Fantastic experience: I just want to thank J.D, Dan, Larry, Bruce, Jacob , Shannon and Tammy for the amazing experience and training! I also want to thank Chuck for the heavy equipment training also. I couldn’t have done this without them. I would definitely recommend this school forget the other ones! Lol

Fantastic experience: Took the Z endorsement course in Ottawa. Had Ken as an instructor. He was a great teacher and made sure we were prepared and ready for testing on the final day.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time at TTCC, I really enjoyed training with Chuck at the pit and Dane, JD and Jacob while truckin. Good luck to future trainees.

Negative experience: Please avoid TTCC if you are looking for training from a professional company. Trying to get my DZ auto license has been nothing but a nightmare. My issues began when I started my first training. I went for a double session and the truck I was to be driving the next day was in the shop (nobody informed me of this). Therefore I had zero experience driving and could not do the test. After getting the test rebooked and another driving lesson to get practice driving, I went to the drive test centre and the wrong test had been booked by TTCC. After completing my Z portion and being unsuccessful with the D, I was finally able to get another test booked. However when I arrived to do the test this time, after paying a $350 truck rental fee, the truck I was supposed to drive had no working brake lights - and again nobody informed me. After that I have been trying to get money back for this horrible experience I have had and have heard nothing. I have reached out to Tammy June multiple times and was assured my emails were being forwarded to someone who can help me, but have heard nothing. I live an hour away from the training site and drive test centre. With the driving I have done, days off of work, my personal time and gas, and the cost of the course, I have spent thousands at this point and have little to show for it. This was a horrible experience with this unprofessional, disorganized company. I would advise anyone looking to book with them to go elsewhere, the unprofessional nature of this company needs to be known. Please save your money and find somewhere else.

Hello Hunter, Our DZ Automatic course is a fantastic way to get your DZ license, without needing to spend the additional time learning a manual transmission, ideally for snow plow, waste management and firetrucks. I have reviewed your file, and although your physical location in comparison to our Campus is beyond our control, as well as the cancellation your road tests due to severe weather conditions, I do see we offered you 3 additional hours of training on us, and a refund for the costs associated with your road test. We're still rooting for you - when you're ready to re-test, please contact your Campus Coordinator. All the best!

Hello Roy, We can understand some of your frustrations, however due to very serious unfortunate circumstances, your instructor has passed away. He was a critical part of our TTCC team, and their passing has affected all of us deeply. Despite the tragic loss and impact this has made on us both personally and as a company, we have attempted to work with you to complete the remainder of you training but have been unsuccessful due to your limited availability. We have made additional efforts to contact you but have been unable to reach you. When you are ready to wrap the final portion of your training with us, feel free to contact your Campus Coordinator at 1-800-805-0662.

Negative experience: Terrible Experience - Avoid This School at All Costs! I had the absolute worst experience at this trucking school. From the start, everything seemed unorganized, but I tried to stay optimistic. However, things only got worse. After completing all the training, I was forced to wait several days—nearly a week—just to take my final test. This ridiculous delay wasted my time and money, leaving me in a limbo that was beyond frustrating. The lack of communication and respect for students’ time is appalling. It’s clear that they don’t care about their students or helping them succeed. Do yourself a favor and find a more professional and efficient school that values its students. This place is a nightmare!

Negative experience: I’m giving a 1 star review only because I cannot give a zero. And I haven’t even attended the school yet!! Through Better Jobs Ontario, I decided to register with TTCC in Ottawa west, as this is the closest location to where I live. I contacted Victoria to get started. She provided very little information right from the get-go and offered no support or guidance throughout the registration process. I had to email her multiple times to get responses to simple questions. I made sure to have my medical done and submitted to her ahead of time, should there be any hiccups it could be resolved before my start date. 3 DAYS before I was set to start, she decided to look at my medical and saw check marks and told me I could not register until my medical went to review OR I could go to Drivetest and try and prepay for my AZ written. She told me it didn’t matter if I passed or failed (it matters to me as it’s MY money to pay for the test). Obviously I couldn’t prepay because my medical needed to go to review. So I was unable to start my program on the date I was supposed to. Not to mention, I asked at least 5 times if she could give me the course outline and hours so that I could arrange childcare for my daughter. Anyone who has children knows how difficult it is to secure childcare. She would not give me even a sliver of information on this until I was completely registered. So this left me panicking with 3 days to secure childcare before my anticipated start date! LUCKILY I wasn’t able to start anyway due to neglect on her part! Fast forward to a month later, medical has been reviewed and accepted. Thinking I am set to start, I contact Victoria once again and we set a program start date. She sends acceptance letter and it’s now 2 weeks longer than originally stated on their website AS WELL as my original acceptance letter from a month prior. This affects your weekly living expenses through BJO and this change made it so I will be unable to pay my bills with what will be alotted. This 2 week extension took off over $100 per week that I was expected to get. When contacted about this, Victoria tells me that their program lengths are VARIABLE and can be 12 weeks minimum, up to 14 weeks maximum, and that Better Jobs Ontario is aware of this and works with this situation all the time…I call bull on that one. Never have I EVER heard of a variable program length at ANY school of higher education (or private career college). EVEN IF this was something that actually exists, I know BJO would not accept this as they have strict funding guidelines that are set in place well ahead of time. There is zero wiggle room with BJO. End stop. My worker told me that he is unsure why there would be an extra 2 weeks added to the program out of nowhere- thus proving my theory that BJO DOES NOT deal with these kind of fly-by-night changes. There is so much more I could include in this review it’s insane, but I am tired, and frustrated and done spilling my guts about my experience with this school. I am looking into Crossroads in Smith's Falls as of now and I will make sure to tell everyone to steer clear of this school. Victoria needs to be fired for her bare minimum assistance, the lies she told me multiple times about (again- seems to be a recurring theme here!) the servers being down, not returning emails/ phone calls, etc etc etc. if she is the face of this company, it’s a wonder they even have students attending! She is just awful. TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!

Hi Chris, One of the many benefits of training with TTCC is that we have many course options that you can chose from a variety of packages that will suit your needs and help you meet your career goals. Whether your goal is to work as a long-haul driver, a regional driver or be home every night. Maybe you want a licence for standard trucks or an automatic truck - We have training programs that will help you achieve those goals. Many of our students using the Better Jobs Ontario Program choose to take Heavy Equipment Training with the AZ course to open up new possibilities. Victoria was correct, depending on the path you take will change the length of the program. I had a look through your correspondence with Victoria and she was more than professional and did a great job reviewing the different options with you; discussing the required perquisites including the medical. She is here to assist all students through the registration process. It was even noted on your account the efforts she made to get in touch with you on her personal cell phone during a Province -Wide system outage that TTCC and many other businesses experienced. Victoria is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for all of our students at TTCC. She’s extremely savvy at helping prospective students apply for government grants so they can train at little to no cost and she has a near perfect record when it comes to helping our graduates secure high paying careers. Students who choose TTCC as their training provider do so because they recognize the value of one-on-one training and they want to train on a large variety of equipment. Transport Training Centre students are also some of the safest of the road because they have participated at Canada’s Only Skid School for commercial trucks. If this is not the type of high-quality training you are looking for, then it is best you attend another school.

Negative experience: Don’t waste your time and money with this place there a SCAM! A course should take less than two weeks took months(class time and truck time). Let alone all the lack of communication and scheduling. Online the course says 2 trucks day I got my contract that said 1 day 6 hours showed up to this day and my instructor was a WHOLE HOUR LATE! And then…… I was told to leave early because TTCC double booked him!!!! So I only got 4 hours of training then the next day BAM…. I’m at the Drive Test Center to do my test! Of course I failed because who can remember everything in a whole 4 hours. And let again such a waste of time to deal with these people. They can’t even answer or reply Better Business Bureau because they know there in the wrong. Hopefully when my lawyer finishes putting this case together something will be done with is place. Clearly I should have looked at the reviews before I chose this place. So horrible.

Transport Training Centres of Canada | Ottawa
Transport Training Centres of Canada | Ottawa

Hello Danielle, according to our records, you had changed your course from AZ to DZ Standard mid program, and then for a third time, decided to take our DZ Automatic program instead. It does also appear that your course start date was also delayed as we had not received all the required enrollment documents from you. As these courses do have different start dates, and you had changed your learning path multiple times, duration length from the multiple changes to your course path would inevitably cause delays in the initial turn around time you had expected. We’re more than happy to work with our students to ensure they are successful in the course they choose. Your initial course included unlimited use of our state-of-the art simulator, to master the art of shifting, backing and other aspects of driving that would typically eat away at your in-truck training otherwise. We offer unlimited yard time to our students, and additional training is always available for our students to add should they feel they need it. Unfortunately, you had chose to withdrawal from the program despite the additional recourses available to you. Wishing you all the best with wherever the road takes you next.

Fantastic experience: Did My Z endorsement air brakes course here. I had Keith as an instructor for the air brake course. He was pretty thorough with the course material and made sure everyone understood and didn’t rush through it. He is very knowledgable about trucking and the trucking industry. I have seen some of the other reviews for TTCC. I didn’t have any problems. I was in contact with Victoria to sign up for the course and had no issue

Negative experience: Please don’t waste your time and money here. They never taught me backing into cones for my AZ. They provided me defective truck during my road test. You will be set up for failure not success. If your are funded by better jobs. Please don’t loose your last chance with this school. I have been stuck to get my license from last six months. Sent them multiple email and calls no reply. My worst decision of life to go to this school. Please save your money and time.

Hello Dheeraj, We see you enrolled in our Construction Silver Program that includes both heavy equipment and AZ. This is a great choice for individuals that want to juice up their resume with a diverse set of skills and truly stand out against other applicants in the industry. This course includes our Unlimited Road Test Guarantee - meaning in the rare event a student is unsuccessful during their first road test, the truck is available to you at no additional costs as many times as you need to pass. You received the same backing training as all of our other successful students. As our commitment to you as a student, we have continued to work with you on a success plan to provide additional free training, including alternative methods to help improve the areas you continued to struggle in. We are always open to other suggestions on how we can help you improve during your training journey. When you are ready to take advantage of this additional training and would like to re-test, please give us a call. Wish you nothing but success, Dheeraj.

Negative experience: Save your money and go somewhere else! A 3 week course has turned into a 4+ month course. Once they have your money they will stop booking training hours or tests and will be impossible to get in contact with. As for the response from the company, obviously my registered name in the course is not 2 letters and I have called this number multiple times a week and have asked for a refund and every time I am told my message will be forwarded and assured my hours and test will be booked. I paid for the most expensive package they have to offer and still waiting for remaining training hours and test to be booked with nothing on the schedule for weeks.

Fantastic experience: I was trained by TTCC/Ottawa and had Jakob Paquette as my trainer on the Airbrake system. He set a tone for a relax and calm lesson and was willing to go extra mile to try and get you to understand the lesson. Couldn't have asked for a better trainer.

Fantastic experience: My Air brake course with Instructor Jakob was amazing! It was a 2 day course where I learned a lot of useful stuff. The instructor's experience in the field made the learning process very smooth!

J I 1 year ago

Negative experience: Do not waste your money!!! Went here for my DZ and it was a horrible experience. I worked with 2 different instructors Ahktar and Hardeep and they both gave different advice on certain Trucking questions I had and barely spoke English which made it more difficult to learn. While driving the DZ truck during training the instructor was on his phone the entire 4 hours talking on a headset not paying attention. He let me drive the truck wherever I wanted, he even got me to stop at Tim hortons lol. We never did the actual route you take on your test day. During the test day at drive test out of 6 students only 1 passed the other 5 failed. Even one of their own instructors (the only competent one Mike) wanted us to email head office and complain about the way the other two instructors were teaching us. They do not prepare you properly at all so expect to fail with TTCC! Head office never answers calls so be prepared to send over 20 emails before getting a reply. If you want to learn trucking properly go to Crossroads trucking academy they provide the Z endorsement in house and the instructor’s are 10x better than TTCC. I successfully got my DZ with crossroads on my first attempt as did all the other students! That says a lot about the success rate at TTCC it’s not good..Save your money! This is a real review not like the other ones below.

Negative experience: Finished gold course first week of Oct 2023. Been calling and emailing since asking for my certifications. Nobody seems to be able to give me an answer and rarely gets back to me. Now Jan 2024 still don’t have certifications and feel like I’m being jerked around and pissed. They were running 2 schedules and were constantly double booking machines and I would get bumped to machines i wasn’t scheduled on. Then told me I missed 30 hrs but was over booked 26. Course was a mess all the way through and should of saved my money.

Our world needs people like you. i love you I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact you've had on my life.

Thank you for believing in giving me an unbelievable experience, even when I doubted myself. Your guidance has not only helped me excel academically but has also instilled in me the belief that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. You have touched my heart in ways words in not just being a driver can not fully express. I am forever grateful for the lessons you've taught me in the life express(being in humanity). Thank you, dear teacher, Hardeep Hardeep, for being my guiding light. Thank you for being considerate ❤️ I appreciate ❤️ God bless you Hardeep.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic time getting my Az. I had Terry from Ottawa west, and I don't think I could have had a better instructor. He was very patient and supportive during the learning process. He really ensured I was following the procedures properly. From coupling and uncoupling to checking the oil level. Everything we did together he made sure I fully understood. The only criticism I would have about the school is the organization. I felt like the schedules for published a bit late. And my drive test was delayed due to truck maintenance not being done on time. Overall a great experience. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an az/dz licence.

Fantastic experience: I got my AZ licence today October 31st, 2023 at Walkley Ottawa drive test center on my first attempt.

I would also like to accord especial thanks and gratitude to my trainer HARDEEP BHELE for the unwavering support and encouragement throughout the training period. Thanks for being supportive throughout the journey. I will not hesitate to recommend anyone that is seeking to become a truck driver training.

Positive experience: My instructor Terry Smith in the Ottawa west yard was the best I could ever ask for! Lots of great stories and examples to share while learning to drive a large truck. Terry and I had some great times while also learning lots on the road and in the yard. Terry is very calm and understanding and is a very good teacher. Overall a good school could use some work on organization of schedules and training their employees to use the new technology and tools provided to them.

Louis 142000 2 years ago

Negative experience: Pure garbage. I regret using this school, and their reviews are fake... I will NEVER recommend this school to anyone. I'll only strongly tell everyone to NOT go here and tell them about his horrible experience. Plus, ill tell you why their reviews are fake. First off, the reason I used this place was because they said they had a school in carp. LIE. Then they said it was a 3-day course, PLUS in their contract it says estimated completion date. 3 days long LOL it took me over 2 months. What a joke. So when it came time to get my money they were GREAT, they were quick to answer and very friendly. My Z endorsement was a joke. It was a 3-hour course in reality with videos in black in white, on zoom. I learn a couple of things, but nothing I couldn't have looked up on Google within a couple of minutes. Either way, it was done, and I figured the rest was going to be OK. Boy was I wrong. It took me 2 weeks!!! To get a hold of Melissa. (The receptionist in Ottawa). BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE AN OTTAWA WEST LIKE ADVERTISED SO ILL CALL IT OTTAWA, I called almost on a daily basis to book the driving portion of my test and because no one was answering my messages. I'd call and get told that she would call me back the same day and if not, I was to call them back. So I did. After 2 weeks of this, I got pissed and went to the school. This is when I went to their address for their "west" Ottawa location, but it didn't exist. So I went to the East location where I meet the wonderful Melisa. And she told me her first lie. When I walked in, she was on the phone chatting with another co-worker, they were trying to get more students to pay. I'm not sure about anyone reading this, but don't you think that you should take care of students in the course already, especially if theirs a 2-month waiting list??? But no, let's get more people in and lie to them to make money. I'm sure this place will last, LOL. This is when she told me that their servers were down, and she couldn't book me, But one of the instructors came in and told her took prioritized AZ drivers first. Lol, It's an old Old OLD trick to say, our servers are down. Like seriously, plus the guy came in and told her to book other people. So she told me she'd contact me when she's ready After another week of waiting, I restarted trying to call and it was the same story. So at one point i asked the Customer service person if this was normal, and she said "sadly it's very common" BOOM, that where all the fake reviews come in. So I asked the same lady if I should just start showing up to the school, and she did. But it was the same story a week and a half later, SERVERS ARE DOWN, LOL. What a joke. SO after a month of this, I went in again, and she told me 3 date that my classes would be on. So I waited another week for those dates, and I was expecting a confirmation email or something, but I didn't get anything. So I went to it AGAIN, and she lied AGAIN and told me she never told me those dates. THE NEXT DAY I got an email with dates at the start of June. Keep in mind, I paid for the course on April 19th. In the contract, it says Estimated completion date April 23rd. Their website is a lie, advertisement is a lie, when you call them they have a message telling us that we can do this all online, but that's also a lie, their request information button also doesn't work, the people who work there lie. I'm not done with this horrible experience... So finial I'm with an instructor and like everything else they failed to tell me that this is a 3-day course, (3 very separate days) with only about 2.5 hours of practice each, adding up to 7 hours. Again, that was complete new to me. So the instructor was good, but every time was a new guy that I could understand less and less because of their accents. Plus, each guy would tell me what the other guy was teaching me was wrong, or they were missing a bunch of stuff. This story doesn't end, there's a lot more, but I don't have enough space, PLEASE FIRE MELISA SHE'S SO LAZY AND NEVER IN. DO NOT GO HERE, YOU WILL REGRET IT. STUDENT WILL AGREE

Negative experience: If I had listened to some advice given to me, I wouldn't have fallen into the hands of this fraudulent TTCC, a place where only one individual is the only person that manages everything and if she's not in the office you are ruined. I regret ever committing my money, so before you go there for any training, think twice and don't fall for their fraud.

Fantastic experience: Dear TTCC Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the assistance you provided me during my DZ course here in Ottawa, Ontario. Terry Smith was an exceptional instructor, and his guidance and support were invaluable to me throughout the course. Although I was disappointed that I only received my Z license and have to redo my D course, I am overall very happy with the quality of instruction and service provided by your company. Your dedication to ensuring that each student receives the highest level of training and support is truly commendable. Thank you once again for your commitment to excellence and for helping me to achieve my goals. I look forward to continuing my training with your company and to becoming a more skilled and confident driver. Sincerely, Cole Trudeau

Positive experience: I just want to thank the staff of TTCC Ottawa for a really good AZ training course. Melissa was super kind and helpful from the day I registered. Dane, Mike and Jeff were really knowledgeable and helpful instructors. Jeff was particularly good. He was always encouraging, very patient and had a relaxed demeanor that made the training enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the way he taught and explain things, in such a detailed and logical manner, that it really made sense to me. Great job TTCC Ottawa! I would recommend their AZ training course.

Fantastic experience: On behalf of my husband. He was very thankful he reached out to ttcc.ca for reviewing his z (air brakes) licence. He knew his stuff but to pass a test not so confident.

Charles Dreadful 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The on-line training course was very informative and helped prepare me for the practical driving hours. Having both AZ & DZ students attending, the trainer was patient and efficient with over 40 students from three different provinces. Driving instructors greatly emphasized the air brake testing methods which are essential for acquiring a Z endorsement. Inspections of the trucks were done before & time permitting,after each training trip. If you're looking for a commercial driver's license, TTCC will help you all the way.

I was a female coming into a world that I had little understanding of, with their help and a lot of practising I completed my goal! Thank you guys again, was so much fun learning from you guys!!!

Derek Reid 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I know that you're supposed to save the best for last! But I am choosing to do the opposite! Jeff Flack! You are an absolutely amazing instructor, you taught in a fashion that made it much easier to grasp! Without you, I would not have passed my ministry test on the first attempt! You focused your efforts on what needed the most work, and the results were clear! Next I would like to thank Jake, he got me started on all the fundamentals, and paved the road that lead to my success with Jeff! Your efforts are appreciated! I would also like to thank Dane, you were able to make the online portion as enjoyable as possible! To the two lovely ladies in the office, Melissa and Shannon, your efforts also won't go unnoticed! You ladies work tirelessly to make the schedules work for everyone! And that is no easy task! Your encouragement throughout this experience, was greatly appreciated! Lastly, I would like to speak about the trucks, I almost made the decision to go to a different school, based on the appearance of the trucks, please don't let this fool you! The trucks are just a tool, the training is what matters most! Not everything that glitters, is gold! Thank you all for everything! Derek

Sam Bruce 3 years ago

Positive experience: Great place to train. Jeff Flack was my instructor and his no nonsense training style was just what I needed. He's been teaching a long time and really knows what you need to learn for the test, and for the real world wince you're on the road. Melissa and Shannon in the Ottawa office were great, bending over backwards to make my single dad schedule work and got me done in time. My only reason for 4/5 stars is that they are a very busy training centre, and the passing of schedule changes and information is sometimes delayed. But they do exceptionally well for all they have to deal with. Highly recommended

I mostly trained with Jeff, someone who's passionate about his work, knows his stuff and made it look too easy! He made sure I was more than prepared for my tests! Even with his loaded schedule, he was always at his best! Even got to see Dane one day, my online class instructor, who made the online side just a breeze. Very knowledgeable man who cares about the trade! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about this school. All my instructors were great! They all did a great job in overall preparedness for the ministry test but what really stands out is that they found individual issues that occurred on the driving side and took me to a spot to work on those issues (friction point, gear revcovery etc) to make sure I got it. Thank you Jakob, Jeff, Abdelghani, Dan and Michael for setting me on the path to success for my future in truck driving! Also thanks to Melissa and Cassandra for accommodating me around my schedule and answering my many questions!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this driving school. Excellent and very approachable staff, But the star of the show is the driving instructor Mr. Jakob Paquette. Very effective teaching strategy and through the roof enthusiasm. He will not only teach you to pass your driving test but to be a good driver. He gives different driving techniques and at the end of your course you will feel your confidence on the road, checking of mirrors and speed will become natural to you, he doesn't blame you if you did wrong instead he motivates you and lifts your spirit. Thanks Jakob.

Tyler Coons 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my experience overall with TTCC. Office staff was helpful especially while dealing with my pain in the *** scheduling. Jeff is an amazing instructor, He really cares about individual students and tailers his training to each person's strengths and weaknesses. He has trained myself and another co- worker, and both of us are very happy. If you if you go in with an open attitude and work with him, you will leave with a liscence. That simple. Thanks TTCC!

Negative experience: Wow!!! I really wish I had read more comments about this school beforehand....total scam they charged me almost 3 grand for this "3 week course" when I finally got to the in-truck portion of the course the instructor they gave me was so unstable I had to ask for a new one. Because of that I got to miss out on a while week of training and then they tried to rich it all by making me train for 9 hours in a day. I still need to try the test again and they told me to let them handle it so I wouldn't have to pay again. Then they didn't talk to for almost a month maybe more and now they want me to pay for my test again....trash school.

Our 3 week DZ course is designed to make sure our students are job ready. This course includes 1 week of classroom training and 2 weeks of one on one in truck training. All of the training is completed on a standard transmission. With this program you also receive unlimited shifting practice on our state of the art truck simulator, free off- road dump truck training and the common core surface miner certificate. As with any of our training programs you also get our road test guarantee, we will provide you with unlimited use of our truck and trainer for as many road tests as you need at no cost! You did not pay $3000 for the training. You like many students took advantage of the Essential Worker Training Grant offered exclusively to TTCC students. Students can receive grants ranging from $1000-$5000. We did not “get rich” from training you.

Hi there, We have had a higher than usual call volume lately, everyone is looking for a training course to become an essential worker. Our courses go beyond the minimum licensing standards, you can be trained and ready for a high-paying, in-demand career in as little as 6 weeks. You may even qualify to train at little to no cost. Opening our doors to the general public encourages people to violate the current “stay at home” order. While our training program is deemed essential and we are fully operational, no training school should be letting people walk in off the street to gather information. We can schedule an appointment at a convenient time for you and we will call you directly. Email us at [email protected] to set that up.

James Powell 4 years ago

Negative experience: Absolutely ridiculous “6 week course” been here since March 1st and I’m only half way through the in truck, very poor organization, I’ve had 6 different instructors, and only 3 days a week in truck at 3hours, I do not recommend this school at all huge mistake choosing to go here also multiple times instructors not showing up and showing up late, The only good thing I can say is Rob from Cambridge and Brent from Peterborough were very good instructors, James Ottawa Campus

Transport Training Centres of Canada | Ottawa
Transport Training Centres of Canada | Ottawa

Hi James, As you know some of our trainers in Ottawa were impacted by COVID, but we were able to dispatch trainers from our other campuses whom were not affected. Not many other training providers (if any at all) would have been able to call on trainers from Peterborough and Cambridge to make sure that you trained 3 days a week, most other schools would have shut down completely. Having the opportunity to train with different instructors is one of the many advantages of choosing TTCC. We have the best trainers, delivering the best program in the country. All of our trainers have a wealth of experience to share with our students. We remain confident that you will be successful on your upcoming road test. We are so confident, that you will be backed by our road test guarantee. If for any reason you do not pass your road test we will provide you with unlimited use of our truck and our trainer for any additional road tests at no cost. No other schools will do that, they will charge extra if you fail.

Mike Clairoux 4 years ago

Negative experience: Its a joke that you pay the exorbitant price that this school requests and still they teach you with material that is full or typos; measurements and values that your supposed to remember. The teacher correts them as he goes but sometimes forgets untill someone asks! Another thing, with Covid, classes are virtual and with lots of LAG, TTCC cannot provide speedy internet to their instructors and students suffer at the end. BEWARE! You don't have my real name because i would like to stay like that. I just finished classes with Dane , he made many appolgies about the laggy internet and while the typo was NOT on the book but on the class material that he passes around, ask anyone that just graduated. Or i can add pictures if you would like!

Hi Mike, we can't seem to find your name in our database, and have no record of you ever taking a class with us. We have been teaching virtual for a year now, with over 1000 students and have had no issues with internet lag. Our textbook is from a prestigious publisher in the field and we have yet to identify any spelling errors. If you would like to reach out, we’d be more than happy to help clarify any concerns you have. Edit to address your edit: It sounds like you just completed the classroom portion without any practical training completed. If you're not sastified with the quality of the course, please reach out. We'll gladly refund you.

Negative experience: Its day two of in class and i deeply regret taking the course. It takes hours to review 30 simple and very basic questions. I wouldnt recommend this course because its just pathetic

Transport Training Centres of Canada | Ottawa
Transport Training Centres of Canada | Ottawa

Hi Nathan, Our classroom curriculum is an industry recognized, well- designed program that gives you the knowledge and background necessary to operate equipment . A small part of the training does include some mind-numbing, ministry enforced safety training, like the Common Core Surface Miner. In truth, that part of the course can be pretty dry but it has to be delivered the way the ministry wants it done and it does lead to wallet cards that are critical for your future employment. Fortunately, it is just a very small part of an otherwise great classroom experience. I am sure that once you get past the theory you are going to love operating the heavy machinery at our live work site. You will be operating in all different types of aggregates and getting the best hands -on training experience in the Country! Operators aren’t made in the classroom, they are made at the work site.

Fantastic experience: They are patient with me even tho I'm not the easiest person to teach because I dont learn like normal people and have lots of anxiety. I have progressed alot but it's taking me longer than normal people to learn and they are still patient and go out of their way to help accommodate their students. They are friendly and I learned a lot from the trainers there.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend going here I learned a lot and the trainer's I had for in class and in cab were great very knowledgeable fun to be around and have a great way to teach you what you need to know and how to do what you need to do to pick up things as quickly as possible and retain it. And their administrative staff is very helpful and super friendly always willing to help .... Thanks for everything!!

Fantastic experience: Transport Training Centres Of Canada is one of the BEST TRANSPORT TRAINING Schools in Canada. I went to the school in Ottawa where I received a very good training that allowed me to pass my tests and obtain my ACZ licence. This is a School where People DO CARE about students. With Transport Training Centres of Canada, you don't just get a licence, but you get the skills you need for a successful professional career. I am not trying to advertise TTCC ... the success of every single student can testify about the school.
