Great experience taking my Class 1 course through Cameron. Instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful, as well as all of the staff up front helping me along the way.

Great instructors but the front office has some of the worst communication I've experienced in any department. I took 31 days for me to complete a Class 3 ten hour course and I'm sure it would have been longer if it wasn't for me texting or calling them once a day asking when my next session was. Maybe they're to busy but then they shouldn't take on so much to begin with. Having weekend sessions for students would help too. I would recommend coming here for training but don't expect to be in a hurry. And if you fail your road test a truck rental for your next test is $240. Add $155 for another

Awesome instructors with lots of industry experience. Front office staff needs better communication considering each few hours of class/road/yard class is $500. For the amount of money my group (10) paid they need to be better at scheduling. It took way too long to finish the class 1 Melt (14 weeks) with only being scheduled 2 hours a week for some weeks- you honestly forgot some of the new driving skills you learnt a week before when it was only 2 hours a week. Recommend getting your class one somewhere else.

Oh my God, I don't know how I can appreciate the instructors at Cameron driving school , they are owesame and they it all as they promised right from the beginning. I came here with out knowing the stick shift but they took their time to teach me till I got all I paid for. I never failed a single test till the end. My road test was perfect with 90%, I oy lost ten point where I stopped too Fer from the intersection and that was the only point I lost during my road test. I will recommend you take Cameron driving if you wants to become a class one driver. Your money will not go for a waste and they
