Airway Driving School taught two of my children how to be alert, aware, and responsible drivers. The teachers, driving instructors, and office, all do their best to give your child what is needed to become a safe driver. If I had another teen, I would go back to Airway! |

Well, I've NEVER had a problem with any of the secretaries at AirwayDriving School, especially Mrs.Kasper! She has helped me with my son's busy sports sched, booking his drive time, always a smile on her face while helping two people at once while answering the phone as well! Its always busy, she does her best to help everyone waiting, calls you back when she doesnt have the book, which is alot, and I call and speak with her when asking any questions or needing help! Keep up the good work! |

I finished Airway Driving School a couple years ago and I would like to respond to the student's mother comment. Ms. Kasper is an excellent secretary who has always helped me with my questions with the school as well as preparing me for my own driving test. She always gives out her opinions about how you can never take too many practice tests in preparing for your driving exam and because of her I passed with flying colors. I also had a couple problems with some of the drivers that I went out for lessons and Ms. Kasper made sure I was not put with two instructors that Airway has had problems with. Just like any secretary at any place, everyone has had their ups and downs and I am sure no one is perfect. However, no one should make a comment about a certain secretary working there, especially because secretaries do not make the driving school: instead, the instructors, the learning material, and how many students pass from their school is what should be looked upon. |

I gave a poor review based on only the woman, Ms. Kasper, who works at the desk and that I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with. I had 2 kids enrolled at Airway & Ms. Kasper is extremely rude. She is ALWAYS frustrated, edgy, and irritated. She has no patience for the job she is in. I cannot for the life of me, imagine why the owners of Airway continue to employ her. If anyone asked me if their child should attend this school, I would say I liked the school with the big exception of having to deal with someone like Ms. Kasper. We, the parents, pay a very high price for our child to attend this driving school, although there are others to choose from, and Ms. Kasper should treat us with respect, as I have always treated her when I have had to deal with her. She complains everytime you walk in how busy she is & she cannot help you right now & you'll have to wait. And then when she DOES help you, she makes it very clear you have "bothered" her immensely...when in fact, it is her job to help you & she should seriously consider working someplace where she does not have to work with the public. Hope the owners realize she is NOT an asset to their business...actually, quite the opposite, I am sorry to say. |

They have real classroom teachers,we just don't sit there and watch films, like my friends tell me about their schools. I was very nervous about driving also but the instructor was real kind to me. Everyone there is nice. And I PASSED! |

I'm still in the process of getting my license here. It's a bit expensive - I'm sure the rate just keeps going up and up. This place isn't "excellent" nor "poor" and I have no clue what "average" driving school implies. Kathy is a fine teacher. The staff are pretty helpful. You need 11 different lessons which are held 6-8 mon-thurs and 9-11 on saturdays. Then you have to take two days of written testing. Once you sign up for a lisence date, you can start doing the mandatory 2 computer lessons. You have to sign up for these in advance. You need classes 1 through 5 to schedule the 8 driving hours with an instructor. Hope this helped!! Call their number for any questions. |

Great school - helpful staff, and effective instructors for behind the wheel training - recommend highly. They turn you into safe drivers as well as passing the tests -but you have to study too. |

My third child just completed classes at Airway and passed his test last week. Airway provided excellent training, has classes five days per week which makes it easy to fit into our schedule, and was very responsive to any questions. Scheduling road time was easy as was the DMV test right at the school. My three kids are all driving now and I would definitely use Airway again. |

I was supposed to do the home-study thing to get my license but my mom made last minute plans and signed me up for Airway. At first I hated it, but then I realized they really did teach me so much more than a book or my mom could've. They were nothing but helpful. FIVE STARS |

i wanted to say that i'm currently going to get my license there and they have been nothing but helpful. One teacher kind of rambles off about other things but Kathy is an AMAZING teacher who cares about the safety of her students. She tells us all the time that we're basically her kids and she wants us all to be safe. Ive never had a problem scheduling anything there either. Maybe the student should have gone to the desk like every other student and scheduled things in advance like i did. |

I too have had problems with getting my son driving hours. We were told that he cannot schedule hours until some time in Septemnber. Of course, by that time, the learner's permit expires. Then what?? I found this to be very expensive and he receives no guidance. He has had one hour of driving and needs to have more. They were late two hours picking him up for his lesson when he did have it scheduled. I am so disappointed. |

This has been a total waste of money. My son finished his classes a month ago, and I have not been able to schedule any of the driving hours. I've left numerous calls for the mysterious "owner" to call me back but she has not.
It has been the worst customer experience I have ever had. They wanted all the money up front. I guess they are smart, because I would have gone somewhere else pretty quick. My daughter went to Jerrys in Ansonia, and I would suggest that anyone thinking about Airway, should think again.
My next step will be small claims court, Better Business Bureau, and maybe Mr. Blumenthal.
I have been trying to schedule the 8 hours of driving for 4 weeks and I don't even get the courtesy of a return call.
Think twice before considering this driving school. |
