I LOVE THIS PLACE! Customer service is awesome, services are great, and the establishment is clean!…read moreI came here two times in the last couple of days to take my PRE-TABE (test of adult basic education) test and my DLPT (defense language proficiency test). Mrs. Valerie Hilton is the woman who basically runs the testing services. She's very nice, sets everything up, and she gets you in and out! She also provides great encouragement and is very friendly. The process of requesting to take an exam (for the DLPT) is really straight forward and simple. You call and request a test for any language you please, Valerie puts everything together and sends it you an email with the document required (DA 4187) with instructions. She explains everything thoroughly in the email and attachments. Once you get your form completed and emailed to her, she immediately sends you an email with all the dates available for testing. The DLPT consists of two tests: Hearing and Reading. Both exams are three hours each so they require two appointments which can be taken in one day or broken up in two as long as both exams are taken within thirty days. I decided to do both in one day and it was great! I scored what I needed to get my twenty-five promotion points! (= I started the process to request to test the first week of April and tested in a couple weeks. The PRE-TABE was something I requested to test for in the beginning of April and they were able to schedule me a test date with no required paperwork. BLUF: If you would like to take an exam, the ROB Education Center Testing Services building is the place to do it! You won't be disappointed. Everything about this place is A W E S O M E.

Like the other reviewer, I am also a California expat. I had to take both tests as well. While I…read moredid not attend classes, I was given access to an app for my tablet that that drove all the information home in a pleasant enough format to not to entirely sick of it. And the information you need to memorize for the written test is vast. There's around 1200 questions, you'll get 30 of them assigned randomly and you can only miss a couple before failing. Barely passed this test, but the app was essential for studying. The real value here came with the behind the wheel training. I've been driving 30+ years already, so I figured I'd have this part in the bag. I was so wrong about that. My instructor, Oli, was an absolute champ and really helped me break some of the US driving habits that don't fly out here. To be clear, there was a zero percent chance that I could have passed this exam without his help. He was patient with my screw-ups and educated me enough to where I'm actually following the proper procedures when I get back into my car. Highly recommended.

As a resident-alien from CA, getting a German drivers license can be a royal pain in the neck. If…read moreone were from Kentucky, all one would need to do would be to exchange their KY license for a German one, but being from CA is a different story. One needs to attend both the classroom and take several hours of behind-the-wheel sessions before attempting to pass both exams. I took my written test (four times) in "English", meaning British English, where the "profile" of a tire (tyre) means the tread, a "level crossing" is a railroad crossing, a "carriageway" is a street, a "motorway" is a freeway, etc. Oh, and one better brush-up on one's math skills as well because there are stopping, passing and acceleration formulas to deal with. Whereas in the US, all one really needs to obtain a drivers license is a pulse, in Germany one must have one's current drivers license "officially translated", take a life-safety course (more math), take an eye test and THEN begin the courses. The staff were very helpful and patient with the time required to obtain all of the pre-course requirements and even drove us to the TUV to take the exam - sometimes repeatedly... My behind-the-wheel instructor, Olli, was a true gem! He gave me all of the tips for passing the test (which I did the first time, with no mistakes) and help make me aware of the many uniquely German traffic situations. After passing both tests, I received a little present from the firm that included a bottle opener! Highly recommended!
