going personality helped me learn and his ability to teach me the techniques i need to be successful was awesome , i would recommend too anyone who... see more wants to learn to drive a commercial vehicle and be safe and have the skills needed to be successful this is the guy . I would have liked to see better equipment to learn with hiway tractors were very old , but overall a great experience ,my thanks to Will
Hamilton Instructor Kevin, cares about his students and does everything he can to help them succeed, his efforts are greatly appreciated
Took my Schooling here and passed on my First go! TTCC is a great school and has great staff, one of the best experiences in my life and ready to start my new Career! Thank you Brent, Jacquie and Kyle!
Shawn White and Jacquie are both amazing after having 2 drive tests canceled they bent over backwards to make my 3rd test happen after I got a call from drive test at 6pm on a Friday night when the office was closed they both honestly want to see everyone succeed and will do what ever they can to make things... see more come together and keep you as calm as they can to make it happen thanks to both of you for helping me get a start at my new career I couldn't have done it without both of you
The practical training I received was very organized and confidence boosting. Bruce Agar was very knowledgeable & made sure I received the proper education.
I had the most amazing experience with ttcc Hamilton during my time with them. First of all, I would not have been able to successfully complete my course without the help of Jacquie! Due to the pandemic, there was a lot of uncertainty regarding where to go or even sign up, given that certain stages have moved to virtual learning.... see more Jacquie was there every step along the way to make sure I had everything that I needed. Someone that is starting their career may have a lot of angst, and getting their career started during this time only adds to the pressure. Jacquie has an exceptional interpersonal skillset that made the journey as easy as possible, where all I had to focus on was learning and the rest was taken care of. She was easy to reach, quick with replies and always went the extra mile to sort things out in case of an issue. A huge part of my success was the support that was offered to me and the family atmosphere of ttcc Hamilton. The instructors were also fantastic and know how to work with the individual and can accommodate to that person's style of learning. As someone who is not mechanically inclined, the instructors had a way of bringing the information down to a level that I could more easily digest which was crucial to my success. After my time with ttcc Hamilton it is my opinion that if you show up and bring your best effort you will find success. Definitely start your career here!
Edit/ Update 4/8/22: I was accepted this week into the NABET 700-M UNIFOR Transport department as a permit. I took the course at TTCC to further my career in the television and fIlm industry. WIth Jacquie and Brent's attentive help with course. I now have the position I wanted and achieved one of my life goals. Thank you so... see more much!!! The team at Hamilton TTCC was amazing. Definitely a great course to take your AZ, and DZ license training. Original review: Jaquie in the office and Brent the resident practical /driving instructor did everything possible to help attain my z endorsement and d class (manual shifting) license - which I was successful on the first attempts. The in class portion was very detailed and informative. There's an excellent driving simulator you can use at an unlimited capacity at the campus which I used often to practice manual shifting when not in the actual truck. - great value there The airbreak (z) endorsement they have efficiently broken down into simplified concise steps I found was very effective to help with memorization. I found other students were always more than happy and willing to help / partner up with for studying and encouragement. Above all it was a very positive learning environment. I very much had fun learning, coming to school, and definitely appreciated the people there. Thank you so much!
Michael was a great instructor, kept the atmosphere light. A lot of information was imparted to us and he kept it interesting. The Heo class with Gerry was also great and informative, really looking forward to starting practical.
