I just read the reviews. I wish I had read them before I signed up for the course. I signed up because it was the cheapest listed. When I tried to sign up I found out the course that was $15 was now $25 and you could not refuse the extra fee. It would not let you check out without excepting the extra fee. They also tried to get you to sign up for many extras that would help make the course go smoothly.I signed up and quickly found out that this was a scam. The materials were rigged in a way that if you didn't have a photographic memory you couldn't pass. It was filled with numbers for everything pertaining to Driving. Way too much to be able to retain. Plus they kept going back and forth with the years 2012, 1960, 1978, 2013, and 2018. Every time they would state a year they would also give numbers, such as 345 injuries and 79 deaths in 50 states. Also 203 injuries and 22 deaths in Florida making Florida number 2 in the nation. I made those numbers up. I was a teacher for 43 years and failed the first quiz three times with a 70. They did not give any feedback. So when you retake the quiz you had to stick with your guns because otherwise you would be guessing on everything. All three quizzes came back with a 70. In order to move on you must score a 100. Without feedback it was impossible. I tried three times. They locked me out and told me I had to reregister and pay again. I tried to go to customer ********************** but after an hour I hung up.I proceeded to *************************************** Administration's course. I passed the first time. All quizzes were graded and reviewed. My lowest score was a 70. I reviewed the missed questions and scored a 90 on the test. First time. I was allowed to take it as many times as I ******** was a good experience. You guys on the other hand should be put out of business. With all these bad reviews and nothing changing, Better Business Bureau should shut you down.American Safety Council, Inc. Response

Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for any confusion and frustration you experienced during the course. We want to clarify that the course you registered for was the streaming version of the FL 4-Hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course, which does include an additional fee compared to the regular BDI course. This course format includes quizzes throughout, rather than a single final exam, and these details are provided on our website's homepage for transparency before sign-up.
We are sorry to hear that the course content and format did not meet your expectations. We understand that the level of detail in the course can be challenging, and while our aim is to provide comprehensive driver safety education, we also strive to make the process manageable for all participants.
In light of your experience, we would like to offer you a promotional code for a free enrollment in our standard 4-Hour BDI course, which does not include streaming and only has a final exam at the end. We hope this alternative will better suit your needs.
Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team, available Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST, or chat support from 8 AM to 10 PM EST, so we can assist you further with this.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make things right.Review from Tameka L

I wish I could leave a 0 if it was possible. I have been contacting support for the last 3 days and they keep sending they would send my ******** Law certificate and they never have. I've been waiting a week for my certificate. It was promised to be delivered in 1 - 2 days to my email. I missed 3 appointments because of this.American Safety Council, Inc. Response

Horrible service. My account is locked for failing to correctly answer a security question. Worse is I have been on hold for over an hour waiting for a representative to answer the phone to help. I have emailed twice with no response. I am almost done with my 5hrs and I cant get to the end because of a lock for failing a security question????Its hours into this course, could we be tired and select the wrong answer for your security question??!! Perhaps, but YOU MUST FIND A BETTER WAY TO ASSIST THAN CONTINUE TELLING US FOR HOURS THAT OUR WAIT TIME WILL BE OVER 10mins WHENNIT IS TRULY OVER AN HOUR.Horrible, terrible service and company. I would never recommend this company to anyone.American Safety Council, Inc. Response

Good morning ***********************,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration youve encountered.
Regarding the security question, we understand that after hours of coursework, it's easy to select the wrong answer. For security reasons, we must follow protocol when incorrect answers are given, but we are working on ways to improve this process to better assist our students.
We also apologize for the long hold times and any delays in responding to your emails. Please note that our hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. If you contacted us outside of those hours, we may not have been able to respond immediately. While we understand your frustration, we are happy to inform you that at this time, we show your course has been completed.
Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. We are committed to improving our services and appreciate your patience.Review from Mind Y

This is the worst driving website ever. I'll say I've never made a review anywhere before but today seems significant to make one. How could a website provide outdated contact info? It's extremely unprofessional that I, as a customer, try to reach out for help and neither the live chat, phone number, or email is available for use. Meaning that it is either disconnected or was simply abandoned. I didn't have any knowledge of this until now. Which was after I did a deep diving and stumbled on this and made a review. My main concern with the website was the security questions asking me about personal info that I knew the answer to but still marked it wrong and kicked me out of the course for 24 hours. So my first instinct was to contact customer ********************** because they want to make my experience the best. But instead i got ignored by text and email and the phone number wouldn't work properly since it was disconnected. I'm disgusted by the manner your company handles customer **********************. I assure you that I'll try my best to warn anyone and everyone about this horrible scam that's being run by your business and I will be receiving a refund immediately. This is a shameful and embarrassing reputation built behind your business. I hope that it gets sued by every individual who has regretfully purchased this scam. Don't bother replying I just wanted to inform the rest of the people who are not victims to not think, not even the slightest on purchasing anything from here it'll be a waste of time, money, and respect. Please stick to a better website that has over 3 stars rating and if I could I would give this website a -1 million star rating. But it's too behind to do anything. It can't even function without glitching. How seriously pathetic. Whoever works for this company still should quit. You'll be doing everyone a favor by letting this website fade away from the internet.American Safety Council, Inc. Response

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We genuinely apologize for the frustration you've experienced and want to address your concerns directly.
Regarding the security questions, these are based on the answers you initially selected when starting the course. If the original answers were incorrect, subsequent attempts would unfortunately mark different answers as wrong. This can understandably be confusing, and we are sorry that it affected your progress.
As for your communication with our support team, we received your email on Tuesday at 7:12 PM, and a response was sent on Wednesday at 11:33 AM, which is within our typical 24-hour window for email responses. Additionally, our customer ********************** hours are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. If you attempted to reach us outside of those times, we would have been unavailable to respond.
We want to reassure you that we are committed to improving your experience and are here to assist you in resolving any remaining issues. Please feel free to reach out during our operating hours so we can further help with your concerns.
Thank you again for your feedback.Review from martin E

This has turned into a scam operation-it was not operated this way when I took the course three years ago. Questions are worded ambiguously to set up traps with which they block you from the course unless you re-register AND PAY THE FULL FEE AGAIN-re-registration is mentioned in the small print but NOT the repeat fee! In addition, they are charging users $8 for the *** processing fee which is actually only $5. When I thought I could call them I was put on an unreasonable hold-and when I tried to call on the weekend they never picked up. I called the *** *** in ****** and urged them to remove this company from their approved list-it fell on deaf earsAmerican Safety Council, Inc. Response

Good morning, ***********************!
I would like to express our sincere apologies for any confusion or inconvenience you may have encountered during this process. It's important to note that while our course is designed to align with state standards, failing a module quiz three times unfortunately leads to disqualification from the course. This information is readily available within the course materials as a reminder and is also accessible on our course website, ensuring that prospective students are well-informed about the prerequisites before registering.
It's important to reiterate that, as an approved course provider,our commitment is to adhere to State regulations for course providers. One of these regulatory requirements entails verifying student participation, and when students do not meet these criteria, we are obligated to exclude them from the course. This is a key component of our compliance with state standards and regulations.
Regrettably,you will need to go through the re-registration process at this time. We want to highlight that we provide alternatives, such as the Premier Pass, aimed at reducing the inconvenience for students who encounter challenges while progressing through the course. With the Premier Pass, you have the opportunity to re-register for the course at no additional cost.Regards to the contact issue, our hours of operations are Monday- Friday 8AM-10PM. This call line is not available on the weekends. I do apologize for this mix up.
At this time, I have reissued your course as a courtesy, so you do not have to re-purchase the course again. Please log back in and begin as you would like.Review from Fred T
