The whole experience was bad from day one, constant change after they get your money, lies, & more lies. To get instructions from an instructor I had to consistently ask, th n was told by admissions or the administrator that I make my own rules, this & that, but over exhaustion & headaches constantly in a field that is already sometimes frustrating & confusing. & there is no one on one with the school. If they say you be there from 9-5, guess again...

What an amazing school. I was given with all the resources to pass my permit test and license test and I passed both on my first tries. If you have questions, they will really help you. All the instructors Muhammad, Abdul Raheem, Anwar and Others were very helpful. It’s you who really have to put an effort to study. REMEMBER: FOCUS ON PRE TRIP INSPECTION! Rest is easy.

Unfortunately I got my CDL license here in 2021 and it was a big mistake , there was no professional instructors nor in-class training. I did learn there from other students. This school should be investigated by FMCSA , VA DMV and also by The counties/cities who fund training for low income residents . I recently went back and asked for the cost for P endorsement , the person I spoke to said $1500 but when he find out that the city of Alexandria will fund the training he added $1000 to $1500 = $2500. When I asked why he would overcharge when the city is paying for it . He replied I shouldn't care since the city is paying for it. It is Obvious that the School does not understand that city or county fund comes from Taxpayers and the taxpayers are us . and we the residents have the obligation to protect "our" money. I then asked him to give me my papers back and walked away. I eventually got my P endorsement in more professional school that I recommend to everyone it is located an about 1 hour away in Fredericksburg VA but it is absolutely worth the drive. Good luck folks !

Worst school I got my cdl A from them but let me tell you. First of all it’s no instructors that speak English. It’s every man for themselves at that school. They are VERY VERY unorganized you basically learn on the fly. If you are Ethiopian or speak there language then be my guest go to them. 30 people there but only 3 trucks they rush people in. I payed my tuition out of pocket and they just kept adding fees. 4700 for my tuition but I had to pay an extra 250 when it was test time. If you are an American I do not recommend this messy unorganized school

Honestly, a great place to learn and train for your CDL. The owner and instructors are all very knowledgeable people who want to see you succeed. Please understand that if you do come to this school you must study your pre-trip everyday. This is for everyone's safety at the school, they value their students and I passed my road test the first time. They prepare you very well for the road test.

Fist of all I would like to thank you the entire staff with no exception at 1st cdl training center of nova. for their great efforts to pass the information to the students in every way possible. I’m surprised by the limited numbers of reviews this place has. This school should be top reviewd because it is really the top trucking school in Va. If you are really looking to get your cdl, and willing to put some work and commitment and pay attention to every instruction they give you, this is the place for you to be. Their patience is unbelievable, you will get a lot of attention at this school. Instructors effective is enough and they are willing to work with you in a sincere way, you just have to listen carefully. You will notice that they are very experimented and all you have to do is ask questions and they will help you gladly. Their patience and happiness while helping their students is heart warming and you will notice that this people love what they do. I haven’t notice any thing bad at this school or any carelessness from their part , they are very fast in resolving issues if they happen and that what matters for me (positive reaction) is a key of success. Don’t know what to say else besides that I highly recommend them and good luck to all new truckers who wants to help this country move forward by joining a very essential field which is trucking.

School was great everyone is very knowledgeable and took the time to help no matter what the situation and they treat you like family I would recommend 1st CDL Training center of NovA to anyone wanting to get their CDL . Mohammad Gaur Anvar Sharif are the best classroom instructor is great very knowledgeable and interacts with the class. Anwar Sharif is awesome. He is very smart and shows you the easy tricks about the straight backup , Parel and offset . if you don't know how to back a trailer you will before you leave he really knows what he's doing. My favorite driving instructor is Mohammad , he spent his precious time with us also I appreciate him for arranging our class so special . I was having the hardest time getting the double-clutching on the road but between the two of them, I can shift the truck now easily . It's really hard to say who stood out everyone was great and awesome at their job. I absolutely enjoyed my CDL training at 1st CDl training Nova

I went to this School several years ago. All and all I can say it was a good school. I learned what I needed to pass my General Knowledge and Air Brake test. I was able to perform the inspection of the outside and inside of the Tractor and Trailer thoroughly. I was able to practice and learn the necessary skills set to drive a Tractor-Trailer.... Manual at that, not Automatic...although they did have Automatics to practice. Also, the were understanding and patient with me for I had personal issues which caused me to miss more than a few weeks of school but allowed me to continue and get the training I needed to acquire my Class A CDL License. I would recommend this School to those seeking to get there CDL License. Sincerely, Oliver G.
