My sons experience was completely different than any of the other reviews. My wife and I paid for our son to take this course to get his drivers license. We just arrived back home after he failed his driving test. So, he obviously was not taught to drive. Hopefully, I will be able to get him to return and try again.
The issues started when he began to be warned, or at least perceived, that he could fail the written test. Anxiety began to increase and was very high as he prepared to take the driving portion. The practice driving seemed to go well, he completed his five hours, although many days after the course because they take on to many students for the instructors. He drove the 35 minutes to the test and did well, I was confident but knew he was nervous.
I could tell he failed when he got out of the car. I spoke with the person who gave him the test and the first thing I was told is that he drove to slow. What? There were a couple things he did that he did not do on the way to the test. He apparently took a left turn from a lane over. Who knows, the situation is full of stress, it makes it difficult to be successful.
Compare that with the course my daughter took a few years ago in Omaha. The instructors consistently let students know they would get them through the course. Then the driving portion was incorporated into the sessions and students were checked off, for lack of a better word, while driving with the same instructor. The students were put at ease and they were instructed and passed the "test" with an instructor they were comfortable with. This is what I thought I was purchasing. Obviously I was wrong.
If your child has any anxiety about being around adults or taking tests, stay away, this is not an appropriate class. Just go to the DMV and get your dose of anxiety inducing stress there without spending the money.
