Chad Krzymicki

Wanted to add the Hazmat endorsement to my license and needed the ELDT Hazmat course. The school I took for my CDL didn't offer it and referred me here, money well spent. I signed up on the 26th and passed the exam on the 29th. I'll definitely be back if I want to add other endorsements in the future. Thanks, for the educational online course.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear the course was helpful and that you passed the exam. We look forward to supporting you with any future endorsements.

Kris Edwards

Awesome. Well presented.

Sandy St.Aubin

I was seeking a different career opportunity after retiring from my previous career of many years. I decided that driving a school bus as a substitute would be an opportunity to still work with children, but in a different capacity. Frenchy was my instructor and he was a boat load of knowledge, that he graciously shared. Along, with the patience to guide me through with gentle correction. He encouraged me the entire way. Even when I was doubting myself he continued to support and foster my educational journey, for this a humongous THANK YOU Frenchy!!!
