Gateway Community & Technical College: Transportation Technology Center

"Kurt Glen and Tom are wonderful! very experienced great teachers I highly recommend going here if your willing to learn you will succeed"

"I just graduated from here with my class A CDL’s. Don’t get me wrong, you have to put in the work. But Tom, Glen, and Curt are some amazing people/instructors and will give you everything and more IF you’re willing to work and learn. They make a great “team” environment as well. I started out my first day not knowing anyone, and by the end of the the 4 weeks, my whole glass was cheering each other on, on test day. Great environment, energy, and knowledge from the teachers with YEARS of real life experience. Very grateful for their whole team and genuine willingness to teach! Thanks for everything! KING OF THE ROAD"

"I started my journey by calling the phone number listed with Google. A person said someone would call me with info. A week or so later A person called and told me the CDL course was roughly 4200 dollars. After giving it some thought my friend suggested asking about fianacial aid or maybe a grant. I called 3 different times and left messages with no avail I went to the 3 L highway location and got some information regarding aid. I checked into that I don't qualify for any. I saved my pennies and now have the money. I called the Google phone number today and the gal that answered the phone sounded like I woke her out of bed at 11am. I asked what I need as payment cash, card etc.. she said I needed to apply for the school first?? Out of the 4 reps I've talked to this is the first time anyone has mentioned application. Smh. Anyway I gave up at gateway. I Called their competition school and I've got a date next week. I also called Thomas massie today and told him the federal law requiring education certification to take CDL is unessacery and the schools are not organized to handle this process.. I'm asking my elected officials to recsind the the law requiring school to take test. Another governemt over reach in an already short staffed industry."

"Attending a free 5 week course where I will obtain many free certifications and anything “Free” is the best but this class has been a blessing! The instructor Paula is great! She always goes the extra mile weather it’s bringing a snack for everyone in class or helping students with transportation. You couldn’t ask for a better place to be!"

"I liked the hands on part, but I wish this was like the old fashioned community colleges where you do just hands on work and don’t have any paper work... it was very hard for someone with my learning disabilities to do very well in notes and homework that involved studying and doing a written test. That is where my downfall was. I did mostly very good on the hands on part of class but did very poorly on the written part of class. Overall I had a great experience but I just couldn’t deal with the book work..."
