  • 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

    After my first week of attending TTCC Hamilton (zoom class), I felt that this career was not for me until I had spoken to Jacquie (campus coordinator) and Melissa (admissions specialist) and they both convinced me that I should not give up on the course. After going back and forth, I had come to a conclusion that I would leave the... see more course. About a week later I decided I would return to the school to start my course again. After speaking with Jacquie many times, she believed in me and my abilities. She never gave up on me and she knew I could do it! I had started my truck training with my instructor, Brent. I told him I was a slow learner and I never drove a manual before. He totally understood. He also took the time to go over things with me many times, he was very patient and had a great sense of humour. By using the simulator it helps you understand how the truck operates. It really helped me out with shifting. I can’t say enough about this school. I love how the students work together. I highly recommend this school for anyone who is looking to obtain there AZ license. I was able to pass my road test in no time! Sending out a special thanks to my campus coordinator Jacquie, and my instructor, Brent. I’m so excited to start my new career! “The harder you work for something, the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it.”

    Jason Levy Avatar Jason L.

    A couple months ago I had never driven a manual transmission or anything bigger than a pickup truck. Now thanks to Jacquie and my trainer Brent I have an A-Z license. I encourage anyone looking to get their A-Z license to consider TTCC Hamilton.

  • Had a great experience at TTCC in hamilton. The in vehicle trainer was very knowledgable and provided excellent instruction. The office staff were also very responsive and helpful. Glad i went there.

    Mike Folland Avatar Mike F.

    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.

    Brinder Dhaliwal Avatar Brinder D.

    I finally got my license and feel really relieved. Special thanks to Jacquie for what you have done for me, that helps me a lot. I still remember the warm hug from Brent. Thank you guys a lot.

    Yifan Tang Avatar Yifan T.

    Kevin did 19 out of the 20 classes I did and he is an incredible instructor very on point with every instruction and helping you understand! Very easy to get on with and is willing to go the extra mile to help you in your classes!

    Big Thank you to Brent and Jackie (Hamilton, Ontario location) for all their help and support training me for my AZ liscense! I was so nervous and excited to make the change into trucking but together they made everything as smooth as possible. I had so much fun training with Brent. He always set the tone for a relaxed and... see more calm lesson easing my nerves. I'm sure he gained a few more stress hairs having to copilot next to me those first few days but I appreciate the faith and encouragement he always gave teaching me a lot along the way. Jackie is every students biggest supporter, she truly does want to see us all succeed. Her big happy smile and encouragement to pursue every option helped me get to where I am today. Within days I was into a full time position in an amazing company. My life has truly change for the best I couldn't have done this without either of them!!

    Shawn N and Jacquie in Hamilton were amazing. I'm so glad I chose this school over others. I took the Bronze Construction course. Way more knowledge taught than just the bare minimum to pass the MTO tests.

Sam from sudbury, excellent instructor and very funny. Rob from st. Catherines who is amazing at helping you retain all the information you need. Chris from Cambridge, super funny and made learning lots for fun.... see more Brent from hamilton is very knowledgeable. I also did my heavy equipment training, half in Cambridge with alex who was great to train with, and the other half in st cathrines with George. George was great to train with. He has over 40 years in the field and is so helpful and knowledgeable. All and all great experience from TTCC

    Jack Walsh Avatar Jack W.

    I did my AZ training here and was able to get my license thanks to the awesome instructors and most importantly the best campus coordinator Jacquie. I would highly recommend anyone interested in obtaining your AZ to enrol in this course.

    William Maczuszenko Avatar William M.

    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.
