I just had my third (and last) child complete lessons My first child had first time We made a mistake in having my 2nd go with another school for the 6hrs then having first time driving give him the instruction that made him a much better driver and saved my nerves The 3rd had first time and i highly recommend them You should never compromise when it comes to your children

My experience with first time driving was horrible. The instructor was very impatient and got mad at everything i did. He would give me attitude at almost every move i made. i am home in tears and still dread thinking about it. i now have no confidence in myself and i do not want to go in another car for a long while. i do not recommend this school to anyone!! |

I turned 16 on June 15 and started to call and try to make appointments for a few days after my birthday but they haven't even called me back about it. I am eager to get my permit but am very upset with the service. If I had gotten one call back I would be pleased but this is unacceptable |

My daughter had Al for a teacher. I was very happy with him. My daughter is very shy and was reluctant to learn how to drive but Al made her feel very comfortable and she became a very confident driver. I don't know what problems that other parent and child had. The owner Martin is very nice and approachable. This is a professional school which I highly recommend. I wouldn't trust my child with anyone else. |

You will see several different kinds of ratings for this school because they assign different instructors according to the area where you live. The instructor in my area taught my older daughter. She was rough and tended to yell a lot at the kids but she got the job done. If you are sensitive, this is not the school for you for sure. Now for my older daughter I have been calling and calling and they never send the paperwork needed to start classes. I have been calling for five weeks now. Do yourself a favor, and go somewhere else. |

I have nothing but nice things to say about the guys who work for this school. People be patient, after all you want the same with them while they instruct your son/daughter. My daughter had two different instructors, one for her six hours and one for an hour review lesson. Both guys were friendly, and made my daughters time enjoyable. Thank you first time driving.

I would HIGHLY recommend this school. All of my phone calls were returned within several hours. The driving instructor was very pleasant and patient. Very punctual. Completed six hours driving lessons in one week's time, and 2-1/2 weeks after my daughter's 16th birthday. The owner was very responsible and anxious to satisfy me. |

My daughter had a great experience. I had full confidence with their instructors. I researched a lot of schools and found this one to be the most reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn't trust my daughter with anyone else. My daughters friends also had wonderful experiences with this school. Highly recommended. |

I was very happy with this driving school. The owner and the instructors were very helpful and knowledgable. They helped my daughter learn to drive and they took her for her driving test. I will be using them again for sure when my son is of age to drive. |

I was very nervous about driving. i had never drove before but the instructor was very nice. he explained everything to me really well and made me feel that it was OK that i didn't know anything, that is why I took the lessons. I would highly recommend. |

My early posting on 7/31 was the 1st lesson was poor., nothing but yelling by the Insturctor Angie. After talking to the owner Martin he explained that if the driver is going off the road or about to hit something her voice will rise. He invited my wife to ride with my daughter on the second lesson and everything was much better. The 3rd day my daughter drove on the highway and got her permit. Maybe my reaction to my daughter's first lesson were a little too hasty. over all lessons were helpful. |

My Daugher's first time behind the wheel today and she returned in tears! The Instructor had absolutely no patients and yelled at her for the entire 2 hours. The instructor made her nervous and left her in fear of driving. I would not recommend first time driving school they are supposed to teacher new drivers not scream at them! |

This is the best driving school. I learned so much. The instructor was great he was a certified teacher. I started my lessons right away. My learners permit was bought on my 16th birthday and a week later my lessons began. I don't know what that other reviewer is talking about. Every time I called I received a phone call back right away. I highly recommend. |

I strongly disagree with the comment below me.
They are all professional highschool teachers they do an outstanding job with the large clientel they are given. My call was returned within a week and as long as the correct information and phone numbers are given they willrespond with haste. Irecommend them to anyone who would like to get their permit as quickly as possible. |

If you enroll with First Time Driving School you are making a big mistake. They will not get back to you until months after your child's 16th birthday. When you call there...they never call back. I do nOT recommend this driving school to anyone that wants to get their permit with in at least 6 months because with them it will take forever. |
