Amanda Smith stands in front of her fire truck on the Camp Pendleton Marine Base as she thanks the CCS instructors for helping her obtain her CDL license which enabled her to secure her civilian firefighter job.

Congratulations Amanda, and good luck in your new career!

Amanda Smith” As my time in the Marine Corps was coming to an end, I decided that I wanted to further my firefighter career in the civilian side. Obtaining my class A license became a priority. I first went to another school that offered a class A license and after only attending a couple of weeks I dreaded going to class and began to doubt I would obtain my license. Because of personal reasons I had to drop the school and postpone getting my license.
About six months later I met with one of the recruiters from California Career Schools and just from speaking to him for fifteen minutes my confidence was back to obtain my class A. After going to class and meeting the instructors I realized how fun learning to drive a tractor and trailer could be. The instructors at CCS were always there to answer questions and always made going to school fun and stress free.

I would recommend CCS to any and all individuals interested in obtaining their Class A. I had to go through the hassle of dealing with another school and wouldn’t want someone else to make the same mistake. I thank all the instructors and CCS personnel on my class A success.”

Sincerely,
Amanda Smith
