About 160 Driving Academy
160 Driving Academy serving the Seattle area is located at 1000 SW 7th Street, Suite G, Renton, WA 98057 — approximately 12 miles south of downtown Seattle. The school is part of the national 160 Driving Academy network and delivers the four-week, 160-hour CDL-A training program combining classroom instruction with extensive hands-on driving on local and interstate Pacific Northwest roads. The Seattle/Renton campus offers Class A CDL training, Hazmat certification, ELDT courses, and CDL refresher programs. Financial aid options include WIOA grants, employer-sponsored tuition programs through major trucking carriers, and the Edly income-share agreement. The academy targets a 95% student graduation rate across its national network. Reviews are generally positive for instructors' expertise and dedication to student success, though some students have raised concerns about overbooking — specifically, too many students enrolled at once leading to reduced individual driving time. Administrative communication has also drawn some complaints. Prospective students should ask about current enrollment levels and expected behind-the-wheel hours per student. The school operates Monday through Friday, 8am to 4:30pm. It is FMCSA-registered and ELDT-compliant. The Renton location is a member of the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, establishing community presence in the greater Seattle metro area.
