Safety First Driver Education

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Excellent instruction

Fantastic experience: Craig was great my son really enjoyed having him as an instructor.

Fantastic experience: Craig, Jon and Nancy are great instructors! Very easy to talk to and work with! I was a few minutes late to dropping my child off for driving time and they were nothing but understanding about it. And my lateness was out of my control and typically being late is not tolerated. This stood out to me. They were very kind. My child had nothing but good things to say about the classes and everything that he learned! Some things that stood out were some of the videos they watched, about always checking your surroundings because you could potentially run someone over.. that stuck with my child.. and in my own opinion I think was a great learning tool! Something they hopefully will always have in the back of their mind. (No bad images were shown he said, but it’s something that got his attention) As well as the ease and comfort my child felt with each class and driving time! Driving and observing were always a good experience! I will continue to use safety first drivers ed in the future for my children. 6 more years for my second child to be enrolled! I look forward to the next one! Thanks safety first drivers education for providing my child with the knowledge they need to be a safe and knowledgeable driver! - I highly recommend them to any future driver! Classes went by so fast! Very humbled by the experience. Excellent work and great job! Thank you again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Outstanding experience for our child, she enjoyed it and benefited from the mix of classroom time and behind the wheel. Instructor team of Criag Thomas and his assistant were fantastic. Convenient that there is a cafe/restaurant below the classroom as well for parents to hang out while class is in session. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: My son recently completed a driver’s education course through Safety First, and I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. This program far exceeded my expectations, offering a comprehensive and supportive approach to preparing new drivers for the road. Before starting the course, my son had already completed the mandatory 40 driving hours required by the state. This early preparation gave him the confidence to focus on mastering the rules of the road, which the course reinforced exceptionally well. From beginning to end, the program was thoughtfully designed to address every critical aspect of safe driving. The curriculum covered fundamental driving techniques and progressed to advanced skills like highway merging and defensive driving. Beyond teaching the mechanics of operating a vehicle, the course emphasized essential topics such as traffic laws, road sign recognition, and situational awareness—all crucial for responsible driving. Craig, the instructor, went above and beyond to ensure families stayed on track with their required driving hours. His dedication and personalized approach made the process seamless and stress-free. Thanks to Craig’s guidance, my son was well-prepared and passed both his road and knowledge tests at the DMV on the first attempt—with flying colors! I’m incredibly grateful to Craig and the team at Safety First for their commitment to teaching the next generation of drivers. This program is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a thorough and engaging driver’s education experience. Thank you, Craig, for helping us navigate this important milestone with confidence and success! You'll see my younger son in a few years! :)

Fantastic experience: Accommodated my busy teen’s schedule as best they could to get her drive times!

Fantastic experience: My son liked the class and hours were perfect for the summer

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Safety First! Craig and his crew is amazing! They are patient, informative, flexible and amazing! We have been incredible happy with all aspects! Can not say enough great things about this company! I am so glad we choose here over everywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Different from the Standard driving School would definitely recommend. The people are nice and helpful.

Fantastic experience: My daughter really enjoyed taking this class found it to be very informative i plan on using this same class for my other two teenagers when the time comes!!! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I would HIGHLY recommend Safety First Driver Education. We had an excellent experience with Craig and his staff. From day one, signing up online was quick and easy. There were plenty of class times to choose from, the location could not be more convenient. The website is very user friendly. Scheduling, Drive times and Classroom notes were always up to date and Craig was always very good with Communication. My son gained so much knowledge during his time at Safety First and he has great respect for all of his instructors. You will NOT be disappointed with Safety First!!

Fantastic experience: Great Instructor! He completed a task I did not think was possible. My son is now a licensed driver.

Fantastic experience: My student was well prepared for driving with this course. Communication and expectations were clear, replies to questions and scheduling driving hours were prompt. My student felt confident and informed after taking this course.

Fantastic experience: I just finished this course and not only was it informative but it was completely manageable to complete. The instructor did a wonderful job of educating us on all topics of driving while breaking down harder concepts. Additionally, there has been flexibility for up to two absences per course and understanding for multiple occasions when I have had to arrive later than expected. During the drive times there is multiple levels of progressive education, they start from step one and work their way up with the driver. I absolutely will continue to recommend this course to anyone interested in drivers education. One notable highlight for me could be when there was an interactive visit with a real police officer. Thank you so much for this wonderful course Craig!

Fantastic experience: Had an awesome time! Mr. Thomas was very helpful and understanding when teaching about driving. I would recommend him for new drivers!

Fantastic experience: Safety First Driver Education is a great option for your child to start learning to drive! Within a week of classes I gained the confidence to drive town to town, the school is very developed for how long it’s been open!! Class was very engaging/enjoyable and Craig is a very enthusiastic person who is determined to make sure you leave with confidence. Thank you Craig and various driving instructors, 100% recommend. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Organized and very easy to complete. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I would HIGHLY recommend Safety first driver education! I feel my son has grown so confident in his driving abilities and I feel safe with him being on the road now! I have seen his skills improve so much, he's even teaching me some things!

Fantastic experience: Great people they know what’s up. Cool new instructors coming up as well!!!

Fantastic experience: Our family had a great experience with Safety First! My child really enjoyed the class. Craig’s teaching style kept the students engaged. The instructors are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Craig replied very quickly to any questions we had and it was easy to schedule the drive times.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Safety First. My son has high anxiety, so my husband and I were nervous about how he would do in driver's ed. Craig and his partners were incredibly patient and supportive. Our son had a very positive experience, and even commented that he could not have asked for a better instructor.

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience all around, from start to finish. Great communication, our son was focused, passed his test with ease and confidence on the 1st try. I would recommend Craig & his team 100%!!! thanks for the new driver and gray hairs!!

Fantastic experience: Best experience for the kids. On schedule, thorough instruction/experience, and local.

Fantastic experience: Craig is a cool guy and a really good teacher. i enjoyed my experience at safety first very much.

Fantastic experience: My son enjoyed learning to drive with Craig and Dave. He was able to schedule drive times and we could view feedback easily. It all set him up for success.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience in Craig’s class. 5/5 would recommend to anyone interested in getting their license!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so kind, the instructions made learning how to drive so much fun! I recommend

Fantastic experience: My son had the best experience!

Fantastic experience: Craig and staff were impressive! My new driver left every class and behind the wheel time happy and with more knowledge. The online schedule was very helpful in scheduling drive time and Craig was very good at communicating with my student and I. I highly recommend Safety First to anyone looking for a driving school.

Fantastic experience: Craig is very enthusiastic about teaching teens how to be safe drivers. Drive times were easy to schedule, and you could schedule in advance (I’ve heard about some places only letting students schedule 1 week in advance- this was not the case here). Craig was easy to work with and tried to accommodate when able. Most of the class was from Northwood (Coe-Brown) or Deerfield (Concord High School), so he would have some drive times scheduled to pick up at those schools. My daughter was the only student from Dover High School, so it wouldn’t make sense for her to be picked up there. Although I am sure if I asked about it, Craig would have attempted to accommodate the request. On multiple occasions he had picked up and/or dropped off at our house in Nottingham. I would recommend Safety First Driver Education!

Fantastic experience: Great company, they worked very hard to reschedule driving times with the spring snow storms this year and made it all work.

Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful atmosphere for my child to learn. The instructors are great!

Fantastic experience: Great school would recommend for beginner drivers. My son learned how to be a safe and responsible driver. Will be back when my other children are of age. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Safety First was a experience for me. Really enjoyed the time here. All the instructors were patient with me when I did drive times. I still have some left but It was okay. Really great time and I hope to send my kids here. P.S Im not 18. just saying something.

Fantastic experience: Safety First Drivers Ed prepared my teen well for the written and road test through the DMV. Craig was thorough in teaching the rules and safety of driving. I'm grateful that this milestone was a great experience. I highly recommend Safety Frist Drivers Education for your teen.

Fantastic experience: First time having to sign up a child for Driver's Ed. I appreciated the two day/week class schedule as my daughter works and plays travel softball and is pretty booked. They were also able to schedule their drive times easily through the app. Had a positive experience and am very pleased with Craig and his fellow teammates at Safety First!

Fantastic experience: This is a great driving school. My son was so unmotivated to take the class, but at the end he said he was going to miss it. There were many behind-the-wheel appointments so I was able to find times that worked for us. I highly recommend for students beginning to drive. They will come out prepared to take the exam and pass it.

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about Craig and the staff at Safety First. Like any young, new driver, our son was very nervous to get behind the wheel with an instructor. After his 1st drive he was so at ease and couldn't wait to go again. Last night was their final and my son said the kids were sad that it was ending as they had formed a bit of a bond over the course of the class. They even had a chat group. My son really enjoyed chatting with the instructor as he was able to relate to a lot of topics during their drive times. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Craig and his assistants. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The instructors were very knowledgeable and patient teachers. My daughter loved the class learned a lot and was very happy with the instructors. Highly recommend and will be bringing my son here when it's his time to get his license.

He was very flexible and accommodating to our son's soccer schedule for his driving times. We are more than pleased with the experience with Safety First. Thank you Craig !

Fantastic experience: Craig made drivers ed such a smooth experience! The schedule was very manageable and he was very wonderful getting drive time completed!

Fantastic experience: Our son just completed his driver’s education course with Safety First, and we couldn’t be more pleased. As a student, he felt confident going into the final exam, which is a testament to the quality of instruction throughout the course. As parents, we appreciated the website, in particular the parent/student portal that is very easy to navigate, track progress, schedule drive times, etc. Overall, a great experience and we highly recommend Safety First Driver Education.

Fantastic experience: Top notch driving school - well organized, convenient, and overall a great experience. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Craig was great, very communicative and flexible. When my daughter scheduled a time we couldn't get her to the business to drive he was able to switch things up and pick her up at home. I would recommend him to anyone entering the crazy driving world with their teen!

Fantastic experience: My son attended The Safety First driving school and we both couldn’t be happier. The schedule was extremely conducive for my son’s athletic schedule. My son passed his written and driving test on the first try. His examiner said he could tell that he went to a great driving school because he did so well. This is my third child going through driver’s education in three years, and we are so happy that Safety First opened its doors when our third child was ready to take a class because it gave us a better option for Driver’s Ed than our other two kids. My fourth child will be sure to sign up with them in 18 months. I highly recommend Safety First!

Fantastic experience: High quality instruction, professional and organized. I highly recommend Safety First!

Fantastic experience: Loved every minute of class and looked forward to them all week. Craig and Dave were awesome and learned a lot from them. I feel very prepared to take on driving alone. My parents recommend Safety First to everyone we know, Thank you so much to both Craig and Dave.

Fantastic experience: If you want your child to have the BEST classroom experience for drivers ed, send them to safety first. Dave and Craig are the coolest dudes in the whole world and they really worked with me to make sure I could pass drivers Ed and I passed on the first try. Definitely try safety first driving out!!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors and program!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, great course!! My son enjoyed both the drive and classroom experience.

Fantastic experience: My daughter just finished her class yesterday and she thanked me for signing her up with Craig she loved the way he trained in every way from the classroom to driving. When I was bringing her to her last class she said she was going to miss the class. It was easy to setup drive times and whenever I had questions Craig responded super fast. We will definitely be recommending Safety first to everyone we know.

Fantastic experience: Safety First was fantastic for my daughter! Great timing for classes, great location, and clear communication from the staff.
