Better Late Than Never… MTI provided me with all the tools I needed to begin my trucking career in Canada. The Class 1 training I received not only kept me safe on the roads, but also helped protect every single person I shared those roads with,from the icy highways of Northern Manitoba to the deserts of Nevada, 13 years later I’m still accident-free—and thriving in a vibrant trucking career. Today, I’m proud to be teaching new drivers the very same foundational skills MTI taught me. A huge thank you to Andy and the entire training team at MTI. I attended MTI with eight other Jamaicans, and from day one, we were treated like family. I still remember Andy giving us his little Honda Odyssey to share for the entire month—so we could get to school and explore the town while we studied. Today, we’re all successful drivers, owner-operators, and trucking company owners across Canada—all thanks to MTI and its incredible staff. Words will never be enough to express how much you changed my life. THANK YOU.

We had an excellent experience with MTI! The support for beginner drivers was outstanding from start to finish. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and made sure both of my children felt confident and safe behind the wheel. Our family highly recommends MTI to anyone looking to become a skilled and responsible driver. The registration was easy and straightforward. Scheduling lessons was flexible based on our availability. Thank you!

My 16 year old son took driving lessons through the new driving program in preparation for his N driving exam. He was fortunate to have three different instructors with his five lessons. Sheri, Waneta and Jacob were all awesome and provided my son with valuable information and driving practice. My son took his N exam in the MTI car, which without a doubt, helped him relax and prepare for the exam. No surprises, no cracked windshield, no alerts on dashboard - just comfort knowing he knew this car from the lessons - one less thing to worry about. I cannot thank them enough for preparing my son for this driving exam and thank you Sheri for sitting with me in the drivers licensing office while we waited for him to return and it was smiles and congratulations all around!!

I needed to get out Air Brakes Endorsement to allow use of our Prevost RV. I was referred to MTI and I can understand why! My course consisted of 8 hours of theory and 4 hours of practical. With the theory, the instructor was Patrick who knowledge is vast, with his teaching ability being both informative yet personable. With the practical, the instructor was John (who is the owner of MTI). Not only were we shown the practical pre-trip we were shown the benefits as well as full explanation and John is again very informative yet personable. I strongly suggest that you consider using MTI as not only are the instructors top notch but the location in Castlegar allows drivers to be to be challenged with professional guidance the two mountain passes which border Castlegar.

Being that we are purchasing an Air Brake enabled RV, we needed to get our Air Brakes endorsement and we were referred to MTI by another past student. First eight hours was theory with the instructor (Patrick) was great. Very easy to learn the theory including the use of the custom air board which showed each component with them actually working so you could see why the Air Brake component was needed and the benefit. The following day was four hours theory with John (MTI owner) whose experience and ease of understanding exactly how the theory applied in a real scenarios. The theory had 20 students but the practical was only five students for each group allowing everyone to be able to observe each students practical sessions with the final testing be not only about retention but also included questions on how it would apply and why it was needed. While our RV will only be towing an electric brake trailer and that with the RV (Prévost) some of the tasks in pre-trip and post-trip would not apply, John took the time after the class to provide us with resources and advice on what Prevost’s specifically pre-trip and post-trip inspections as well as referring us to very experienced Prévost mechanical shop as this is required as part of the on-going maintenance and inspection. Highly recommend MTI for not only Air Brakes but in reviewing the comment board we saw that they have very high reviewed from past student of the Class 1, 2 and 4 classes.
