Because I was traveling I was only able to communicate by text and she was professional and very thorough even though it was awkward. Showed up and met her in person and I must say that she was super nice for it being 6:45 am on Sunday morning. She let us know that we would be testing with her dad, Keith. No problem as I read the other reviews and felt we were in good hands. To my horror the gas light came on while we were waiting. I told Keith and he said they could stop and put in $5.00 with, just in case. Super nice and a great experience for my son to practice filling the car. Over the top customer service and accommodation for my ding bat mistake. I did not go with them on the test as I am a phantom break pedal stomper and make my son nervous. He reported that Keith was very patient and put him as much at ease as he could be. He said he was not gruff, grumpy,or bossy but offered helpful suggestions in a teaching way, not just barking out directions or criticism. As I was waiting at the school I observed Jennifer also being very supportive and excited for the people that were testing with her. I wish I had researched driving school companies more for his level 1 & 2 classes. I feel like these two would have made it a positive experience and it would not have taken over a year for my son to get the confidence to take the road test. If you have a nervous driver or somebody that tests badly I really think you will do well with Keith and Jennifer!

We used Alert Driving School for my daughter's drivers test. We knew families that had used this…read moretesting service and had good experiences with Keith and Andy as instructors. The person performing the test for my daughter was Dan (a Teenager which was a bit surprising) and was very unclear with his instructions to her.(and later to me.) The directions he gave to her and later myself in regard to how often you are allowed to readjust position during the parking portion were incredibly confusing and also misleading. He said several times that "the driver is allowed to pull forward as many times as they want, to readjust." And it wasn't until the third time he was explaining that I stopped and said you keep saying it's allowed, then why did she get points? He said "Oh you're allowed but you get points every time you do it." So he told her she was allowed to adjust as much as she wanted but did not make it clear she would be marked for each time. He also told her several times she could ask any questions she wanted and as many questions as she wanted but then said in response to her questions "The State doesn't allow me to answer that question."

My daughter signed up for a class to be held after school at the high school, she had all of her driving times already scheduled around other activities. The owner fired his teacher 1/2 way through class, then canceled all of the already scheduled drive times. He then told us the rest of the class and the drive times needed to be completed at his Waterford location. (A location inconvenient to us and our family's schedule ) I notified him that we are unable to get to the second location and the times that he was offering for driving were ridiculous - 10:00 at night and even times during school hours! When I tried to communicate that with him, he was rude and unwilling to schedule times that would work for my family. After I requested a refund, because she would be unable to complete the class at the location and time we originally signed up for- He then began calling and harassing my 15-year-old daughter While SHE WAS IN SCHOOL , going behind my back trying to arrange times with her and complaining to her that I requested a refund!! This is the most unprofessional company I've ever dealt with! Spend the few extra dollars and go to one of their competitors.

Last week was the first time I went to an OCC campus apart from the Auburn Hills campus. It's…read moredefinitely resembles a university campus like MSU more so than the Auburn Hills location. Waterford Township is more rural and the campus is all under one area but spaced out greatly like a university. Lots of hills and open areas. I have class in High Oaks Hall but the whole campus is beautiful. Makes a more urban campus like Auburn Hills look really small and optimized given the density of the population and businesses nearby there. I haven't gone around much. High Oaks has a ton of labs even though not all the computers are standardized and such. The advantage of Auburn Hills is that the buildings are all connected on the inside so that's really convenient in the Winter especially. But if you want that university-like campus, Highland Lakes might be for you particularly if you live closer to that campus. I'll definitely take the coming weeks exploring it but it's a large campus near a bunch of lakes. Very scenic campus!

The time spent behind-the-wheel as well as the closed course sessions were definitely very good with patient and good teachers and driving instructors. They taught her the rules of driving well. However, trying to schedule the Plus 10 hours portion of her contract has been tedious and quite unpleasant. The person who schedules these sessions at the Novi location has been offering times during the week when my sophomore is in school and it's difficult to find any availability immediately after school. At one point, I was even told to not call them and that they would contact me with availability as and when slots opened up. That's not what I would expect of a driving school that needs to have a better system in place for these private drives, especially when they're already paid for. Moreover, the majority of their clients are high schoolers who they clearly know can't book driving sessions during school hours. I truly hope they can modify their scheduling and get a system that's more conducive to helping high schoolers book their private lessons more easily.

So now that he goes I guess I'm really confused how there is 5 stars for this driving academy. 1st on parents night the fella ripped on the parents the whole time. Not knowing us he pretty much told the kids not to listen to us parents when it comes to driving because it's been so long since we've been in drivers Ed..: then he turns and tells the kids respect your parents driving as they are the ones that have kept you in one piece . One dad was turning red in the face . Then the guy mentioned how there are a bunch of cameras in the cars and kids bad attitudes won't be accepted and they will have video... ok what about your driving instructors bad attitudes? Lord! The instructor my son had the first 2 days was new, unprepared, confusing, late and boring. I did ask for a new teacher as the reviews reflected that this school was different than others and a little more fun...a new teacher was assigned....thank you. As for the driving teachers you have a couple dudes there that are complete old jerks and make the kids feel on egg shells. I reported Dennis as my son was like OMG that guys the biggest jerk. One driver teacher boasted about making good money and working OT doing this, but he was an ass and gave a kid a panic attack. I made sure my son didn't have either of these men again. Kids are nervous enough and these guys just yelled. Why do they do this for a living is it just about money? So before you threaten the kids about being good in the car look at these teachers and how they are. I'm still puzzled on how this is a top driving school. Oh well. He's not going back .
