    I enrolled my daughter in classes with 1st Rate Driving School in the spring of 2022. She completed the online class, received her temps, and was doing the behind-the-wheel training which she started in October 2022. Since then, my daughter has not been responsible and I was having discipline problems with her. I decided she was not anywhere near ready to get her license and asked the instructor ***, to drop her upcoming classes. She immediately contacted the **** saying my daughter dropped the course, which also cancelled my daughter's temps with the state.The next day, I found out that I could have had my daughter finish up the 2 or 3 classes remaining, and put on hold indefinitely taking her to receive her license, when she was more responsible. The instructor did not inform me that I could do this. I thought that after completing the course, you had to go and get your license in a certain time frame. I spoke with the *** and they told me to ask the instructor to re-enroll my daughter to finish up her classes. I have asked 1st Rate to re-enroll my daughter because of the misunderstanding and they refuse to do it, even though I have paid them the cost of the full course. They also refuse to release my daughter's proof of completion of the online class and the number of hours of behind-the-wheel she has completed. So the money I paid them is all for nothing and I would have to pay another school the full cost of the driving program and my daughter would have to start over from the beginning.

    I highly recommend. I had 3 kids go through 1st Rate Driving and never had an issue with scheduling, pick up or instruction. They did a tremendous job with the kids and my youngest had a disability that they did not bat an eye at. My kids had both instructors and they were very pleasant and respectful. I give them great respect after hearing stories from my kids about other drivers. They may have had a scary moment when driving with another student and the kid did not want to listen and almost went through a stop sign with a truck coming. Discussions were had about safety and keeping the eyes open. Thanks to the instructors quick actions (grabbing the wheel and hitting the brake)they saved everyone from an accident. That is not a job for everyone, I surely could not do. I also made sure my kids had driving practice before they went with them. My kids enjoyed the driving lessons and had learned alot. When they had questions the instructors explained everything and even drew out a scenario to help the kids understand. I highly recommend 1st Rate Driving. I have a step daughter coming up and she too will be going with them. Thank you 1st Rate Driving for all you do! See you within a few months.
