    I would not recommend Baldwin Driver Training. My instructor and the school made me feel like I…read morewould only need six hours of training and then I would be done. That is what my parents and I signed up for and expected. I did not expect that I would have to keep having lessons with my parents. Furthermore, the instructor was not explicit about the consequences of not getting a driver's license, beyond the obvious caveat of relying on other transportation. The instructor did not explain that many employers require a valid driver's license, and thus not getting one hampers the potential for job hires significantly.

    Straightforward driver training, just what you'd expect for a teenager. She learned the rules of…read morethe road, got some confidence behind the wheel, and overall it was a decent experience. According to her, the instructor was very patient and helpful, which is exactly what an anxious student needs. As a parent, though, it was frustrating. Trying to actually schedule in-car time can be a pain in the butt, and it seems clear they don't have any computerized records. It also seems they file by instructor name and class time, rather than by student, but that's a guess based on what they asked whenever I was trying to schedule things. The price is about the same as any other school in the area -- for my other kids I'm likely to check out other schools and see if their organization is a little more straightforward. (To be specific... I've been waiting a day for a call back once they "find" her records. Kid needs her car time to get her license, come on!)

    I attended Sage Truck Driving School in Lexington, SC from June 23, 2025, through July 31, 2025. My…read moreexperience was disappointing and not reflective of the investment I made. Much of the training felt self-taught. Instructors often sat back and observed without offering guidance unless I specifically asked for help. I struggled with yard maneuvers on gravel and later discovered on my own that adjusting my seat height, due to my shorter stature, made a big difference. This was never suggested by an instructor. When I later practiced at the DMV on smooth pavement, the transition was difficult because I had only trained on gravel, and I received no useful feedback from instructors. On my August 12th test, I failed the pre-trip inspection, largely because I had very little one-on-one instruction on the brake test. My only focused review came the day before the exam, which was inadequate. The instructors clearly knew how to drive, but in my opinion, they were not effective teachers and lacked patience. After failing, I was charged an additional $300 just to use the school's truck for retesting--without any extra instruction--on top of already paying over $5,000 in tuition. I failed again on August 18, which I believe was due to lack of proper training and confidence-building. While corporate offered me four additional hours of training, it was with the same instructors I felt had not provided the support I needed. I requested a refund, but was told that state policy prohibits it. I am still waiting on a promised call back. Overall, I feel the school does not provide the structured, supportive instruction necessary for student success. My recommendation would be for Sage to focus on better instructor training, patience, and ensuring students are truly prepared before being sent to test.
