Went here for my skills test and passed it fairly easily. My instructor Aaron is so vocal and passionate about everything that you're gonna do in the test. He's an awesome instructor. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to get their license.

I must start off by saying that I am(still) overly impressed by the customer service I was given at this place from the moment I walked in; I was immediately greeted by a young Asian woman with long hair(I didn't ask her name) who really took the time to explain the progrem in full detail and answer ALL of my questions. I didn't have an appointment as I just casually stopped in due to being in the area for an appt.

I have been "shopping" for a driving school for my teenage twins for a little over 6 months and just have been disappointed and let down in the quality of customer service the "competitors" offer. I am so relieved and excited that I finally found a GREAT driving school to enroll my boys into. We live in South Auburn and are very much willing to do this commute due to the excellent experience that I was given by this young lady. Kudos to her! We look forward to your continued business!

My husband and I love this place. We were referred by a close friend of the family who sent her daughter through the drivers training. We then sent our oldest daughter through their program and heard about the robust training, the stories they share of the loss of loved ones from driving under the influence etc., we sent our remaining five children with no regrets. We paid allot of money but it was so worth it. I love that retired police officers are the instructors and that they teach defensive driving skills. We highly recommend 911 driving school for everyone who needs to learn how to drive.

Instructors were extremely qualified, friendly and understanding. My daughter never seemed to be overwhelmed or flustered at any time. It's convenient that they offered the complete package-practice drives, written test and driver's license test.

The overall experience was good just circumstances that did not work out in our favor with COVID and social distancing requirements. My son was already a later start in age and could not get drives scheduled in a timely manner to meet the requirements before he turned 18, so we we're kind of done with it all and now he is trying to get his license. Overall, it is a good driving school.

Even during this time of not meeting in person, the instruction was well done. My daughter thrived in the classes and during the drives. She passed her knowledge and skills test the first time. I sat in on the first session with the instructor and felt he was down to earth, realistic, and kind. Thank you.

Aaron was an incredible instructor! He effectively connected with my teen and provided clear and real-time feedback to ensure safe driving practices were understood. Additionally, he kept me informed of areas where my teen needed additional practice. I highly recommend 911 in Kent, and am grateful for Aaron!

911 Driving School was the best decision we could have made when sending our grandson to driving school. The price is very reasonable and the training is excellent. Even while going through the pandemic, 911 was able to teach the rules of the road and take my grandson out for his mandatory on road driving sessions. They provide the written test and once you pass that you make an appointment with the DMV to take the written test. Because of their teachings my grandson passed his driving test on the first try and has his license.

911 Driving School of Kent is the best driving school I've ever attended. The instructors are always nice and supportive, and they provide a quality experience in the classroom and on the road. An important mission of this school and its instructors is to ensure that their students complete this course with an understanding of how to be safe on the road and - let's face it - return home alive. With that at the core of their purpose, it doesn't feel like some old man is barking at you on how to operate a motor vehicle. Instead, it feels like a family member or someone you can depend on is guiding on how to be a mindful driver.

In other words, the school and its instructors care about your life, and it shows in the quality education that you (or your prospective student) will receive. Hands down, this is an amazing driving school and I recommend it to all new drivers and parents. You won't be disappointed.

Their online class is very good - I personally find it not only practical but also as efficient. The teacher(s) are qualified teachers with experience in their fields. The study material definitely help the students learn well and the test was done well, easy to understand by students. By the time I'm writing this review my kid isn't doing the practice driving yet so I'll update on that more later. Communication with office staff is also good. It was easy for me to understand regarding to their system/process (after covid).

Excellent driving school! Very pleased with the instruction both in class & hands on. My son has been driving for 3 years now and is a very safe & careful driver! Also, the office staff is amazing! When I needed a copy of his certificate to show driving class completion for car insurance purposes (over a year later) they were so quick to look that up and email it to me! I was so impressed! I highly recommend 911 Driving School of Kent!
