Oregon Driver Training Institute: Reviews

Fantastic experience: I am beyond impressed with this driver’s ed program. As a parent, I went into it feeling nervous — I wasn’t sure how my son would handle long days, especially going straight from four 90-minute school classes into a three-hour Zoom session. I honestly worried it would be overwhelming. But it turned out to be one of the best experiences. The Zoom classes were engaging, upbeat, and surprisingly fun. The instructor has a real gift for connecting with teens — keeping them involved, laughing, and genuinely excited to learn. My son looked forward to logging in every day, and I could hear the energy and enthusiasm coming through the screen. He was actually sad when the classes were over, which says everything. The behind-the-wheel lessons were just as exceptional. His driving instructor was patient, encouraging, and clearly committed to helping each student become a safe, confident driver. The combination of a dynamic classroom experience and thoughtful, calm driving instruction made the program incredibly well-rounded. After the course ended, I had a wonderful conversation with the owner, and it only reinforced how much heart and pride goes into this program. He truly cares about the kids, their growth, and their experience — and it shows in every aspect of how they run things. I would recommend this driver’s ed program to any parent without hesitation. It was supportive, well-organized, surprisingly fun, and genuinely impactful. My son learned so much, but even more importantly, he enjoyed every minute of it.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We know how long those class days can feel, so hearing that your son stayed engaged, had fun, and even looked forward to each session truly means the world to us. Our instructors work hard to make the classroom lively and the behind-the-wheel lessons calm and confidence-building, and your feedback reflects exactly what we strive for.

It was also a pleasure speaking with you after the course. We genuinely care about every student’s experience and growth, and your kind words reaffirm why we do this work.

Thank you again for your trust and for recommending our program. We’re honored to have been part of your son’s driving journey.

Fantastic experience: ODTI has given my daughter the knowledge and confidence to tackle independent driving, and has given me the assurance that I have prepared her for this new responsibility as best I can.

Fantastic experience: My son completed his driver training confident and ready to get his license. He said his instructor was knowledgeable and got a lot out of the classes. Overall I would recommend. The only negative was the scheduling of the drives was incredibly frustrating and communication in the beginning was not the best. Once we got through that, it worked out.

Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope your son enjoys many safe miles on the road ahead.

Fantastic experience: Our son enjoyed the class and instructor. We saw a dramatic increase in knowledge and driving from this class. It is also nice to have someone else teach your kids on this topic, we highly recommend Oregon Driver Training Institute!

Negative experience: This place is not the place to go if your child has trouble learning. The instructor we had was really hard to get ahold of and didn’t keep in touch with us to let us know my child was skipping class on the weekends with his other parent. I do not recommend this place. They put too much responsibility on the student and do not reach out and keep parents in the loop. They also sent over an invoice for $230 but charged $330.

Negative experience: Would've rated 0. - Generally poor communication - Generally poor management - Overall, unhelpful - especially when it comes to answering questions and concerns. Obviously, I say general because I know it doesn't encompass the entire organization but it only takes a bit to ruin the whole bunch. Unfortunate that I made the mistake of using them but you live and learn and make expensive mistakes.

Fantastic experience: my experience was awesome! i was not confident in my driving skills, especially when i first started taking the classes. however my instructor, jesse, was really down to earth with the whole class and helped people learn about driving in a fun way! some classes would be a one-on-one driving session with the instructor and another student, and i really liked that since i was able to get live feedback right away from a professional. i highly recommend these classes to any high schooler, especially those who are worried about driving, jesse really helped me conquer my fears of the road and i will always appreciate them for that!! :)

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with ODTI. Our instructor was Dave, and he went above and beyond training one of our children on the concepts of driving safety and skill development. For parents that desire outside assistance, and can afford the time and cost commitments, we would highly recommend Dave and ODTI.

Negative experience: Poor management and lack of qualified instructors. The DMV no longer requires a written test after obtaining the permit, so save your money and time and avoid this bad place of business.

Negative experience: Awful management and poor service.

Negative experience: Not recommended. They are not clear and honest regarding high school students over the age of 18, their Eugene office staff is incredibly unprofessional, and trying to resolve issues requires contacting the state. Will not use them again for my other child.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for private lessons and it went really well. My instructor was Dave, he stayed calm while I was pretty anxious. He helped me learn the things I needed to get my licence.
