A one stop shop for getting a driver's license. I paid for the gold package and was very happy with the level of service, especially during a pandemic. Driving tests are no longer administered by the DMV so let this school take care of all the details.

I'm sorry to say that I regret having my son go to this school, and especially that we went with the in-person option. The 8-hour sessions are a series of quiet time to read, watching videos and doing worksheets or quizzes. There was lot of "down time" and, from what I can tell, very little interaction between the instructor and the students. We did not do the "behind the wheel" (BTW) part, so I cannot speak to that. If I could go back and do it again I would probably look elsewhere, or choose the online version (which would require half as many hours of my son's time).

I had the pleasure of following a student and teacher from the school all the way up lookout mountain road. It was extremely questionable that the teacher had a student driver who could barely handle a car driving up a mountain road in a thick heavy fog with very low visibility. Poor choices aside, the teacher clearly was giving the student little or no direction on how to actually drive. The student was breaking in nearly every turn and swerving all over the road.
A little bit of minor instruction could easily correct that behavior and help that person be a good driver, but instead the teacher would rather just sit there and get nauseous while allowing this person to go out and endanger themselves and other people.

I wasn't taught how to drive at this location. All I have heard from people is that their cars are really slow and small. It could be just me, but kids nowadays want the newest, best, and fastest. Which makes sense why car insurance is through the roof.
