"We all have choices to make when selecting a school and Humber was the right choice by far."
I recently got my DZ licence at Humber. From the minute I showed up for the first meeting till the day of the test, the people were outstanding. The instructors really cared and it showed. With respect to the equipment, I was very impressed that the Humber team is able to keep the trucks in such good shape given all the student drivers, and it was a pleasure to learn on them.

I look forward to putting what I have learned at Humber into practice in the real world. I left the program full of confidence due to the support and professionalism shown by my instructors.
