    I don't usually leave a yelp review but I am writing to appreciate for the lessons that I got from…read more1 Safe Driving School and best instructor in town, Islam. I am originally from South Korea and exchanged my Korean driver's license to VA one. So I didn't have driving experience in the states at all and haven't driven for more than 5 years since I got my license in Korea. I wanted to start driving here but I was so nervous and scared. I finally decided to take some driving lessons and contacted almost every single driving schools in Alexandria where I live. None of them answered their phone and replied my email except this 1 Safe Driving School. I went with 10 hours behind wheels lessons and I met my Instructor 5 times on weekend for 2 hours each. They offer pick-up and drop-off service with their practice-car and you will drive that car. I practiced with him from driving around in neighborhood area to how to take a highway including parking lesson. After I finished all the lessons, now I feel more comfortable, confident, and safe while I am driving and I am not scared anymore. So these days, I can drive by my self and I earned a freedom to go wherever I want! Little bit about the instructor whom I practiced with, he was very nice and punctual with our schedule. As I remember, he has more than 8 years experience as a driving school instructor and he knows all most every single road in this area. He can control break while you are practicing even at the passenger sit. I still remember and recall all the advice and lesson he gave me and they are very helpful. (I am still mumbling "look around...look around" when I reverse my car in a parking lot lol) I would recommend this school to my close friends or family. My time and money were worth it. Much better than high chance of getting into an accident which would cost me a lot more. Thanks to Islam again and hope this review is helpful for those who are considering to take this class. Safe Driving! :) Tip 1. Bring your check or cash for your payment Tip 2. Don't go to Eisenhower DMV

    Whatever. Bottom line, it got the job done by the deadline. City of Alexandria traffic court gave…read moreme a flyer with scant info, lacking details. 1) An online course is acceptable to the Court, provided it appears on the DMV's approved list, 2) you must submit the completion certificate to the Court, so complete the course at least one week before your deadline, to allow time for out-of-state mailing via FedEx 2-Day, and 3) because there are no proctoring centers in the City of Alexandria, you can take the EXAM online as well, and DMV's normal requirement is dropped, of showing up somewhere in person to take the exam. I wanted an ONLINE "Driver Improvement Course" (not a classroom.) The Yelp link leads to "Driver Improvement Program, Inc." registered at a house in Fairfax County, south of Alexandria. Apparently he does live classes. He is a real human, and he picks up the phone and answers questions. He appears on DMV's list. For the online course, he partners with an out-of-state provider, where I paid and actually completed the course, in about five hours. Twice, during business hours, I called the customer service number of his onilne partner, and after a minute or two on hold, Kellee answered and provided good service. The actual course proceeded smoothly. Unfortunately I procrastinated, and paid extra for FedEx (5pm), and I called and paid more over the phone for an upgrade to FedEx Priority (10:30am.) I suppose I expected sketchy and incompetent and delays, but it all went smoothly. I found this company listed locally, and the rate was only $20 different than the cheapest I had clicked on, so I didn't really shop around much.

The training was insufficient, the managerial team lacked professionalism and support, and the overall environment was not conducive to growth or success. Based on these firsthand experiences, I would advise potential applicants to carefully consider other opportunities before committing to work here. Very Very high turnover

The education and so called Vocational program is subpar with subpar staff, literally. They will train you on physically contact, but it goes out of the window unless they expect you to do it. The staff is very abusive and they cover for one another if accused, then plotting putting you and the children in danger by setting up compromising positions. These are dangers people, I would not be surprised children haven't become more aggressive attending this "school". Any staff who are aware of this to include management and does nothing they are part of the problem, and are complicit in the abuse and mistreatment of these students. Unfortunately, I can't say that I am surprised by Management's care for the mighty dollar then these children. SMH...
