Instructors were amazing and attentive! I learned a lot as a student and my mother felt safe with me driving with all of my instructors. Customer service was amazing and I always had a pleasurable experience scheduling appointments. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Read Less

I’m giving this 2 stars because, while I did pass my driving test in the end, it was not because of the training I received here. Throughout my time with the program, I had a different instructor nearly every session, and none of them seemed to have any real understanding of my current skill level or progress. This inconsistency made it difficult to build confidence or feel like I was improving. We were also promised a full practice test during the final hour of driving, but that never happened — which was disappointing and made me feel unprepared for what the actual test would be like. The classroom instruction was helpful for the most part, but there were several sections that felt unnecessary and not directly related to the skills or knowledge needed to pass the exam. During the behind-the-wheel sessions, I often noticed the instructors would be distracted — answering phone calls, looking down at their devices, or focusing on things other than my driving. That left me without the active guidance and feedback I was expecting and paying for. To be fair, everyone I interacted with was kind, patient, and understanding, and I appreciated that. However, the quality of instruction just wasn’t where it needed to be. If it hadn’t been for the extra practice I received with my family outside of the program, I’m confident I wouldn’t have passed the test. I would recommend looking elsewhere or supplementing their lessons heavily if you want to feel truly prepared. Read Less

I was afraid to learn to drive almost 30 and not driving l wanted to but was stuck in my head and afraid even family was afraid to teach me so I called and booked my appointment. My trainer was Mr Walter and to say he was excellent would’ve been an understatement. In order for my physical growth i needed to rid myself of the cage I was in mentally and he did just that, though blunt he was blatantly honest and as such exceptionally great. Boss lady you made it easy booking and helped with the work around with my work schedule. Thank you each and everyone who contributed it was seamless. Read Less

We had an amazing experience. The staff answered and returned phone calls, it was easy to make appointments, they eased my concerns. My child took the drivers Ed course and the 6 hour behind the wheel and this was everything required for the Georgia law for teen drivers. She was able to take her road test with the company and they explained everything in detail including the forms needed from school. All that we have to do is take the paperwork to the DMV. I thought we only had one driving school in Columbus....I could not get a call back or appointment with them---Safe Teen called me back within an hour AND this company was $100 less. Read Less

I had the pleasure of enrolling with the Driving Academy and the experience was superb!! My tutor was very professional and displayed a high level of driving skills and patience. He also helped build and strengthen my confidence and as a result I passed the road test with flying colors first attempt!! My examiner was awesome as well and so was my communication with Customer service. It was excellent. I wish to thank your school for such a terrific and rewarding experience!! I highly recommend the Driving Academy to any and everyone wishing to attain their Drivers License. Again, THANK YOU for all you do by placing safe drivers on the roads of Columbus GA. Read Less

I scheduled for a 2 day class to lower my insurance the day it was to begin. there are several others to choose from and wish I had. as I was arriving to the site I get a call saying he didn't have enough students to have a class, at this time it was too late to find one for that day. he gave me the impression he wanted more money for his time. a total con artist! they have no commitment mentality, total dirt bags. i will never go again!
