Services
DUI/Risk Reduction Program
This 20-hour state-mandated program combines assessment and classroom instruction for DUI offenders. The course includes a 143-question assessment followed by three days of virtual instruction covering alcohol and drug awareness. Georgia law requires completion for various offenses including boating under the influence and underage drinking violations. The program helps drivers meet court requirements while promoting safer driving habits through certified instructors.
Defensive Driving Program
Georgia's 6-hour defensive driving course satisfies court mandates and insurance requirements. The program teaches accident prevention techniques while qualifying drivers for insurance discounts and license reinstatement. Certified instructors deliver virtual sessions that meet state standards for point reduction and ticket dismissal. Participants receive official state-issued certificates upon completion, with options for flexible scheduling to accommodate different needs.
Victim Impact Panel
Two-hour virtual sessions feature personal stories from DUI victims and their families. The program focuses on the human consequences of impaired driving through interactive discussions led by experienced facilitators. Participants receive official documentation for court or probation requirements. The non-judgmental approach emphasizes behavior change while providing healing opportunities for victims to share their experiences in a structured environment.
Alcohol and Drug Evaluations
State-certified evaluations determine appropriate treatment for DUI offenders. Conducted by approved counselors, these assessments meet Georgia's mandatory requirements for post-July 2008 DUI convictions. Virtual appointments maintain confidentiality while providing official documentation. The evaluation may recommend additional treatment but often serves as a standalone requirement for license reinstatement and court compliance.
Anger Management Classes
Court-approved programs offer flexible scheduling options including 1-hour to 8-hour sessions. Certified instructors tailor programs to meet specific court mandates while addressing behavioral patterns. Documentation is provided for legal and probation requirements. The program combines structured learning with practical exercises to help participants develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve emotional regulation skills.

I took a class with Tara last year, and she was great! She had tons of energy, she was so kind and polite! All of her instructions were clear and concise and she keeps a good pace through the course! She even helped me out months later when I needed her help to get my license reinstated! She responded promptly and also handled my requests immediately! Highly recommend Northside Buckhead Driving &DUI! And if you stop by tell Tara I said Hello!

North Buckhead Driving and DUI school is the best. I am a DUI and Traffic Ticket attorney so I have familiarity and dealt with many of the schools in the ATL Metro area. They offer Zoom classes and there is no school which is as customer friendly and flexible as North Buckhead is with their students. I would definitely recommend this school for quick and fast service!

This place is a scam. They will steal your money do not use! First thing I will say is BEWARE, DO NOT COME to this place and give them your money. I took a 6 hour class this Saturday and sat through 5 HOURS of the class before the instructor disconnected me from the zoom class literally 45 minutes before the class ended (mind you I watched the instructor boot 3 different men from the zoom call through out the entire call for no reason) & so I call this "Tara" lady who booked my class to ask for a refund and she blocks my number, no one is answering the office number.
They stole my money and are not giving it back to me! Beware do not take any course here. I wish I could upload photos of these rude text messages I have recieved when simply asking for my money back. DO NOT USE! I will be contacting the police about this business this
