Certified Driving School

Fantastic experience: We had such a wonderful experience! Larry is an amazing teacher, very knowledgeable and supportive. They walked us through the whole process, from getting a permit to getting a license for our teenager. A big thank you to Larry and the staff at Certified Driving School! We highly recommend their service!

Fantastic experience: Amazing school, great teachers / driving instructors, well organized program, great pricing ! Owners are amazing! Larry was amazing with my kids!

Negative experience: My son did drivers ed through them. All went well with that. We did the driving test through them as well and opted out of the extra pre trip 45 min refresher that cost another 60 on top of the 60 for the driving test itself. Because we didn’t want to do the extra, Larry failed my son. He was rude and condescending when talking to him. Even said he was an “unsafe driver”. My son drove us all over the the USA when he had his permit….thousands of miles. He knows what he’s doing. Literally went to OHP right away after he failed my son and did another drivers test…..he passed with flying colors and the guy at OHP even said there’s nothing unsafe about the way my son drives and said he drives better than 90% of people in Enid. So if you don’t spend the extra money on the 45 min refresher before the drivers test through the driving school, they lose out on money and will fail you. I have talked to several people since then that said they had the same issue. Just want others to be cautious when deciding where to take their drivers test.

Fantastic experience: Larry was amazing. Patient and informative to my teen driver. He was so great at putting her at ease before her test as well. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Larry was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend his school to others. This is far better to obtain your driver's license through Certified Driving School than the DPS.

Fantastic experience: Certified Driving School was amazing. My daughter learned so much. Nervous at first, she has become a relaxed and confident driver. She did great on her driving test. When it was over, the examiner asked who taught her to parallel park so well. She answered with pride, Larry from Certified! The man said, “well, that explains why she did knew so much!” I was so proud of her and I feel so much better about my baby driving since she had such excellent teachers. This has been a great experience. There’s not enough stars! My other two kids will be going to Certified when they are ready. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: My Son took me for a drive around town today after taking the driving class with Certified Driving School and getting his permit at Enid DPS. He did excellent, thank you Larry Swendell!!!!! :)

Fantastic experience: Larry is the best driving instructor in Enid. In a few short hours was able to teach my son how to parallel park, reverse, and do a 3 point turn, just to name a few. He gave my son a practice test before his real one and he PASSED his real test!!

Fantastic experience: I loved this program a lot! For classroom learning, we watched colorful videos that made it easy to learn. We didn’t have to read long sheets of paper to learn the rules because we were able to learn visually. That aspect was a huge help to me. Also, I enjoyed the personal driving lesson. Originally, I was extremely nervous, but it was low pressure and had a very supportive atmosphere. Thank you for the fantastic lesson!

Fantastic experience: Learned under Swindell, Upstanding and Professional. Was always hard on me, but when the test came I was prepared and once I got my first car I was able to make my hour communes safely.

CDS even has free snacks and a free T shirt to remember the experience with.

Fantastic experience: I liked this class because he actually taught us and also put on a slide show to help us understand it better. At other places they just put on a slide show and make you watch it. I would highly recommend coming here.

Fantastic experience: The way Coach Larry taught the class was really awesome! There were videos and visual explanations of the proper ways to drive. It was very informative and easy to follow.

We also got a t shirt when we were finished. I made new friends and left there with my Completion Certificate which gets me my permit! No need to take my permit test at the DPS, just the eye test!

Fantastic experience: they’re a family-run Christian business…..i’m grateful for this. very professionally run with an “easy-to-relate” classroom experience. the teacher has been in education for the majority of his career and it does show. i’m also verrrrry thankful for the price of the course as it made it much easier to afford than all of the other choices for driving schools. i know the kids need these driving courses (it was free in my day, ha!)…..so affordability is paramount. it was a fun time with great staff!!!

Fantastic experience: Larry helped our son be a more confident driver after his first driving lesson. Larry instills teaching safety and awareness while driving. Larry is very professional and friendly. You won’t be disappointed!!! Very good quality and a very reasonable price!!

Our son came home after both days of the weekend course excited about what he learned in class. You will be very pleased with this course plus the price is
