I called Accredited Driving School and asked for an instructor to help my son on the weekend prior to his test. This was a last minute call and Charles was able to fit us into our schedule. He arrived on time, took time to talk to my husband, son and me before each lesson to find out what my son needed to work on. After each lesson, he aslo took time to go over our son's results. My son passed the test!!! He said Charles was a much better instructor, because he knew what the DMV drive test evaluators were looking for and what errors students made that caused them to fail. I would recommend Accredited Driving School over the other schools in the area, which we found to not put in the extra time or have flexible schedules.

I work Monday - Friday and my availability is 4pm & after and on weekends. It's been VERY hard to find appointments that fit my schedule and I already had paid the 600 bucks. First lesson was good. Second lesson was canceled 15 minutes before it started on coastlines end. While I understand things happen, I felt completely abandoned by the fact that all they could do was schedule me 3 & 4 weeks later which is 1 week before my drivers test appointment and I still have not even been on a freeway. They didn't do anything to help compensate 1 session or find me an earlier appointment. I'm stressed and just upset at this entire situation

I highly recommend Accredited Driving School, with Chuck Hard as the instructor. Chuck has been a…read moredriver education instructor for many years. Both of my daughters had him as their instructor, and both passed their drivers test the first time. Yes, he does take the time to talk to them and explain to them, not driving 100% of the time. But that is absolutely necessary. He quizzes them on questions they may be asked, is sure that they know where essential parts of their car are located, and provides Youtube videos that they can watch on their own time. With our first daughter, we went along for one of the lessons, and learned a lot ourselves. My younger daughter, who is very judgemental, says that she really learned a lot from Chuck, and has no problem commenting on and criticizing driving habits that I have picked up over time when I am driving. Usually prefaced by "Chuck said that you should...." He has his own hybrid car but did the lessons with my 19 year old daughter in the car that she was going to be driving for her drivers test and thereafter (which was our choice). If possible, he will take your child on an anticipated route that they will have for their drivers test to give them an idea of what they might expect. Please consider Accredited Driving School for your child's driver education.

I definitely recommend Chuck and we will be calling him in couple years when my daughter starts to drive.

The availability for lessons is not for a month or two out, which leaves you an alert when trying to calendar things. And then, at one point, we scheduled with an instructor, had a confirmation message without Instructor, and when we showed up for the appointment... We watched her drive away with another student and lost our lesson. There is no direct number to get a hold of anybody, and they did not follow up or call back despite AAA's representation that they would. I am now stuck paying another driving instructor to try and find lessons to fit within our schedule and in the time needed to get the lessons in before my son's test.

The instructor will show up to your house for pickup and will take the student for a 1-on-1 driving lesson from there. The exception to this would be the final lesson before the scheduled behind-the-wheel test IF you live far from the DMV location the test is at. They want to maximize the behind-the-wheel time, so if you live far from your DMV test location like I do, you'll have a set meetup spot. The lessons are 2 hours. I want to give an extra shoutout to Bill, who was amazing and very personable with my son! My son liked all of his instructors, but Bill was his standout favorite.

And with a cancellation days before lesson and lack of prioritization for cancelled schedule, you're looking at driving 1 hour lesson in 2 month period which is what my son is experiencing. If there's another cancellation it'll be 3 months since last lesson. At this rate it may take a year to complete a driving lesson. If you're available during weekdays, you'd probably be fine. If you're not I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind 1 month between driving lessons. I'm trying to get a refund.

CRAZY STORY... I couldn't recommend this place enough or more specifically Jim Gleason. You see in…read more2014 I had an AVM brain rupture and am considered mentally disabled . Well after not being able to drive for 3 years after my brain surgery i decided to give driving a shot with the "driving program" at a local hospital which turned out to be a SCAM because the "therapist" never even took me behind the wheel after a 6 month program (BEFORE THE DRIVE TEST). So at the time my parents helped me find this place , a place that would work with someone with a disability and it just so happened to turn out that Jim Gleason pulls up and we had a little reunion with my parents after literally not seeing Jim since I was like 17! I am 40 now. Anyway point here is that Jim is SO patient and motivating and more than that he's understanding . Just wanted to boast about this man because this is the 2nd time in a span of around 23 years that he helped me regain my freedom , confidence , a job and because of him I am able to drive to work church or where ever I need to be! THANK YOU JIM I'll never forget you. I came on here 9 YEARS later because someone on the SM community page is asking for recommendations for a good driving school and so I had to show some love. I'm SO appreciative! Picture was taken in 2017 when I passed my 2nd driving test (IN THE RAIN!) with the help of Jim Gleason at American Driving School.
