Driver Ed Classroom What are the students saying?

  • "It was very helpful. I learned a lot and the method of teaching was very innovative. The slides for every unit and the Jeopardy games helped us remember a lot of important pointers for new drivers. Definitely better than a straight lecture."
  • "Many of my friends said that their Driver Ed class was so boring. I had fun with this class, and would like other people to have the same experience. Also, the instructor was so good about involving us." (A hearing impaired student)
  • It's fun and it doesn't bore you to death like the other Driver Ed schools."
  • I would recommend this course to a friend because I feel that our instructor makes us feel confident that we can do it.
  • Good price for great instruction, the classrooms have nice chairs and mobile tables. The instruction style is very engaging. He has a schedule on the board, he integrates personal stories and teaching and we always receive unit packets.

Effective October 2008, students must have a Learner's Permit to take this course.
