It gets two stars because it's a cert that reduces the auto insurance. My daughter was not sure what actual driving related instruction she learned from the program. The tests questions they made the class take seemed to be the same we found online before she started. Most of what she learned in the classroom way was: "do ____ and I will fail you." "your mom would fail this class because women can't drive." For the driving time, 6 hours worth, there did not seem to any real driving instructions or feedback. To quote my daughter "It was, drive here while i'm on my phone", except for, "work on your parallel parking." It just seems like they were phoning it in and cashing checks.

I e-mailed the school about scheduling an appointment and they quickly got back to me the next business day. I also talked to them on the phone to confirm the appointment with Lane, and he was very friendly and told me I could choose to take the test if I felt ready. I am an adult who has struggled with driving anxiety for a long time. I did a one hour lesson which then became the test with Mike Tucker.

He was really nice and very helpful and helped me pass my test! He's seriously the best! This is a great school that will help those who want to the take test but may be a little nervous.

A person driving this car (alone and an adult, so not a student driver) with this driving school sticker on the back of his car just cut me off, then failed to yield to oncoming traffic as he took a left at a stoplight without a protected arrow-the car that tried to go straight who had the right of way had to slam on his brakes. Then this guy turned right onto 2nd from Kelly with no turn signal! I'm behind him like What the Heck?! Won't be sending my kids to this driving school! Yikes!

My daughter used champion for her driving practice and test. The first time she came to practice the instructor didn't go over anything that he said he would go over. Right after the practice she took the test. She didn't pass. The next time, a month later, she came to take the test the instructor didn't even let her out of the parking spot. I watched her try to pull out of the spot and she has doing fine.

They took our money for the second time and didn't give any advice but to pay them more for more practice. It seems like to me the people working here don't like their job. They won't get any more of my money. I don't usually leave bad reviews unless it is very bad.

I am an adult and a foreigner coming from a country where many people never get a driver's license because public transportation is very good. However, having a driver's license is a necessity in the USA and I decided to get mine the right way and learn from the professionals and enrolled in the Driver's Education course at the Champion Driving academy.

I am 32 years old and felt worried and unsure of how I would feel being in the classroom among 15.5-16 y.o. kids, but I worried for no reason. All I want to say that all of the trainers and stuff are just great, pleasant, knowledgeable people that treated me with respect and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. I got very lucky to have mr. Tom Plunkett as my classroom teacher and my driving coach, he is a very good teacher with years of experience, he shared a lot of tips and tricks and really helped me to become a better driver, and his personality is great too, I actually enjoyed our driving sessions.

The overall atmosphere at the driving school is great too, during our two 5hr classroom lessons school provided doughnuts, pizza & drinks, I felt like these people were my friends and wanted me to succeed. I took my driver's test today and passed, huge thank you to everyone at Champion - I could not have done this without you guys! I love the fact that you don't have to go to DPS (ain't nobody got time for that lol) and wait in long lines or schedule your appointment a month in advance, but instead can take your test at Champion. My experience here was nothing, but pleasant and I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Just called to ask about their fees and services to teach my mother how to drive. Man who answered was very rude. Extremely poor customer service over the phone is enough for anyone to avoid this school.

It's funny when you drive behind one of these cars and see them swerve into the other lane and think "awww, it's a student driver" and then pull along side them and see it's an instructor looking down at his phone. Definitely won't be sending my kids to this school.
