They really, really know their stuff, were patient and thorough and extremely good at instruction. I was very impressed.

They are extremely nice, funny guys, and very good at what they do. Can't recommend this course enough. A+++++

If I could give this place zero stars, I would…read more Just to be clear, I'm only reviewing my personal experience at the Fairfax location near George Mason University. My instructor was Jessica, so I can't speak for the other instructors or locations. I came here as a complete beginner expecting an MSF course to actually teach me how to ride. Instead, after struggling with one of the basic turning exercises, I was given basically two attempts before Jessica pulled out a paper and told me I was done and could come back another time - for an additional fee. Ironically, on my next attempt I actually did the exercise correctly. What bothered me most wasn't even being removed from the course. It was the way the instructor handled it. There was very little actual explanation of what I was doing wrong. Instead, she was constantly yelling things like "What are you doing?" That's not teaching, especially when you're dealing with someone who is sitting on a motorcycle for the first time. I spent around $350 on this course plus about five hours completing their online theory, and it was basically money and time thrown away. I refused to come back and pay them a second time out of principle. Instead, I practiced on my own and went through the Virginia DMV process, passing both the knowledge and riding tests. The DMV riding test is harder, but honestly, passing it gave me much more confidence in my ability to actually control a motorcycle. If you're a complete beginner, my advice would be to learn and practice somewhere else first and consider trying the DMV route before paying for this course. If you can't pass the DMV test, then sure, an MSF course may still make sense. But I definitely wouldn't recommend this particular course as the place to learn from scratch. A beginner motorcycle course should teach beginners, not expect them to already know how to ride.

I read reviews from several surrounding driving programs and the best I found was NOVA driving…read moreschool. From the moment I emailed stating I was interested in finding a behind-the-wheel program, to the set up of the first appointment, it was about a day. We received a text message from Paul requesting a day and time to meet for the first appointment. First appointment, the parent must be there (with their drivers license), the payment for the program, and your teen driver must have their permit, logged hours and DC1 card ready to show prior to getting in the vehicle. There will be other teen drivers and there is no set daily schedule so you MUST be patient and flexible. We would get an estimated time of pick up the day before, and at times, he could be running early or late, but that is because you can't predict what will occur with the other drivers. My daughter loved driving with Paul. "He was calm and never condescending,".....her exact words. At the end of the 7 hours, he completed the paperwork for the DMV, as well as, the paperwork to be filed for courthouse (which he submitted for us) and gave her the provisional license (the parent must be present for this, as well because your signature is required). Everything was so organized and easy. If you can get past the slightly unstructured schedule, you can have confidence that your soon-to-be new driver will have a successful and positive experience.

I recommend this driving academy if you are concerned with reducing demerit points on your license…read more A few months ago, right before I moved, I received notice by the DMV in Virginia of too many demerit points due to some speeding tickets during 12 months timeframe. It was an option to take a driver improvement course and, upon passing, I would receive 5 points to cancel out demerit points. This driving academy has an online course, which I completed, which can be completed in one day (estimated at 8 hours for completion of the online course, although it took me less than 8 hours). The exam at the end must be completed in-person at the Tysons or Herdon location. I went for the exam in-person in the evening at the Tysons (Vienna) location and there was no one else scheduled so I was able to focus and complete the exam efficiently. The staff confirmed that points post within twentyfour hours and I received a printout of my of course passing score. The online course and final exam is $75 to complete and payable at the time of the in-person exam. For those interested, even without a DMV prompt, you can take a driver improvement course every few years and receive the positive points to your license (assuming you pass the exam).

Thankfully, there were no students in the car to witness these driving maneuvers as acceptable. If this is what they do when no one is watching, you can't trust them any other time either.

I know that they only compare the kid's test at the beginning to test at the end, and that it's not a test that is credentialed for any kind of learning organization. For this reason I find it hard to assume that going to a learning rx would help a kid advance in class. It's not normal tutoring it is truly "brain training". - Sometimes communication is poor with scheduling. Have to ask several times and get things in writing to change/cancel/add a class.
