Fantastic driving school. All the instructors and staff here were amazing. Classes gave all the required information and they went out of their way to ensure I had a good understanding. The instructors here are all seasoned drivers and all provided valuable stories and tips on how to be successful as a Professional Driver. If you're looking to start driving a commercial vehicle, I cannot recommend a better place. Big thanks to everyone at OTTA. Read Less

I began working towards my AZ licence at Ontario Truck Training Academy in March of this year and completed the program on May 1st. Balancing work and school was challenging, but Matt was very accommodating, always finding ways to work around my schedule. I’m truly grateful to him and the entire team at OTTA. They were consistently patient, professional, and thorough in both their instruction and support. I’ve recommended this school to others in the past and will absolutely continue to do so. Read Less

I recently completed my training at Ontario Truck Training Academy and I cannot speak highly enough about my experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was met with a level of professionalism and dedication that is truly unmatched. The instructors at this academy are the heart and soul of the operation. Each one brings an incredible amount of passion and care to their teaching, ensuring that every student feels supported and prepared. Their expertise is evident in every lesson, and their commitment to our success goes above and beyond. They don't just teach you how to drive a truck; they instill a deep understanding of safety, responsibility, and confidence on the road. What sets Ontario Truck Training Academy apart is the personalized attention and encouragement from the instructors. They take the time to address individual learning styles and challenges, making sure that everyone grasps the material thoroughly. Their enthusiasm for the industry is contagious, and it’s clear they genuinely care about our future careers. The training program itself is comprehensive and well-structured, covering all aspects of truck driving in great detail. I highly recommend Ontario Truck Training Academy to anyone serious about pursuing a career in truck driving. The passion and care the instructors put into their work are truly remarkable and make all the difference in preparing us for a successful career t on the road. Chii-Miigwetch to everyone at OTTA!

I got my AZ Driver License after two months of classes in this school with Excellents Instructors and Better Human Beings. I enjoyed every class and learned from nothing to pass the Oshawa road test in the first attempt. Thank you very much to everyone in the school for the job they do always. Read Less

I was a student for CZ there. Passed my Z, and had 4 lessons on the bus before my road test. I did before lessons on the bus so driving wasn't the issue, and I was told my circle check is great. On the day of the road test I find out - I wasn't taught and wasn't practicing checking underneath the hood and some other important things. Also the head instructor said you shouldn't come to a complete stop on gated rail crossing, which is BS, and I was lucky someone told me I need to on the day of the road test!!! REALLY GUYS?! Needless to say - I didn't pass the road test, but not because I couldn't drive, I passed that part but was failed on those things I was never taught of! When I confront the CEO, she claim I should have read the MTO truck book. WELL - IF I WANTED TO DO IT ALL ALONE I WOULDN'T PAY 1,000$ (that's exclude the air brake) FOR YOU GUYS TO TRAIN ME! I WOULD JUST DO IT MYSELF! I was very impressed at first, very disappointed later. Do your license some place else! Read Less

Went to OTTA for the AZ licence course. I did the accelerated program and have absolutely nothing negative to say about this truck drivers training academy. All of the instructors are VERY well trained and all have many years of truck driving experience. They do an excellent job of demonstrating and then teaching and then encouraging each and every person that applies for their courses. I would like to personally thank Rob, Stacy, Derrick, Kelly and John for continuously talking me through this course. They all have different teaching methods and that is what made it perfect. Not too much of the same thing over and over. I will/would recommend OTTA to ANYONE who wants to do any kind of truck or bus licence. Bruce Whyte Read Less

Ladies & Gentlemen, re: Commercial Driver Training AZ - AR - BZ - CZ - DZ - Z Should you be following Schooling/Training/Upgrading up to Class D, or Class A (and/or Air Brake Endorsement-Z), I urge you to contact Yvette @ the OTTA-Oshawa (Head Office) to create your future path in the transportation / logistics sector. I had attended the full AZ program with huge success, having been Laid-Off a few months earlier from a warehouse in Mississauga, and completed the course 'As Stated, As Advertised on their website) Graduated - Class of 2016. 2x Job Offers within 4 days! (and hundreds to choose from) I highly recommend this location {Oshawa, ON} (and the other 3.. Brampton, ON -- Peterborough, ON - Lindsay, ON) for the highest quality, and therefore 'most employable' results. The Institution is top-notch. The highest level of Instructors {most with 20+ yrs), the most pieces of equipment {traditional, cabover, lowboys, weight added trailers etc), the most busses if you are going that route, and straight trucks. OTTA is also aligned with all the Provincial & National trucking organizations, Safety Organizations, Training Organizations etc. The website doesn't lie. Oh! and 2x sit-in Road Simulators (basic and advanced). That was fun. I had extreme hills & rough weather added to my lessons. Very professional, fully licenced and it's where the best company send their Drivers, when they need upgrades & re-training. Don't you want to be at THAT academy? If you are spending your money (or the government's money, or both), please get the best education for yourself, as you don't want to end up @ OTTA to do 'refresher/upgrade' classes because you chose poorly. My Physician said to me... "Oh, the OTTA... Yes, that's the Harvard-of-Truck Training, you are in very good hands" --- and he was right! Be the safest, most coordinated Driver out there, PLEASE. I'm out here too. Bruce H. Ajax, ON Summer 2016 Read Less
