Coastline Academy is the BEST driving school in Chico. They're a national company, but they treat…read moretheir customers as if they're your neighbors. The teachers are local, and really good. So far my son has only had one teacher, Mathew, and my son loves him! He's learned a lot and has even taught me a few things I didn't know, and I've been driving for 37 years! Customer Service is excellent! I spoke with quite a few, but Ashley went above and beyond and I appreciate their kindness and efficiency. After we *both* learned a few things from Matthew I'd say that if you've been driving for a long time, it's a good idea to pick up a California Driving Handbook. Not only were professional driving schools not required back in the 80's and early 90's, but a few laws have changed since then and it's a good idea to freshen up your knowledge of the California road rules, regulations and safety etc. Lessons are expensive no matter what, and they're all about the same price. Coastline tends to be available within a few days, so if you're looking to book a lesson ASAP, they're the ones to call. I'm definitely going to have my daughter use Coastline, and I definitely recommend them to anyone!

She was on the verge of stopping the car and getting out more than once (I wish she had!) as a result of how uncomfortable she felt with him. During the lesson he would have her pull over so he could talk about road rules. He rambled on about traffic issues but what he ended up talking about were his bizarre personal beliefs. It was a horrible experience for her. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

The environment could be better regarding the protests that happened and the staff did not do anything about it. An example of this is the anti transgender protest that students held at PV. Some staff members saw it happening but did not stop it. They did not stop the discrimination against transgender people. So overall, the learning experience is great, but the environment can be changed so every single student will feel included at school.

Great School!! TDA…read moreis a four(4) week long Truck Driving school that focuses not only on a student getting their Class A license, but making a student a professional driver. The school is set up for the students to get a lot of time behind the wheel of the truck. They do that by having a maximum of four(4) students to one(1) instructor at all times. If for any reason there would be more than 4 students, they call in another instructor with another truck to make sure they keep those numbers. First week is in the class room learning the basics and getting ready to take the DMV written tests. Once you pass the test the rest of the time you are in the "Yard" learning the ins and outs of driving a commercial truck. The school has two(2) trucks to train you with. They are 10 speed manuals and have "sleepers" on them so they are the kind you would most likely be driving once you got a job. You will learn city and highway driving in Yuba City, Marysville and Sacramento as will a small little towns around the area. You will drive on 99, 70, I 5 and I 80 and small little back roads that are narrow and tight as well as backing up to docks so you will be will rounded. The school is great because if you have a hard time learning, or just take longer than the normal time, the school will continue to work with you until you have passed your driving test with DMV at no extra charge. There have been students there for months and months and the instructors work with them. As long as this is something you want, they will work with you as long as you are not disrespectful and you show up to class. When I took my written test at DMV, they had guessed I came from TDA due to how will I did on my tests. While on my driving test, the DMV examiner made the comment "It was nice for once to ride with someone that knew how to drive" and while I waited outside DMV watching others students from other schools drive, I saw what the examiner was talking about. Out of about 10 student drivers that day, I was one of only two drivers to pass and get my license. The school helps with financing and job placement. The day I passed my DMV Drive test, they had found me a job. The funny thing was, it wasn't a truck driving job. In this school, you are a person, not a dollar sign. I had told them the field I was coming from was hard to find work in and that was why I was switching careers. They found me a job in my original career that paid better than what I had been getting before and would pay better then any job they could find at that time for trucking. This school may cost a little more, but its will worth it with the time and focus they give you and they are the only one that is state certified in the area. If that's not enough, many of the students from the past came by or called up the instructors to let them know how they were doing and to ask them more questions about the industry, and even ask about companies before applying to see if it was what they were looking for. That says a lot to me. Best School ever!!!!
