    Listen my friends. Let me give you a heads up about this place…read more If you absolutely have to spend the $75 to take a mandated course...DO NOT GO HERE. My horror story comes begins with getting a ticket from an officer that I should not have even received. Long story short.... I got ticketed for "Speeding in a school zone" when the school zone was not even active, there were no children, buses, cross guards, etc. Four times at the court house, 1 court date and judge later....I came out with a $637 ticket and a court-ordered 8 hour aggressive driving course (eek!). When I called the number provided on the website (because I could NOT schedule my own course), I was answered by a fairly nice but brief woman who ran through the scheduling very quickly. I kept repeating to the woman that I needed the aggressive driving course and she insisted that it was correct one. I booked the class, spent my Sunday in a small classroom with 20 other people, ended up getting a cold from the air conditioning being too low and sadly lost 8 hrs of my life. by the way, midway through the class the dvr stand broke and shattered on the floor, delaying our class by half an hour. When I went to the courthouse to pay part of the ticket I was informed that they would not accept the certificate for the course because it was the BASIC drivers course and not the AGGRESSIVE drivers course. Needless to say...I drove to the FSC to get it straightened out. UNFORTUNATELY, straightened out to the FSC meant telling me that it was my "word against" theirs and that they basically would not take the blame for their mistake. Needless to say, I ended up crying and in the supervisors office who told me he would only credit me for the class I had already taken. When I asked him to give me physical documentation stating he would give me credit he replied with a curt "no" followed by a "who is to say you won't come back in 2 years and try to have me honor the credit." I was appalled. I never should have received the ticket in the first place and now this employee believes I want to drag out this whole ordeal for two years? Begrudgingly, the supervisor ended up writing the credit on the back of his business card and simply told me that when I was ready to take the course to ask to see him directly and he would process the transaction. If it weren't for the credit I am receiving (I definitely DO NOT want to pay $110 as opposed to the $35 that I miraculously was told I only had to pay), I would NOT be going back to this place. Save yourself the money and the horror. Find a better establishment to give your money to.

    I went to this Florida Safety Council and got some education on Drinking & Driving. 12-hour Course…read morei attended and went very well. Instructor did a really good job on teaching and had a passion for what he was doing. You got to share your experiences with other classmates and got to know a lot about the Florida Law about alcohol. Anyways if you end up getting a DUI or would like to get some education i recommend that you go here. Great Faculty and The instructor was very Helpful. You will learn quite a bit. p.s. If you ever get asked to blow through a breathalyzer, do not refuse because that is an automatic 1-Year Suspension & anything over a 0.01 can get you arrested & charge for dui. Bottom line from me......... Don't Drink & Drive!

    My son completed his Driver's Ed via Florida Virtual School and they gave him 3 free driving…read morelessons through Florida Safety Council. Scheduling was a bit troublesome with trying to find something that fit into his schedule with school, but we got it done. Glad they could take him on the highway for some I-4 driving on his last lesson. Instructors were good and provided good feedback each time. I'm hoping they continue to pair with FLVS for this!

    This place only cares about making money. They require you to go even when you were not charged…read morewith a dui. Instead of showing grace.They treat you as just a cash cow. They cut you off while explaining you situation and even if you have years of sobriety under your belt they continue to do things to prolong your stay in the program. As someone who had to go through the program multiple times during my youth, they absolutely don't care what you have to say. Seeing as they are the only game in town, there really isn't anything you can do except let them be rude and take it. I've met so many people in recovery who do actually care. Hopefully they can make drastic improvements on how they treat people who need their help. It was this way 15 years ago and still is.
