driver education

my son took the class when he was 15 years old and knew nothing about driving, now he has been driving on his own for over a year and has not had a ticket or a accident. The program was clear and easy to understand. The instuctor was great made my son fill good about driving. I just wish I knew of this school before my oldest girl got hher license.

Great experience for new drivers

Thinking of all the things one must know and do in order to safely operate a car, this company covers a very wide range of topics and skills and provides their students with a great experience.

Wonderful school

I used this school for my niece and was really impressed. The classroom instructor was very clear about what papers we needed for DMV and had great connection with her students. The driving instructor picked up from my niece's home and was on polite, friendly, and on time. My niece learned a lot and also had fun. She is know telling all her friends. I would recommend this school to anyone with a teenager. I also understand they will work with adults. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great Driving Ed School

Great instructors and staff. I sense the instructors are very knowledgeable of the materials and very competent in teaching both teenagers and adults behind the wheel. The location is perfect for taking a drive test. When it takes 3-4 weeks to get a drive test scheduled at the DMV, you can get a drive test that day at this driving school. I recommend American Driving Academy over the other driving schools in town because they are more economical than the others.

Overall program

I know many parents that have used this school. All the information you are looking for is given during the class. The classroom instructors are well trained and very polite. The driving instructors do a great job and are always willing to provide feedback to the parents. They have been in business for many years and this is a testament to their employees and leadership. I would recommend their many programs to anyone.

Total Lack of Information Beforehand to Ensure Requirements were met. . .

Signed my daughter up for the course almost 3 wks before the start date of 19 Dec. At no time before the course start date did anyone there specify what documentation would be required. The day she passed the written test they told her she needed to bring her original birth certificate or passport, and her Soc Sec Card or military ID, along with the Permit Fee the very next day. She went back the next day with her Birth Cert and Soc Sec card. They refused to issue her a Permit because they then said she needed to have her NY Birth Certificate certified by the State of Co or she could use her military dependent ID card. We went back the next day that they were open with her military ID, Soc Sec Card, and Birth Cert. This time they refused to issue her the permit saying that her military ID needed to spell out her full name. Why wasn't any of these specifications made known at the time we signed up for the course? Totally unacceptable for a course costing almost $400.

Great Company

I have sent my children to American Driving Academy and they all are fantastic drivers. They loved their instructors and I loved the professionalism of the company.
