    I researched several companies before choosing West Point Driving School. I selected them for their…read moretransparency, strong ratings from KCRA, and the simplicity of their website. Scheduling was flexible, and we were able to keep the same instructor throughout the entire course. Ken, our driving instructor, made us feel like family. He provided instruction in a calm, gentle, and straightforward manner--perfect for my daughter, who was extremely anxious. I also appreciated being able to attend each of her sessions, which added an extra layer of comfort and support. I highly recommend West Point Driving School for anyone looking for a personalized and supportive driving experience. And the best part-- my daughter passed her behind-the-wheel test and is now a licensed driver. Thank you, West Point!

    I recently had a kid who went through the behind-the-wheel new driver series with West Point…read more Before selecting West Point, I had already combed through Yelp and Google. The "best" choice was not obvious from this research. I asked a friend who recently had kids get their drivers licenses and he recommended West Point without any reservations. I re-scoured the reviews and became convinced. The registration process was straightforward, and the office staff was always polite, efficient and professional. They are clearly used to dealing with unexpected issues because they were flexible with unplanned changes and last minute bookings. I only observed the instructors during their pre-drive briefings and post-drive debriefings. Always calm, nonjudgmental and full of useful tips. My kid told me that the instructors were always calm and did not raise their voice or panic. 100% recommend with no reservations.

He not only taught Joseph the rules of the road but also emphasized safe driving practices and defensive techniques. We are incredibly grateful for his professionalism and dedication.

    Paid in full and Failed to perform training…read more I wish I could give zero stars. I paid in full for behind-the-wheel training for my son and received only one lesson. Despite numerous follow-up emails, the owner has gone completely silent and refuses to issue a refund for the services not provided. Multiple people I know had recommended Referral Driving School and praised their high success rate, so I reached out in early March 2026 for training. On March 12, owner Brian emailed me the pricing: a single session for $109 or a discounted 5-class package for a one-time payment of $495. The email clearly stated that choosing the package option would confirm the appointments. I went with the 5-class package and paid the full $495. Brian scheduled our first lesson for March 18 at 5:30pm. He showed up 30 minutes late but delivered a solid training session and said my son was already progressing well. The next day I emailed to schedule the second lesson. On March 20, Brian replied that he also works in Las Vegas and would get back to me soon to reschedule. On March 23 he said he was still out of town but would schedule the next session shortly. That was the last I ever heard from him. I followed up repeatedly on April 1, April 17, April 29, and again today (May 5) requesting a refund for the four unused sessions. No replies, no calls returned, no refund. Nothing. This is unacceptable. I paid for a service in good faith based on their own pricing and confirmation, and they have essentially taken the money and disappeared. If you're considering this driving school, do yourself a favor and only pay for one lesson at a time. Do not prepay for a package. I'm posting this review in hopes that Referral Driving School will finally do the right thing and refund the $396 I'm owed for services not rendered. Prospective customers deserve better.

    Worst company to work for. The consultants and company are more concerned about paper work and data…read morethan they are the kiddos. They'd rather look good on paper than actually care if the kiddos understand what you're teaching them. It's not fair to the kiddos, family or tutors. I was put down a lot. Made to feel stupid and never had any support. The last consultant was condescending and only cared about herself and how she looked on paper. The office also doesn't care about the staff out in the field. We're the ones working with the kiddos but are treated the worst. I saw on their Facebook page they had an appreciation party to consultants but I NEVER got so much as a thank you. The only nice person in the office is the scheduler Lisa. I would run to any other company than Learning Solutions..

    First, "learning" solutions is NOT what this company should be called. We (employees) are not to…read morehelp with academics. We are only to assist with behaviors and/ or other daily activities (depending if you work at a school or home setting). Anyways, when I first applied I was under the impression of working with children whom have autism. That is NOT the case, some may have autism, but most likely have other concerns. It can sometimes be very stressful, but my consultant was always available via phone or text .. Anyways, the flexibility is great for a college student .. but the pay is bad. I met a girl whom worked for this company (she had her Bachelors degree in Social Work) and they were paying her $13 an hour. A lot of the employees here don't have a sincere interest in children , it's just a flexible job while in school which isn't fair to the kiddos. In addition, the staff at the office aren't very nice .. when I had my interview I asked for $13/ hour (I have two AA degrees), and the lady flat out told me "no, we pay 11- 12 which is already above minimum wage" .. also, whenever your kiddo cancels they have you drive to another kiddo .. which isn't always convenient. When I gave my two weeks notice she snatched the paper from my hand & took me into a private room to question why I was quitting .. once I told her I was moving she continued to ask where ? I moved from Sacramento to Huntington Beach. She then asked me why I was moving ? And if I already had a job lined up? And what it was? Giving your notice is already awkward , and this made it annoying too .. In addition, every person I've trained with would use there phone during intervals .. even my consultant , so one day I was out on the playground with my kiddo whom was playing hoola hoop w/ a friend about 5 ft from me .. I was checking my schedule to see when the after school aide would be there (she was always late) and you must stay 15 minutes OVER your shift before calling the office ! Also inconvenient .. anyways , somehow the owner of the company Erin Chargin stopped by .. she said are you a learning solutions employee? I said yes .. she then responded "oh! So you work for me, and you need to be off your phone" I was taken by surprise & responded "okay" she then walked off .. but I had no idea who she was ! I had never met her, once I got home I researched her , & it was her .. she was very unprofessional & rude .. she should've introduced her self , then ask me to put away my phone .. I was not happy with this company , but it was okay for short term .. feel free to message me with any additional questions about this company .
