Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Mr. Frederick! He helped my daughter gain her confidence back in driving! The behind-the-wheel lessons are totally worth it. He provided valuable tips that helped my daughter pass her road skills test on her first try!

Negative experience: unprofessional in trying to get information. not willing to communicate thru text in a professional way by making me wait 30 mins for a response to a question and only responded to me after I texted them back asking for a response.

Negative experience: Y'all must be on crack!! $360 plus $150 for driving classes?? Am I reading that correctly? Where do you think people under the age of 18 is getting that kind of money? Especially when your family comes from poverty!!

Negative experience: Ken cares deeply about his work and about training students to be safe drivers. However, Academy of Driving made a scheduling error and handled the resolution of such extremely rudely. It was also a struggle to get clear communication about end times each day.

To Ms. Zealand’s credit, there was one day that a message was sent to Ms. Zealand showing a day and the date. The day and the number on the calendar didn’t coincide. Yes, we made a calendar error and that’s rare. Did Academy of Driving flex and massage the schedule to satisfy Ms. Zealand’s multiple requests? Yes!
Ken’s relationship with the Zealand family has always been a good and positive one. Ms. Zealand is right. Ken does deeply care about his work and about training students to be safe drivers.
Academy of Driving holds true to the positive values toward all of their students to help them understand and reduce risks, avoid tickets and crashes and arrive alive every time they drive.

Academy of Driving will always work with parents and students to provide reasonable assistance to accomplish the objective.

Fantastic experience: My daughter just completed the course to get her driver's license. Mr Frederick is very professional and you can tell he is passionate and cares for the safety of young drivers. My daughter said she learned a lot and feels she will be a better driver because of class.

Negative experience: I've tried to get of hold of them so many times. They're very unprofessional. I emailed them and texted them, all i wanted was infromation about the course and where it would be located. They couldn't tell me that? I dont understand they want money but cant pick up the phone. I get that people get busy but if other companies willing to answer the phone and tell me about the course in a polite way then y'all can too. If you like waiting for almost 2 weeks then academy of driving is for you.

Zach Phillips 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I learned some lifelong skills here I wouldn't have learned anywhere else! Mr. Frederick is an amazing teacher as well as roll model. He taught us skills that they do not teach in the public school system and helped me increase my confidence behind the wheel.

Joseph Ruck 7 years ago

Negative experience: Back when I took the in car driving course, I was met with a very angry Mr Fredrick. Between yelling at me (while not driving), and saying vulgar phrases to the other minor learner in my car, I really didn't enjoy my time there to be honest. Definitely am never going to recommend this driving school to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Top notch driver training.

Philip Fulgham 11 years ago

Fantastic experience: I received behind-the-wheel training as an adult student, and I was highly impressed with the focus on safety. The quality of the training provided is excellent; it goes way above and beyond the basics of the road skills test. There is also a distinct emphasis on teaching the best available driving techniques, and I really liked that. The instructors are very knowledgable and trustworthy. You can tell they really care about developing responsible young drivers, and they're very good at it.
