“NATT has been an awesome experience! A lot of fun times, funny conversations, but when it needed to get serious, it was serious and proper. Huge shoutout to Adam, Tom and Derrick for providing me with all the knowledge and training I have and to Shannon and Carissa for helping me prepare for the course. Made a few friends there and successfully obtained my DZ. I’m gonna miss this place, and if I ever upgrade my license again, I’ll be more than happy to come back! (I also got the privilege of driving the Blue Prized Possession, so that was awesome too!) Thanks again, to all of you at NATT!”

“I just wanted to let you know that I passed my road test early this morning.
I’m extremely happy with the outcome but mostly, I’m very happy and satisfied with your support. I need to give big thanks to Adam as he was wonderful and patient with my learning. He is also a funny and great asset for NATT. Don’t let him get away! I did thank him after I was done but please pass on the thanks to him.
I’m proud to be a NATT graduate of sorts! I will be spreading the word of the good job everyone has done and all the support I received throughout my learning journey.
Thanks once again and I will now be driving around in my RV as a certified D-Z RV driver…Yes!”

“I’d like to give a huge thank you to all at NATT! In the beginning of my search for a training institute to obtain my AZ 6 week melt program I had a good feeling that I made the right decision to train with them. From the moment I reached out to Shannon who was first and foremost willing and took the time to assist me in finding if not to answer any questions I had in regards to becoming an AZ driver and my journey to get me there! Along with her encouragement and support throughout until I achieved a successful road test!
I’m grateful to have met and trained at least once with all of the instructors at NATT although had their own methods of teaching; were passionate about their students succeeding and I felt they never forgot what it was like to learn for the first time! All instructors where patient and kept me encouraged to pursue a longtime dream!
I had the privilege of working with Pat for the most part of my training and It was an amazing experience being a student of his! Pat is a very kind and patient instructor with the ability to keep a relaxing learning atmosphere. During training was able to keep me calm and focused on my end goal to not give up!
It was so nice to see Carissa’s smiling face greet me each time I enter her front administrative space and assist in any way she could!
Thank you so much Brian for allowing me to continue in my practice journey until I achieved my success, I truly believe that you genuinely care about each and every student’s success who come through your training facility, grateful to have found NATT and all of your amazing staff and team!
Thank You,
Kari-Ann H.

“My journey started by calling NATT. Shannon, with her bubbly positive personality guided me through every aspect of deciding which of the many courses they offer. Providing me with not only the info needed but, also confidence and a greater ambition to accomplish my life dream!

Today I am an AZ licensed driver thanks to the expertise, patience and 110% efforts of ALL the amazing instructors. Each instructor have their own style and understanding in teaching methods, which were detrimental in my success.

A huge thank you to all of you.”

“”I wanted the opportunity to express my thanks to the people at NATT. The whole team, the instructors, the helpful office staff, and the personal touch that Brian Pattison puts into the mix, it all helped me to choose a third career choice and saw it go from thought to reality. The instruction I received from NATT gave me a new respect for those drivers I took for granted that I see on the roads every day. I never gave it much thought until I enrolled in this course, but it really gave me a chance to see it from sitting where they sit, their big shoes to fill. I found myself with a better understanding of what a huge responsibility it is to drive a tractor trailer. At NATT there’s a no nonsense approach to the rules of the road, the importance of safety, and the care and control that driving a big rig requires. The instructors have what it takes to ride with you and cheer you on, or straighten you out if need be, and some of us need that honestly just to keep us on track. The other thing I wanted to say was that at NATT, they support you, they don’t just give you a certificate and go on to the next person, they supported me as I worked through from my first day of striving to achieve my Z endorsement, all the way to obtaining my A licence. I don’t know how the other schools of transport training do it, but I know that NATT does it right!

Thanks to all of you at Natt, you’re a great example of what team work looks like and works like!.” Jim

“I passed my DZ road test today. I would like to let you know just how good Adam really is at his job! I am sure you already know but would like to pass along my thoughts.
Adam is able to connect to everyone on their own level for optimal learning and retention. He really cares about educating all of his students and wants them to succeed. He went above and beyond for me and I am successful because he cared so much about my success. He made me feel confident so I knew I could pass my exam. Kudos to NATT for having such an awesome trainer! Can’t say enough good stuff about him!.” Jeff

“Just want to thank you and the NATT team for the help with the refresh, especially Tom, he’s a really good guy and an excellent trainer that eliminated doubts, instilled confidence; and, for me as an experienced driver, he gave great tips that he saw I needed, that were easy to comprehend and put into practice. It was a pleasure working with him.” Ray

I appreciate the guidance and patience! I do recommend getting the truck license through NATT! Thank you again!!” Ricky

I give a big thumbs up to future students to attend this wonderful training school and its programs. BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE AND THANKS AGAIN”
Corey P.

“NATT has been a wonderful experience for me, when I enrolled into their DZ program I was very nervous because I’ve had no prior experience. The enrollment process was easy after talking with Shannon, she even provided a list of things to do for pre enrollment that was EXTREMELY helpful! We started our zoom classes early January and met our teacher Adam D. Now sitting infront of a screen for 8 hours a day reading a text book is boring, its very obvious that not a whole lot of people enjoy doing that because it in itself is boring, but Adam found ways to try and make it entertaining to keep people as engaged into the material as possible. What made it better were the home made instructional videos and the very dry but comical humor.
The in person learning was very much the same.
The next week was the schedule 1 inspection training. Derek did a wonderful job showing me the ins and outs of doing an effective schedule 1 inspection while showing extra tips and tricks. Now getting to the in cab training are where the nerves really kicked in. Getting in the drivers seat for the first time was nerve racking. Derek did his best to make me feel more comfortable in the drivers seat and getting used to the movement of the larger vehicle (despite the crappy winter roads and weather we had that day, which was good because controlling a fishtail was burned into my memory). By the end of the day I was fairly comfortable operating the vehicle. The day before my D class exam I was back with Adam. We did everything from top to bottom, if we did an inspection and he or I wasn’t satisfied with the item, we would re approach it right away and fix any technical grammar. When we did our drive through the exam route and there was something I knew I could do better at then we would run it through again, even going through the roundabout multiple times because I wouldn’t take my right of way or my turn was too sharp, or my exit out was really shaky. At the end of the day we did multiple mock inspection tests and I asked all the questions I could think of and Adam provided with all the answers that he had within his arsenal. Exam day, this was it, I either pass or fail and would have to redo the exam. I met up with Adam and asked any last minute questions and then it was time to execute the exam. Perfect on the schedule 1 inspection and only 9/30 errors on the road making me a new holder of a DZ license! By paying attention to the course material and actually taking advice from all my teachers definitely proved useful and can attest that even when you don’t have any experience, NATT will give you the skills and knowledge to achieve greatness!
Thank you to all the staff at NATT. You were very helpful and definitely made my future even brighter and the roads even safer!”
Cory B.

“The training course with Adam was very detailed and professional, I felt as though he was very thorough on schedule to the point where when I finally got to my test I was way over prepared and there was just no way I was failing after Adams teachings. he’s a good teacher and a stand up guy. I’d recommend his class to anyone interested driving truck”
Andre D.

“NATT is the best school for Transportation Training, I know cause I have taken training in the past and NATT goes above and beyond. From Shannon who helped me through the whole process, spending time with me to help with paperwork and emails she was always there for me every time I called. The Trainers Tom, Derek, Paul and Adam where all on point and above and beyond. They make you feel like family and it was the greatest experience. I recommend NATT over all the rest!”
Mark L.

“I would like to thank you guys for helping me get my AZ. You guys have the best professional instructors and I’m glad I chose NATT for my AZ license.” Josh Hikopua

“I would like to say some great feed back about your trainer Adam, he is a great trainer in my opinion and is a great asset to your organization. He was very polite and informative on all of the knowledge leading up to the tests, also how he would draw and describe everything for us and show us visually. I have been on many training courses where I want to fall asleep in class due to the dry material. With Adam it was different I was able to stay awake and want to learn more because of how he teaches and kept our attention. He gets excited which in turn made me excited and want to be there bravo to Adam on keeping me awake and alert on this course.
P.S I passed my written A and my Z thanks to the great training I received.” Jonathan Riberdy, AZ Program 2021

“Thanks again for all your help! Your communication made this process very easy! I was very satisfied with my experience. Adam was one of the coolest guys I have ever met and the best instructor I have ever had. I have written a 5 star review on google :).” Christopher Williams, AZ Program 2021

“The NATT program was really good! I went in not knowing a whole lot about the requirements of being an AZ driver and what to expect but I came out with so much knowledge. All of the driver trainers took the time to show us what to do and not to do. I recommend the NATT program to anyone looking to upgrade their license. Keep up the great work!!” Colin, AZ Program 2021

“I was looking for a career change and I searched out AZ training providers in the Sudbury area. It wasn’t long in speaking with NATT’s General Manager Brian and what NATT offers during and after graduation that my decision was an easy one. NATT’s 6 week AZ training course provided me with top notch in class and in truck instruction and all the tools required to pass the MTO’s road test. In April 2019 I passed the MTO road test and now I’m looking into the 6 week TPS Coach Program where I will have a mentor in cab performing paid long haul trips.” Mark Dillon – AZ Graduate 2019

“I attended NATT from February 4th, 2019 to March 19th, 2019 and in that time I received hands on and theoretical training. I felt that the course gave me the adequate knowledge to begin a career in the trucking industry. Both instructors seemed to be very knowledgeable in their field, and all other staff was very approachable and understanding. I would recommend NATT to anyone thinking of starting their career in trucking and encourage the school to continue to bring ride along students with them.” Harrison Noble

“NATT is a well rounded professional driving school. They have provided me with everything I needed to successfully complete my AZ training. The instructors Adam and Trevor are both very knowledgeable and respectful making the training much less stressful. A week of in class training was very helpful before going driving as well.
