Negative experience: Edit for the reply to the companies reply. I did try to call. Twice. It went to your answering machine. 2nd how could I have gotten a Pic of the car on the road today if it wasn't driving? 3rd. Look at the logo on the car. Clearly it is north central florida driving academy. 4th is that not your number 5. The driver was a black guy, the one in the new attached photo. 6th. The same exact car is featured on your website.... Looks like the company is now trying to lie it's way out. Don't worry. I'll call tomorrow. Maybe this post will even be shared with the local news. I want to know how your company qualified it's instructors to teach others to drive because the one droving this car broke several road laws. 1. Not leaving enough space between cars while driving 2. Tailgating 3. Not using blinkers 4. Speeding in excess of 10 to 15mph over the posted speed limit 5. Failure to slow down when the speed limit dropped from 55 to 45 6. After #5 he was then speeding by about 20 to 25mph in a 45mph zone I for sure would never hire a company that has a driving instructor who drives like this. Your employee is out here teaching people to drive yet he can't drive himself!

Fantastic experience: Excelente atención la del profesor Eric Estrada, agradecida por todo, se los recomiendo

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Everyone makes the entire experience very comfortable and valiable. Brian went above and beyond in making sure the entire process went smoothly with excellent personalized service. Great work!

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend this academy for anyone interested in learning and trying to receive their driver’s license. There are different options available to choose from like driving lessons or driving test prep. I had my permit license already so I decided to go with driving test prep for two hours. I did practice driving and the student instructor said I was ready. Brian then came as my instructor for the exam. The exam wasn’t too hard and I passed on the first try. I can say for someone who didn’t have much experience driving, to pass on the first try is so amazing! It doesn’t matter the age, just believe in yourself and you can easily pass the driver’s test.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing driving school! Classes are 1-on-1 with patient instructors. I was driving with Kane and after 3 short lessons, I was able to pass my road test!

Fantastic experience: The best driving school in Ocala hands down. If you’re looking for results as a person who is eager to learn, this is the perfect fit for you!!!! I am 17 with no prior driving experience and I just passed my drivers test with 6 hours of driving lessons here!! They do testing at the academy and have student driving cars with safety brakes for the passenger just in case. The teachers here are phenomenal and have real passion to teach their students how to drive SAFELY no matter what. Their teaching style is without a doubt unbeatable and top notch. Thank you for providing such quality NCFDA!!!!

Fantastic experience: Best experience ever I learned how to drive in 2 day. Got my license on the 2 day. I recommend this class to a friend or family member

Fantastic experience: What an awesome experience with North Central Florida Driving Academy, Yadiel, went for his first driving lesson and I could tell his confidence was through the roof and enjoyed himself. I had no doubt that Brian and his instructor would make sure Yadiel passed the drivers test. They are professional, trustworthy, and friendly. I found the lesson prices to be very reasonable!!! I signed up Yadiel, for 6 hrs and they delivered. I highly recommend and trust Brian and his Academy. I give them 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Brian and this academy for very reliable service. Brian provided an exceptional service. I needed to arrange driving lessons for both myself and my 18-year-old son, and we were able to complete our lessons and tests. He corrected all we needed to improve to drive safely and now I feel more confident driving on any road as well as parking and turning. My son had a great experience and Brian made him very comfortable during lessons and the test. My son and I had a remarkable experience, as Brian's teaching approach made us feel completely at ease during the lessons and the subsequent test.

Fantastic experience: Our family had a great experience with NCFLDA. My daughter had a lesson with Mr. Adrian McRay in Gainesville, who thoroughly reviewed with her what she would encounter on her driving exam. He was very encouraging. She then took the test with Mr. Brian Follett, who put her at ease and made it a painless process. The whole team at NCFLDA was very communicative with me while we determined the best process for my daughter to take lessons and her exam. I highly recommend this business for driving lessons. I called around to a few other places, and NCFLDA was the most friendly and most accommodating.

Fantastic experience: This company is amazing! Mr. McCray was my sons driving instructor. Not only was he professional he made my son feel more comfortable and confident behind the wheel.

Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My examiner was Brian and he is a very chill guy. I was nervous to take my road test but he made me feel comfortable, he’ll basically talk to you like if he’s your friend. He knows how to calm your anxiety down. Over all a very nice guy. Whoever is planning to learn how to drive or to get your license, this is the place, 100% recommend. Really, just don’t be nervous at all, it’s faster than you think it is! I easily passed!!

Fantastic experience: Mr. Brian was amazing! My son enjoyed the interaction, the step by step instruction, and the easy relaxed atmosphere. It was also a bonus that he was able to take the actual driving test with this group and not have to go to the DMV with an unfamiliar person to drive with.
