Fantastic experience: Recently graduated from here Jim Campbell and his crew are the most professional hardworking people I have ever met! Not only do they teach you about trucking they also go above and beyond to Make you the safest driver you could possibly be and lead you onto a career that is full of success. Trust all of the instructors as they have countless years of experience and only want the best for you! If you have a bad day you can always go talk to Jim in his office! Thanks guys for teaching me everything I needed to know and even more! Highly recommended FCTC, best school ever!

Fantastic experience: Best school in the industry by far extremely professional, courteous, friendly, and worth the money .not only that you’re not having to pay for damages or buying new cones to replace after backing over them like some other schools have you sign documents for damages. recommend going here before any other schools. These guys know what they’re doing.

Fantastic experience: Most RV 5th wheel owners don't realize they don't have the correct driver's license they need a class 3 for any trailer over 10k. I found First Class to be 1st class ...... passes test.on the 1st try. Even the MB examiner commented that she knew I was from FC because how I was taught....... thanks FC.

Negative experience: 4/10 students passed in my class. the curriculum is based out of the USA. instructors where very rude to the point one student dropped out and several others had to talk to the owner. when a student would fail his instructor would ask what happen then immediately out the blame back on the student even if he failed for something he was not to properly. first class training center will push you threw the training and test you weather your ready or not, one you have failed they are more then will to give you extra help at an extra cost. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS TRAINING CENTER EVEN IF YOUR BEING FUNDENDED!

Fantastic experience: First Class Training Centre is truly first class, if you are seeking a career with class 1 I strongly suggest this company, you will not be disappointed. They don't just produce drivers, they produce professional drivers. I'd like to thank FCTC for helping me achieve this goal. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I took the 6 week Class 1 course and passed first try, along with all other 8 students in our class within the 2 attempts provided , the first 11 days of classroom is tough to get through but totally worth it when you get in the truck! Jim the owner is a great guy, if you have anything you ever want to get off your chest hes a man you can talk to.. also Joel the driver instructor was the a huge reason i passed the course and i couldn't say enough good things about him, if you have the chance I would request him! .. I would recommend anyone looking for a driving school to attend here.

Negative experience: I took the full time Class 1 program which was 6 weeks in duration. It sounds like lots of time to learn what you need but it’s not. During the weeks prior to my road test more than half of the time was spent doing theory, practicing pre-trip/airbrake inspections and watching my partner drive, it didn’t leave much driving time. The course consisted of one day in class and then one day of driving. I found the interruption in focus counterproductive. Just as I was getting used to the feel of the clutch, gear shifting and driving I would be back in class the following day. I was alternated between different makes of tractors along and with the rotation of different tractors, engine and cab components were either different in appearance and/or locations and each tractor shifted slightly differently. The owner of the school informed me this was done purposely to prepare students for employment. This complicates learning and is nothing that can’t be learnt once an individual obtains employment and has more experience. The inconsistencies affect driving, getting a feel for the operation of the tractor and comfortability behind the wheel which all increases the learning curve. I decided that something needed to be done if there was going to be any chance of success. So, early in the course I asked the owner if I could remain on one make of tractor throughout the entire course and for the road test. Although he made no promises he did inform me he would try to make it happen. Weeks went by and no accommodation was made. It was after I gave him my intention to withdraw from the course that he was willing to accommodate me. Unfortunately, by this time it was too late as there was roughly only a week left before for my M.P.I road test. This program was a costly mistake. If as a prospective student you feel that these factors could be detrimental to your learning then you might want to reconsider another school whose program is longer in length, separates the theoretical and practical components and has you learn on one make of vehicle. There are other schools in Winnipeg that do so. Should you decide to take this program and have an issue, get everything in writing. It’s your money! Horrible experience and as such I don’t recommend this school. Former student

First Class Training Centre

At First Class, it is our intent to prepare our students for a workforce that may offer many different types of drivable equipment. Although the instructor did try to accommodate your request, our success has been based on training students to be adaptable to different driving environments. Hence, the need and expectation to learn different types of equipment configuration. Please note, we haven't done this type of training with one day in the truck and one day in the class for several years, at least 5 years for sure. We do evaluations at the end of each intake so hopefully you took the opportunity to voice your views at that time. For our training in current day we always do our best to keep the students with the same truck and instructor. However the student should be adaptable should something happen to the truck or instructor and have to switch. All schools who offer 244 hour training have the same outline as we are regulated by the government so unfortunately in Manitoba there isn't a longer program at this time.

Fantastic experience: One of the best class 1 and 3 training school in manitoba. I went to a different truck training school before but I failed then I switched to this school and I passed in first try. The training i recieved here is way better than the training i recieved at my previous school.
