They had us doing some drill that definitely got my blood pumping, but were very patient, friendly, and good at explaining what to do so that you felt empowered to try it for yourself. Although they gave us some great information, it was really the hands on practice and training that sets this place apart from your typical driver's ed school. Plus, it was really fun too! The full day course involved a mix between learning something in the trailer classroom, than going out in the cars to practice. Drills included slaloms, high speed breaking, ABS breaking techniques, tailgating drill, etc. We were given basic training about proper seating position, adjusting mirrors for blind spots, etc. Yes, this course can be expensive, but I would highly recommend it! I feel like I'm better prepared to handle emergency situations, and I've been driving for 14 years! Whether you are a seasoned driver, or just got your permit, you can learn a lot from In Control. Completion of the course awards you a certificate that can be used for insurance discounts too, which is a nice bonus.

Online school for my teen was super convenient and scheduling for driving lessons were fairly easy…read more Two cons of using this school is that one teacher uses too much fear of consequences to teach lessons. (E.g., he told my teen driver that if she didn't follow xyz, she could kill a family and go to jail and never be able to have a family of her own.) The second con is we used their service for the road test. It cost an additional 120$ and we waited 1.5 hours after our scheduled test time for my teen daughter to complete her road test. They claimed they were running behind, but 1.5 hours is significant when you're controlling the timeline and the test for each student is '10 mins'.

Terrible experience, I was told they added me on the list to get a liscense in march. We called…read moreback in December, took class in august supposed to get liscense in march. they said they wanted to start booking lessons in February and to call them back when we got closer to February. So we contacted them in January seeing if we could book lessons. They booked one liscense back in the beginning of February the guy unfortunately got sick and had to cancel which is ok I understand that. They kept saying they would book the rest of the driving lessons and reschedule the one I was supposed to have for February so I would get my liscense in march. This week we contacted them becuase we were told we would get a schedule for my driving hours and never did. So my mom called we were told we would be added on to the list to take the license in march but we still weren't provided a schedule for all of the lessons we were supposed to be taking in February. We reached out 3 different times this week alone and finally we got a schedule turns out the person working for this guy was misinformed. We now have lessons booked for all of February, march and April. unfortunately becuase they don't get back to you in the time span they tell you, I am now hopefully "getting" a license by the end of April. To say I am super disappointed is an understatement to be told you will get your liscense in march to now being told I will get it in April honestly mad me extremely upset. My mom doesn't want to be a pain but she went to the actual driving school itself several different times and even contacted them a handful of times becuase they kept telling us they would schedule stuff and they never followed up on it until you become a pain and keep contacting them. I understand there are a lot of people trying to get their license but to tell someone they are supposed to get their liscense and are added on a list for march to being told your actually getting it in April and the person was misinformed is extremely upsetting. Hopefully people read this and save themselves for the disappointment I am feeling right now.

She had a great classroom experience, received comprehensive on-road instruction, and successfully completed her license test. As a parent, my encounters were just as good. Business owner, Frank Gueli, was both responsive and accommodating of my scheduling requests -- making every effort to move our daughter through the process so she was able to earn her license in a timely manner. I also appreciated his follow-up in booking her RMV appointment and confirming the paperwork we needed. The process of teaching a child to drive is challenging enough for a parent. Andover Auto School made it easier, helping us get there safely on all fronts!

I have repeatedly…read moreasked them to find a different car to park on besides mine (which has been in multiple accidents due to different driving schools hitting it while parked right outside my house). After asking several times politely, a rude, nasty older lady who was the instructor of a poor young learner, decided to be super disrespectful and dismissive instead of just finding a different car to park on. The student seem extremely uncomfortable during the whole encounter and I don't blame her. All I did was ask respectfully to find a different car to practice on while explaining the past situations I have encountered. I was met with "we can park wear ever we want, you don't own the street" which I never claimed I owned just simply asked if she could use a different car to park on. As a direct representation of the company, this woman single handily made sure no kids of mine will be attending their driving school and I will continue to spread the word of this to my friends and neighbors.

The first thing I liked was that the owner, Ross Panacopulos, is a retired Massachusetts State Trooper as are some of the instructors. These are the right people to teach safe driving. Despite the fact that she is over 21 our daughter followed the proscribed Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) safe driver course because she will get a discount on her insurance as a benefit. This consisted of twelve hours road instruction, thirty hours of online classroom training and twelve hours of observation. Carmine was her instructor and he taught her well. She passed the RMV road test on the first attempt. She found the observation "tedious" but that is in no way a fault of the school; they must scrupulously follow the RMV syllabus of study. We have no criticisms of the school. Laurie, Melissa and the staff were very helpful. The only thing I would like to see is that the students successfully completing the course should receive a certificate or other documentation of their achievement. The RMV really should do this. Maybe if I ask nicely the ladies at Triad Academy will send her a letter.
