The owner of this business expects students to complete behind the wheel training while sick, or the parents pay a $50 fee. Since she doesn't know how to build overhead costs into her business, she says she "still needs to pay the drivers" so that money must immediately come from the driver's family. Regardless of fever, doctor's notes, or anything else, and despite the money you've already paid, they would rather their drivers get sick than learn how to run a business properly and manage overhead costs without having to charge their pupils extra. I do not recommend this school unless you want zero control over your kid's schedule, since they schedule their BTW themselves, and you want to be penalized for illness.

Update!! Thanks to Andre, I was able to pass my road test on the first try! It was worth every penny!

My daughter failed first road test in St. Cloud and followed up with D and E with two hours of instruction followed by the road test at Arden Hills. The instructor John was an incredible person, treated my daughter so well, very informative, answered all the questions while being extremely patient. She passed the test and could not thank John enough.

My experience was so incredibly positive with D&E driving. . I did have trouble with the online scheduling system, but when I called the office I was able to get something scheduled within the next week.
I scheduled a 2-hour lesson and road test. My instructor, John, was wonderful! John was able to pick me up from work and drop me back off, which was so helpful. He was so friendly, funny, and taught me to look for certain visual cues that really helped with learning how to park. I also was grateful that I was able to use D&E's car for the road test, otherwise I don't know when I would have been able to test.
I passed my road test on the first try and am so grateful for the services D&E provides. I recommend them to anyone who needs help passing their road test!

Multiple subjects were skipped over in classes and weren't explained well. The receptionist was very rude while scheduling behind the wheel appointments.

We have used this driving school with three different children. I would highly recommend it. I like the flexibility of the classes and the instructors are very good.
