Preparing a 15 year old to drive is terrifying. I am so glad we chose to send our son to the 911…read moredriving school in North Tacoma. At first we didn't think we could afford it because it was considerably more than other schools in the area. Then someone told me that each month one of the schools offers a $75 discount...the discount changes from school each month. We decided that you only learn how to drive one time...who better to teach our son to drive than police officers? He did excellent, he is such a safe driver and so knowledgeable and confident. I can't imagine sending him anywhere else to drive.

I had previously left a review that I later deleted. After working more with this school, I've seen…read morethat they are truly doing their best. It can be difficult to hire, train, and keep the right people in place, and I've learned that instead of relying on the online scheduler, the best approach is simply to call. When I reached out directly, they showed me nothing but patience and flexibility, and worked very hard to accommodate my daughter's busy schedule. In the end, they got all of her drives scheduled, and I'm grateful for their effort. I've learned to give them grace and trust that they will do everything possible to make it work for families. My daughter also really enjoyed the instruction, and I feel like this will make her a safer driver. I would use them again in a second!

I truly, truly loved this experience with teen driving school, I believe this is the school to pick…read morefor having your teen to learn the road and learn how to drive on the road and show different reactions with other cars around. They are very supportive and they help guide you to pick perfect times for drives they understand when you make mistakes and they take time to explain to you how to fix your mistake. They are very on top with you doing your work that they give out but it's understanding because how are you gonna learn if you don't put the effort in. Zutobi is a good way to practice and learn the road signs and it for sure gives you a good way to study. When your not busy and your bored you can just go right to Zutobi and take extra lessons or finish the lessons they ask you too! Helps keep you on track and on date with homework from them. I am a teen from this drivers school, I started in September and I finished all 6 drives within 4 months. I stayed on track and they were right there when I needed them! You can always ask questions when you are confused they are an answer away! I am walking evidence that you can do this! This is the drives ed to pick for your teen, especially with the class times! Really works with timing and school wise and yes it does go until 6 around dinner time but they don't mind for kids to come in and have snacks if they're hungry, they do provide as well! Love Complete Driving Experience, especially the staff! So amazing and they always have a smile on their face! If you ever want your kid to be happy going home from drivers ed this is the one! Sincerely, Malayah

I would not recommend this driving school for your teen. Driving schools are expensive. So to pay a…read morelot of money to ensure your child is taught the basics of driving and have so many issues is beyond frustrating. First there is not enough drive times and they are constantly cancelling or they use the excuse "the system is down" and you are unable to schedule drives. When you call it always goes to voicemail. I have yet to have anyone actually call me back. You can email but there is always a delay in getting a response and again it is just the system is "messed up" or "down" and they are fixing it. If you are a single parent or work full time this is not the driving school for your child as who knows when they will reschedule your drive times without communication or a conversation with the parent.

I drove around this campus the day before I had to take a test to get a lay of the land. In looking…read morearound for the building that had the number 6 on it (since they are all numbered), I was able to look around the campus. It was very nice and manicured. It's a nice sized campus for a community college as well. Lot's of parking if you get there before 8:30am. If you are there for more than 2 hours, don't park in the visitor spots that say 2 hours. People apparently are abusing those spaces. You can get a visitors pass from someone in many of their offices for the day so use a regular space in that case. I've heard they had 3 vehicle break-ins in less than 2 months of my posting this review and was informed the best monitored lot is 'G'. So, that is where I parked and it turns out to be closest to the building I needed anyway. Lucky me. I read that if people choose to go to shool here that it's hard to get classes. The key is to do everything on-line as soon as they allow. If you snooze you lose and that goes for 4 year institutions as well. So if you don't know..that's the norm. Don't even wait an hour after the lines open for registration. There will always be those who will be willing to be there before you and then remember to prioritize the classes you take the the absolute hardest ones to obtain first. You will know what I mean when you get started with trying to register each quarter. You'll figure it out. I'm not a student anymore, but I'm speaking from remembering my experience. Good luck!

I would give no stars if I could! I will just say that when I attended over 10 years ago this…read moreschool was pretty decent. Returning after becoming disabled is a whole different experience! The advisors, teachers, staff, and especially the financial aid office are so morally bankrupt, incompetent, lazy, rude, corrupt, and honestly just plain pathetic! Returning here for these last couple months has been an absolute nightmare and waste of time! I honestly plan on reporting the school to multiple agencies for discriminatory behavior among other issues! If I were you, I would choose a different school and save yourself the migraines and heartache!

Took the Street Skills 101, Ric and Paul were the instructors. I have been riding for 15 years and…read moreI was so impressed with the way this course was taught. Understanding and actually doing emergency braking at 35 to 40 mph was truly an eye opener. I left this class with better cornering technique including trailbraking. Ric was extremely patient and a fantastic coach.

I would strongly recommend taking your beginner riding course somewhere else…read more I paid $380 for the Beginner Riding Course because the description clearly stated that no previous riding experience was required, aside from having the proper gear. I expected a course designed for true beginners, but that was not my experience. On the first day, I had some difficulty with certain exercises, which I think is normal for a beginner, but I never crashed, fell, or dropped the bike. Multiple other students did. On the second day, I dropped the bike once and was immediately asked to leave. I received no refund, credit, make-up session, or transfer for the portion of the course I could no longer complete. The instructor later told me I needed to practice on my own and essentially pay to take the beginner course again. When I asked whether the second day I had already paid for could transfer over, she said no and called the course an "investment." I agree that training is an investment, which is exactly why I paid for professional beginner instruction in the first place. Being told to gain experience on my own before retaking a course advertised as requiring no previous experience made no sense to me. I also felt singled out during the course. The instructor repeatedly asked whether I was a software engineer and said she would explain things differently if I were because software engineers supposedly think in black-and-white terms. Afterward, I noticed many other reviews from women who said they also felt singled out or treated differently. I came away feeling similarly, including because of my gender and race. I can't speak to anyone's intentions, but that was genuinely my experience. I also saw multiple reviews describing the course as a "scam" or saying the company seemed more focused on money. After being removed after one mistake, receiving no credit or refund, and being told to practice independently and pay again, I understand why people feel that way. I felt the same. Beginner riders are going to make mistakes. I would have learned much more by being allowed to safely get back on the bike, understand what I did wrong, and try again. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for your motorcycle training.
