holy sh-t. it's as if this course took a driver's ed manual and put each sentence on a different slide that you have to click through. Hundreds (thousands?) of redundant, one sentence slides - and you have to click through every. single. one. Interspersed with videos that you can not fast forward through and one question quizzes that you can't skip. then quizzes for every chapter. then finally, the final test. But to get to it, you have to get through layers of testing. I curse the person who wrote the stupid article listing this as one of the fastest online traffic schools. Definitely not. f-ck that person. and f-ck this online traffic school. read more

This online course took my son forever to get through. He said it was exceptionally boring and 'cringe.' He hated it so much it took him months to finish. Once finished they take a last opportunity to grab some more $ by saying that you can wait 5-12 business day for them to mail out the certificate of completion or expedite it for $25. First of all, how is this not printable and second, are they planning to walk it to us? 12 days!!! We will find a better course when it is time for other kids. read more

They signed us up for a roadside service for $5/mo without our permission.  Very unethical.

The only positive thing about Aceable is having a UI that doesn't make it seem like the website was made in 3 hours. Unfortunately, everything else does. Horrible customer service and half of the information they teach you in the hundred page lessons are just "fun facts" that you could go without knowing and not knowing it would have no impact on your driving skill. On top of paying $115 for the parent taught course, they make you pay extra if you want the option to have the text read aloud. On the final checklist they send you, as of 6/20/2022, they straight up don't tell you that in order for you to get your provisional license, you need to bring your birth certificate. They do however tell you to bring your Social Security Card which they never end up asking for. If there is another alternative, I'd recommend that. read more

Texas Online Defensive Driving Course needs serious editing, as it took approximately 12 hours including a 1-hour break for lunch. That is 2X the duration of other courses, so I wouldn't recommend this one. Much of the material was presented redundantly 2 or 3 times, and sometimes repeated yet again in another section just for good measure. The material presented often made no distinction between Aceable-recommended driving rule-of-thumb versus Texas State Law. For example there was a statement that the left lane was for passing only (does that include 30mph driving through our subdivision?), you should never pass on the right (true but is that a ticket-able offense?), you should never park on shoulder unless vehicle has broken down (law?), you should stay with an injured animal (how long do I hang with that rabid squirrel?), you should carry a flashlight (recommendation?), etc. As much as material was repeated, additional material could still be added: For example, there was no mention whatsoever of the the TX Motorist Protection Act allowing a handgun to be carried in vehicles (is that OK when waiting in the Carpool Lane?). There was no mention of cellphone law in school zones (is bluetooth OK?). There were no examples of multiple turn lanes (can both right-turn-only lanes turn right on red or just the far right one?). There was no mention of where to find tire pressure (on the door frame, NOT on the tire), and to always check pressure when cold. There was no mention of cars that come with a can of stop-leak instead of a spare tire. There was no mention of Texas annual vehicle inspections (and what is checked during such an inspection). There was no mention of a front license plate (law?). And are bicycles legally allowed on sidewalks? Material said that "Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right-of-way", but in a later section that "Pedestrians must use the crosswalk, otherwise vehicles have the right-of-way". Which is it? The chapters on jump-starting a car battery said "don't worry it can't kill you" but fails to alert students that a spark on a battery post (e.g. if directions aren't followed) could cause a car battery to explode, sending sulfuric acid in all directions. There was no mention of symptoms of a dead battery (if engine cranks then it's not the battery). Aceable was very quick to mail completion certificate (mailed it the same day as I completed the course, and I received it in next day's mail). Course worked fine on PC, and using apps for iPad and iPhone. Didn't encounter any issues with two users in the same household taking class in parallel. I liked having the option of having the material read aloud to me. I could have done without the "sale countdown timer" when purchasing the course, e.g. price will go up $10 if you don't purchase in the next so-many minutes, tik tok tik... I also would have liked to see some example course material before purchasing, but there is a money-back guarantee if you don't like it after you start (unless you fail to get 3 out of 4 questions correct on one of the 11 exams [your money is lost after 3 failed attempts]). I would never choose the Aceable course again due to its long duration versus other options. read more

Worst course ever, all the amazing ratings are bought and fake. Look at all the real reviews say the same thing. Excessive content and its a BIG lie when they say it can be done in 6hours, more like 30hrs. Useless jokes and puns, several on the offensive side and boorish. read more

Horrible customer support. It's all via email and takes days to get a response. Website won't let you change password. Won't even let me look at my account profile. Do not waste your money. read more

My teen finished their driving school and it was all right, but now Aceable is charging me $5 a month for "roadside assistance" that I never asked for. They refuse to stop new charges and refuse to refund me the existing charges. Infuriating. Working through the dispute with my credit card company. read more

The course is completely fine BUT BEWARE of the scammy $5 per month "roadside assistance" which they automatically sign you up for, knowing that you will forget to cancel it. If you're signing up a teenager, chances are they are NOT DRIVING and don't need this service. Shame on you Aceable. read more

This company is absolutely terrible. A technical problem resulted in my completion of the teen drivers permit course instead of the traffic violators course, and the company refuses to take responsibility. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. There are so many traffic school online options. Don't waste your time or money on this terrible organization. read more

Liar liar pants on fire. Just used them to dismiss a ticket. Lied to from min one. The app is glitchy and takes about twice as long as they say. The info is way outdated and largely inaccurate. They are also not allowed to email certificates to the court. They screw you on shipping it. They are so horrible I can't even express it. They will tell you all company's have to do it this way. Nope. They seem to be the only one. Just waiting to see how they are going to screw me over now that I'm finished and had to purchase expedited shipping to avoid more court contact. read more

Update: They actually completed one of the orders within the time frame to help our situation. Without being able to communicate with each other they couldn't provide good customer service to me, even though the action was completed, the service reps were disconnected. Original 1-star review: read more

Aceable is a HORRIBLE company! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! They have lousy customer service. I purchased the $125.00 Parent Taught Course and I cannot get ahold of anyone to help me with questions and concerns. They only do business by email. This method is very vague and never is communicated by a live person, only auto responses! I am asking for a refund, but will probably get the runaround and delay! Very dissatisfied! read more

This company is absolutely terrible. A technical problem and so much more problem you will head. for Real Estate Courses? go to champion. You Get What You Pay For. read more

Had to call customer support to help fix something we had done... Before I could finish explaining the situation the person handling my call had fixed it. I've never experienced anything like this! It almost makes me want to adopt all of my neighbors' kids so I can use their products and services again. read more

Terrible. Tons of legal jargon: beware! There's a monthly charge until you cancel. Complete ripoff and I found it misleading.

Very arduous and slow. I don't know why some reviewers on different sites state that is it fast. It takes many hours and lots of clicks to get through it. If you have time and don't mind relatively inane slides, then you will learn important facts. read more

I am a teenager trying to get their permit, and Aceable is decent. Very nice website and easy to configure unlike the boring websites that use one large piece of text you read. Great app as well. Although this course is very long around 40 hours, but 50% of it is useless stuff California makes them put in, so I skipped most of it. Overall, I would recommend to you guys if you're looking for something that is relatively affordable and good hud. read more

I ranned into an issue , but managed to resolve it after paying an extra 10$ to download my required documents , and only afterwards did they message me with a solution , but by that time it was too late I had resolved ot on my own. read more

Good luck trying to reach someone for customer service. I have tried several days in a row, during normal business hours, and can not reach anyone, either by their online chat or phone. read more

Aceable is PHENOMENAL!! I did the online defensive driving and had a great experience with it. Speedy and straight to the point. Satya with CS was amazing and super helpful-- answered my questions fast and correct, thanks Satya!! Thank you all at Aceable again :) read more

TERRIBLE! I cannot resolve my issue. The phone number is bogus. I cannot EVER get through. I've emailed SO MANY times trying to resolve an issue. I bought the program, linked my daughters account and now it wants her to pay. A 5 minute call could resolve the issue but I'm a month into emails and no solution. I will be asking for refund and my daughter will have have to start all over. Very frustrating. read more

Worst driving permit school ever! Do not use it! Their website won't allow us to get the permit he had to work way too hard to get. Just ridiculous. read more

The course was fine and the price seemed reasonable, but be aware that they'll continue billing your credit card $5/mo for some subscription roadside assistance baloney that may be in the fine print. Clearly a deceptive trade practice. UPDATE: Aceable did refund the all the money that they had charged for the cleverly crafted roadside assistance deception...I don't think I'm exaggerating this point. So sincerely, thank you Aceable for reversing the charges, but still shame on you for conducting this type of business in the first place. read more

Very deceptive practices, in the end they get the full price everyone else charges. Fee for this fee for that. Fee for emailing document but if you want it sent it is free. Also auto charge you for third party services. Sometimes what looks good on value is not what you always get and this company is one to avoid. read more

I would give them a zero or a negative star if I could. The information on the website is not even accurate. Never got the permit as promised after the course completion!! Call and put on hold for HOURSSSSSSSS and ended up giving up. We tried the chat feature and was informed we will get a text but nothing, did not hear from anyone. I should have read the reviews before signing up, they are terrible and the good reviews are fake!!! If you have money and time to waste then sign up with them! read more

I've taken about 20 drivers safety courses (embarrassingly) and I always take defensivedriving.com so this time decided to switch it up but im only halfway through and I've been working on this thing ALL DAY with aceable! it is DEFINITELY not 6 hours!! The questions are random and don't pertain to real life, (who drives in a roundabout in America?!?!) and they jokes aren't even CLOSE to funny! Please go with ANY other program.. i read some blog saying this was the best program but I'm now positive that guy was paid by aceable.. ridiculous! read more

TAKES FOREVER!!! Do not do this program!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 hours of stupid ass content that is a waste of time, jokes and lots of unnecessary stuff. I am on my 4th day of nonstop videos and slides. There is NO WAY around watching all of it, you cannot fast forward. I do not recommend this program. Their intentions are good but it is just NOT for me. read more

Really easy to follow! And the course didn't look like the average 1970's defensive driving videos and content that I am used to. Aceable definitely made defensive driving tolerable I highly recommend Aceable for defensive driving!! read more

DD is not fun; it's like a chore. But very happy I chose Aceable to help me through it. They brought humor and knowledge to something I didn't want to do. Would recommend! read more

Worst Service.. .pls b careful. They dont come back to you when YOU really need somethings. Money Eater ! my son is really in trouble now and noone there to help him. They simply said, "we are sorry we can't help". If I would have less than one star I definitely mentioned Quarter or 1/16 or may be ZERO STAR for them. read more

Aceable will sign you up for a $5 month roadside assistance without permission. Their website has a very misleading link that basically says "email with the billing email you signed up with and we'll cancel your subscription." However the response you get is that your email is invalid. There is no one to talk to but they offer an email address. Guess what? Someone replies with the link for your email address, the same link that bounces back invalid. I see replies below regarding some gibberish about paying full price or a discounted price. I did pay full price and they still signed me up for $5 a month subscription. I suggested via email that they might need my credit card information, since obviously they have that information to bill me but I received no response back. read more

WARNING: Credit card fraudulent charges happened after the use of online payment of aceable course. My experience was two attempting fraudulent charges on my credit card one month after the card was used ONLY for paying their online driving safety course (that wasn't used for any others). I can't tell if the hacking was the fault of using their website. I just give the fact that the fraudulent charge was happened after the use of online payment to their course and warn the online users to be aware of it. I fortunately got the warning Text from the credit card about two fraudulent charges within one day, one was Target.com and another was Bestbuy.com, I rejected it and the card was then blocked. P.S.: It's true as many users complained here that the discounted price for the course is a very tricky one that if you buy the roadside service, it's confusing that many users weren't aware of that trick and got charged. Just clearly tell the public the regular price on your web. I was charged $44 for the online driving safety course. Also, dishonestly telling just 6 hours to complete the online course, just trick you in to pay their courses. Well, tricky Biz is everywhere, it doesn't mean it's OK for you also to do it unethically. I won't recommend it. read more

Finally done with this! The app was ok and convenient but thought that would I never complete the course. (And I waited till the last minute-don't do what I did). It was like the counter to complete it didn't move! And the videos, my goodness the videos, just give me a text only option next time and take out the robot. read more

Very unhappy with my experience with Aceable! Nowhere on their pages does it tell you that you have to pay the State of Texas $20 to register to use their program. They just state repeatedly that the offer "EVERYTHING" you need for your child to get their permit and their license. They also will take 1-2 days to send you an e-mail so you can receive a refund and then tell you it will take an additional 10-12 to receive your refund. read more

I took the 18+ driving course and finishing this course was easy, breezy, beautiful. I love that they have a mobile drivers ed app, it makes it easier for me and my busy life to get my license. The staff is very helpful too. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! My 15 year old got her permit on Friday due to Aceable.com! The process was very easy and aceable allowed us to do the parent-taught driver's ED, where she takes all of her classroom tutorials online then proceeds to take the actual driving road signs test. She passed with a 100, and we proceeded to go pick up her permit at the Texas DPS. All she had to do there was take a vision test. Just make sure you have all of your paperwork ready + $16 and your child will bring home a permit! Aceable emailed her certificate within 24 hours of completing her road test. THANK YOU ACEABLE! I will definitely use them again for my other 3 kids. read more

I could not imagine a better service for something that is usually so dreaded. I was looking for the least painful way possible to get a Drivers Ed certificate after moving to TX recently as an under-25-year-old. I am so happy I stumbled upon Aceable on one of the DPS websites. The course was super interactive, informative, and catered well to the humor of teenagers (I felt a little old for that part but I can see how it makes the content relatable). After having taken numerous in-classroom Drivers Ed courses (the certificates expire yearly in NYC and I just never took my road test), this was truly a breath of fresh air. I took the course, took the test, and the certificate came right when it was supposed to. They even gave me a link to track the package. Aceable goes above and beyond what most people think of Drivers Ed courses and I feel so lucky I found them. Highly recommend! read more

My experience with ACE was outstanding. I spent most of my life overseas and never had a need to learn to drive or get my own vehicle, so I never bothered. I'm 25 now and I had no idea what I was supposed to do or what it would be like to apply, no friends or family here to really guide me either. I feel like ace gave me clear cut instruction and how to proceed. The lessons were a bit tedious, but a lot more innovative and probably more interesting then a regular 6-7 hour class. When I finished, ACE gave a list of what to bring and how to proceed in the DPS. Because of them I only spent 20 minutes in the office and didn't have any issues (the cubicle next to mine were shouting at the poor lady processing them, yelling "no one told me we needed to this or that") read more

If you are struggling to navigate the Texas driver permit and license process: don't. Go to Aceable. You are going to have to get instruction anyway. Aceable is so affordable and convenient. Aceable goes the extra step to provide guidance for the entire process. All of our questions were answered quickly and completely by super nice people. We got through the gauntlet today and our teen has a driver's license. read more
