I had a Great experience here at Advanced Career Institute. The staff was great, equipment was great, all the questions I asked were answered. When I requested something (i.e. more ally dock time, more drive time, etc.), I received it... Great Job Advanced, this was a very good school. I will definitely be recommending this school to my buddies.

I had a great experience at Advanced Career Institute. The instructors were all great people, and were all very patient. Advanced walked me through everything step-by-step, and even worked with my schedule. There were some areas I was having a hard time with, and Advanced Career Institute allowed me to come in and work 1-on-1 with an instructor. From going to this school, I can honestly say that this school really cares about their students. They go above-and-beyond, to make sure you succeed. Thank you so much to all the staff at Advanced Career Institute. You have ALL helped me in such a great way, and I really appreciate what you guys have done for me.

I would like to say that Advanced Career Institute is an AWESOME school. The staff at this school were all very friendly, and helped me out whenever I had a question. The instructors at Advanced Career Institute were also all very good. The classroom instructor took his time with all of us in classroom, which allowed me to pass my first test, on the first try. The lab instructors also spent a lot of quality time with me. Because of all the wonderful lab instructors, I was also able to pass my final test on my first try. This school is definitely tops, and they really make you feel like part of their team. Thank you very much Advanced Career Institute for doing such a great job, I will definitely be telling my friends about your school. Anybody that needs to get their CDL should definitely come to Advanced.

I would like to start out by saying Thank You to ALL the staff at Advanced Career Institute. This school was GREAT, and has there stuff together. The instructors at Advanced Career Institute, helped me graduate. I would also like to thank my classroom instructor, for having the confidence in me from the beginning. From the first day I attended this school, to the very end, Advanced walked me through the whole process and helped me get where I got today (8/1/13). I took the (20) Week Course at Advanced, and am SO GLAD I DID!!! The (20) week program tought me so much, and I feel much more confident, by taking this program. Thank you so much Advanced for all your help. I truly appreciate it, and will be recommending your school.
The training at Advanced Career Institute was great. My instructors were great, I got my Class A. permit when I was supposed to, passed my DMV drive test on the first try. Besides the great training, I also got to haul live freight loads. My experience at Advanced Career Institute was one that I would highly recommend. I took the (20) week program, and am glad I did. Because of the experience I received from my instructors, The great Job placement they offered, I'm going to work for a freight company just (3) days after getting my license. Thanks again Advanced Career Institute for helping me & many others out. -Gabriel Soto-
I just graduated from Advanced Career Institute on 4/26/13, and was very pleased with their training. I really liked the classroom work with Uncle Dan, and really enjoyed working with my driving instructor Scott. Advanced Career Institute has a great setup, and it allowed me to pass my DMV test on my very first try. I graduated on Friday, and now I'm lined up with a job.... Thank you very much Advanced for doing such a GREAT JOB!!!! I will definitely recommend your school. Keep up the good work.

This school is terrible! They take on more students than they can handle. They say they have small classes but there were 12 to 15 students waiting for one truck so in course of an 8hr day you accomplish very little so very few students finish within 4 weeks.There instructors are rude and disrespectful. Kelly and Ray are horrible instructors.When a student makes a mistake they get pissed off and talk to you like you are an idiot. Joe the recruiter would be a great used car salesmen.I switched over to United trucking school and so far I'm very happy with this school.
First of all, i recently recieved my class A going to this school. The staff were great and helpful anwered any quetions, or concerns you had. They give you all the proper miterials you need to pass your written test for your permit. They give you more than enough time to study or i studied at home as well cuz i really wanted it. Once you pass your written test the first week they give you a small packet that is more than enough to pass your air brakes, incab, and pre-trip inspections, again study if you really want it, ask quetions and you will be answerd. During studing you will be doing skills and possibly drives take advantage of your turn and listen to your instructer, you dont listen, you dont learn, you will be going on drives, you should be able to "get the concept" if not ask for more time it doest hurt. Overall Aci helps you get your class A. They dont hold your hand for months and years so i recomend this school and they work with your schedule.
Great experience going to ACI. Staff was helpful, instructors were great and have a lot of job experience to help you learn. I liked the family atmosphere. Checked out other schools but ACI was the most professional and the only school that has a job placement department. I didn't want to just get a license, I wanted to use my license and get a job and the student services department helped out. Great school, check these guys out!
I attended Advanced Career Institute in Fresno Ca and found it to be a great learning experience. Fantastic school and great staff. I Completed the school in four weeks and had a job waiting for me thanks to the professional placement services offered at the school.
I am now working for Stevens Transport making excellent pay and seeing the country.
Thanks ACI
