I am thinking about going to ATI here in Virginia Beach Va soon Is this school any good? the cost is $5800. For 8-12 weeks and they say most have jobs by the end of the school.Any one else been there? thanks

 

Your better off going to Tidewater Community College to get your cdl, its only $1300, 8 weeks long. I don't know if ATI has changed things, but last I heard there course cost 8,000 and it was only 5 weeks long

 

which TCC is offering classes? do they run monthly? Thanks

 

The campus out in Portsmouth has it, you'll have to call and check to see when there class dates are

 

Thanks

 

A friend of mine just graduated from there about a month ago. He said it was a very good school and was pleased with everything.

 

Here's one of the problems with asking a question like this. People will answer saying the school is great or the school sucked. They make the comment having only gone to one school. Unless a person has gone to more than one school they don't have anything to compare it to, thus no real solid answer. If you have more than one option try doing a side-by-side comparison of cost (with interest), classroom hours, hours behind the wheel (you, not 3 of you sitting the berth), and any other items taught. Try to get as much as you can in writing. If they make claims but won't back them up I would be suspicious. It's hard choosing a school so do your homework. Visit them, talk to teachers and instructors, and try to get a feel for which you like better. These schools are only thinking of what it takes to get you your CDL, so don't pay more than you have to.
