When I reached out to MasterDrive my first question was what they could do to support my daughter…read morewho has a learning disability. They met with her and talked about how she could choose to have classes in person or online. We decided that online would be the best option. The online course was what you would expect. It covered the information in both videos and articles. What made the program stand out was the driving instructors. My daughter took all of the extra driving courses they offered. She would not get behind the wheel before working with them. Mike listened to the type of instructor my daughter needed and matched her up perfectly. She came back from her instruction time feeling more confident and self-assured. It was worth every penny. Some of their instructors can be a little harsher than others but some people do better with those types of instructors. Just let your point person know what type of instructor your child learns best with and they will try to match you up. About a year after my daughter had taken her courses we moved to California. California was going to require my daughter to take Drivers ed all over again and wait 6 months before she could get her license (she had not taken the test yet in Co). MasterDrive was quick to help us out. They sent the information needed and saved us both time and money. I really appreciate all they have done and recommend this company.

There was no "slick track" they watered down some asphalt and let them slide a little bit, but there was no real simulation of driving on ice or snow. Extremely disappointed!

My son has been attending the Drivers' Education course during winter break. During a class (day…read moreafter Christmas) he had put his head down during a video and fell asleep, the owner of the Driver Education Academy, Carlos "Charlie" Torres, slammed his fist on his desk and told him to wake up or he can get out of his class. My son apologized and Charlie awhile later proceeded to put him down in front of the classroom. He started by criticizing his appearance and telling him he would never find a job because of how he looks. He then asked for a show of hands as to who actually liked him. No one raised their hand because he does not know anybody in the class. Charlie then told him, "See no one even likes you, your mom should've had an abortion when she was pregnant with you." He also said, "You should get a rope and go hang yourself now." I am still in shock that the owner o...f a so-called professional school would act in such a way towards a teen student and say such an inappropriate statement in front of a whole classroom. Especially with everything that has been going on in our society. I called Charlie when my son told me about what he told him and he apologized and offered to refund my money. He did not deny the accusations and apologized for as he put it "his harsh words". I went to the driver academy to collect my refund last night where Charlie apologized again and said it was all in jest. I am sorry but there is no jest when you are telling a teenager to hang them self. I am sharing this story with you to expose the behavior of this owner that has been left in charge of our teenagers very influential young minds. He should not be allowed to be around with impressionable teenagers. There is no excuse to tell anyone, especially a teenager, they should go kill themself. Bullying from child to child is bad enough, we cannot tolerate a grown man displaying these tactics!

To provide additional perspective to the statement below. I know of one student who witnessed the…read moreevent, on which he indicates did not occur exactly how the prior comment portrays. As for my own two children, both indicate that while the instructor has a sharp tongue at times, in their view he was all together lighthearted, engaging, and offered a caliber of information and experience that prepared them as responsible drivers. In fact, following their completion of the course my children are now so knowledgable behind the wheel that they often critique my driving! In all, my children reflect upon a positive experience, indicating that the instructor's tough exterior stems from a reasonable expectation that students remain attentive as well as respectful -- being that driving is an activity that impacts many if treated irresponsibly -- and he will respond in kind. As I have always told my now college educated children, experience is based upon what you put into it.

I outta slap myself for not recognizing this institution that helped me achieve my driver's license…read moreback in August 1st of 2014. I remember driving my past lover here for his license and seeing how appreciable the older gentleman in the office truly is. Instead of dealing with a headache full of DMV robots, you pay for your convenience! A mere fee of $80 (which my ex had only $60) and the older gentleman pardoned it and allowed him to take his test. What do you know next? He passed! Months later in August, my mother and I inquired our time here, and I loved the process of seeing the new technique of having an easy going instructor and the test was very easy. It was easy because the older gentleman was very kind, generous, and I wished to know of his name. He made the test seem NOT scary. I actually did fine. The instructor gives 100% clear directions 100% of the time. I was driving around the neighborhood, and the test was a breeze. And what do you know? I finished! Next is a breeze: you receive your stub with your info and go to the Tri-Country Building and have your photo taken there. They mail your new License in the mail, and you're finished!!! I'm so in love!!! I got my license here!!! Try it now!!!!

This review is ONLY for the 16950 W Colfax Ave #107A, Golden, CO 80401 location. I went to take my…read morescheduled driving test at this location. Sat in the lobby waiting for my appointment to come up. In walks the instructor "Thomas" with a younger kid who was the appointment before me, he walked in with a smile and said to the kids mother "He failed, would you like me to tell you why? Then listed off 10+ reasons such as being 1mph over the speed limit and not stopping long enough at a stop sign. I knew I was in for it at that point. We got into my vehicle and I told him I had to start it via interlock device first...then he marked his clipboard. Told me to make a left turn, id signal to make a left turn then get criticized about my speed, hand position on the wheel, etc. Id even say "okay" to agree and then get told not to speak at all during the test. Then we drove through a school zone, no flashing yellow light was on or blinking and there wasn't a person in sight so I followed the speed limit sign 30mph and then he told me "well that law violation will cost you the test" and then I said there was no blinking yellow light indicating to slow down to 20mph and he rose his voice and we began to argue. I told him he was very unprofessional and I would like to conclude the test now and I drove back to the golden location. Then he says would you like me to tell you why you failed the test? I said you probably wouldn't care to hear my response back to you and he exited the vehicle. So I payed another $80 and made an appointment at the Lakewood location 2 days later. My instructor this time was the lead supervisor. He was great. We talked as we drove, I followed his commands just fine and followed all instructions, and didn't get yelled at or criticized the entire time. We got back to the Lakewood location and he told me I passed with a "7". And I got my license the same day. Community Driving School is great, wonderful alternative to the DMV for testing! THOMAS you should consider working at the license bureau printing license plates. If you're trying to get your license AVOID the golden location at all costs. Instead go to any other of the community driving school locations. Thomas - no stars Lead supervisor - 5/5

This company offers poor communication that takes forever, instructions from people who clearly have no experience teaching others, a car with multiple warning lights on the dash, no regard for safety, and a complete disregard for your time. Update: More reason not to trust this company. I was offered a 50% refund, but instead of processing the refund they waited to contact me again till it was almost a week later and a federal holiday. I was then told that the refund would be processed as soon as I took down my review. I refuse to be manipulated like this though so instead of getting $150 back I'm updating my review so hopefully others won't have the same horrible experience I did. While the company keeps saying sorry to me their actions just get worse.
