I'm in the 8-hour driver improvement course as I type this. The instructor, Kaz, in addition to…read morebeing boring and condescending, keeps leaving the room, during which time I'm typing this. He'll put on a video and when it ends, we have to wait between 5 and 15 minutes for him to come back. This is excruciating. It's like detention. The class started 45 minutes late. Then we spent a full hour on introductions- 20 people going around the room stating their name and why they were here. Then Kaz gave each individual person advice- "get a lawyer" were his words of wisdom for most people. "Drive better" was his response for everyone else. If you're looking to actually learn anything from a driving class, don't come here. If you just want to get the certificate and don't care about your experience, go for it. Kaz is a professional and an expert at colossally wasting people's time. Don't get me wrong. I'm here because I got a speeding ticket and the court mandated that I take a driver improvement class. If this class were offered by the DMV and it was free, then all of this BS would be fine. But AA Driving Academy is a private business that I paid for a product--an 8-hour driving class--and the product is horrible.

I had the honor of training with Mr. Syed Iftikhar (Mr. Safe) at CDL Safe Driving Academy, and I…read morecan confidently say he is the best CDL instructor out there. His teaching style is clear, patient, and practical--he focuses on real-world driving techniques that prepare you not only to pass the CDL exam but also to drive safely and professionally afterward. Mr. Safe is extremely accessible and easy-going, always making time for his students. He works tirelessly every day until 7pm to ensure no one is left behind. Beyond being a skilled instructor, he is a kindhearted, genuine gentleman who truly cares about the success of his students. His professionalism, encouragement, and deep knowledge of CDL requirements made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special mention also goes to his assistant Jimmy, who is a great man as well--always supportive, respectful, and ready to help students succeed. Together, they create a very welcoming and motivating environment. Because of their guidance, I passed the Virginia CDL exam and now hold my CDL license. I highly recommend CDL Safe Driving Academy to anyone serious about getting their CDL. If you want instructors who are patient, dedicated, and sincerely invested in your success, Mr. Safe and his team are the best!

Online classes: admittedly these are very, very long and kind of boring. They are what they are…read more In-car lessons: these went well. Always started on time and finished on time. The quality of instructors has a quality mix to it, but most were very good. Also, if you like an instructor, you can try to schedule more lessons with that specific instructor, which was helpful. It can be difficult to find lessons when and where you want, but if you book far enough ahead of time, you can generally find several reasonable options. General communications: Every time we called the company for help, they were very responsive and always friendly. Overall, I would say our experience was very positive, and I would use them again if I need to and would recommend them.

After registering two separate times on their website, and several text messages of when the lesson would begin, I had to introduce myself (via text) and ask who was the instructor and give my location information all over again. Sitara Khan finally introduced herself as the instructor, and made arrangement to begin lesson on 16 Jan 2023 between 4:30 and 5;00PM. On the day the lesson were to begin, 16 Jan 2023 at 8:09AM, Sitara Khan texted and asked if we can go earlier because she just realized it was MLK Jr. Holiday. We agreed on 1:00PM at her request. After adjusting schedules, Sitara Khan did not show up as scheduled. After 10 min later, I texted to asked if we were still scheduled for 1:00. She texted back to explain that another student was driving slow and nervous (that is to be expected), but was on the way. Sitara Khan did finally show up at 1:45 with the student driving (I was standing outside waiting and watching as they drove up). At that point I had serious concerns with their decision making and safety, along with their unprofessionalism. As I was under the impression this is why these are scheduled time (as some student need more time than others). I cancelled our services with Sitara Khan and The Star Driving School.
