I would highly recommend this driving school I had Aisa and Saul for my instructor hats off to them. Their teaching techniques, “chef kiss”. They are super knowledgeable and they have great techniques. If you are anxious, I highly recommend them. They correct you in a manner that doesn’t destroy your confidence. Learnt about them last minute after having a very bad experience with Global Driving Academy. They will equip you with the knowledge, the confidence that you need to be a good driver. Highly recommended this School.

I recently obtained my Class A CDL through Dutchess School of Driving, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. The entire process was smooth, thorough, and well organized. The staff ensured that every aspect of the administrative process was handled accurately and efficiently.
My instructor, Carlos, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to helping his students succeed. He clearly explained all the requirements and took the time to teach in a way that made the material easy to understand and apply. His instruction was a major factor in my success.
If you’re looking to obtain a CDL or any other license, I highly recommend Dutchess School of Driving. Thank you to Carlos and the entire team for a great experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dutchess School of Driving was amazing with my daughter, especially Victor. He was her favorite instructor because he took the time to be patient, thorough, and teach her the skills she needed to become a confident driver.
We had previously tried another driving program, and unfortunately my daughter did not pass her road test. After working with Victor and the other instructors at Dutchess School of Driving, she learned valuable driving techniques and gained the confidence she needed. I'm happy to say that she passed her road test today!
I also want to thank the entire staff. Everyone in the office was incredibly helpful throughout the process. They kept me informed every step of the way, and I especially appreciated the reminder and update calls before each driving lesson.
Thank you all for your dedication, professionalism, and support. We truly appreciate everything you have done. Keep up the excellent work! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They are really good and helpful. I got to practice for 10 hours with them each Session, 1 hour and 20 minutes. They helped me get ready for my driver's test, and I took my 5-hour online course with them. Definitely recommend. All 3 driver instructors that I’ve ment were nice and Patient. I had Alex, Pete, and Eissa (hope I spelt her name right.)

Thank you to the awesome team at Dutchess driving school. The office staff was awesome to work with. They worked extremely hard so I could have a schedule that worked for me. My instructor Carlos was absolutely awesome. Taught me some great tricks and all the rules of the road so that I could pass my first try. Testing day was nerve wracking but they also had someone from the team there to help explain everything and make sure it went smoothly. Thanks again for all you guys do.

Started in January this year with a 15 hr package deal and it was an great experience! My teacher, Anna, was so patient with me the whole time and Isa whipped me into shape right before my road test today. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn how to drive! Also, Carlos, the 5 hr driving course instructor, is super funny and you should take the class with him!

Obtained my CDL Class B License with the help of Dutchess School of Driving. They advised me on what to expect on my practical exam and advised me on how many lessons too take before scheduling my practical test. They provided excellent advise and guidance. I feel that it was well worth the cost to use their knowledgeable instructors and their truck for the test. On the day of the test my trainer was there to not only give a final lesson but also to calm my nerves and tell me that I will pass. Everyone from the owner, instructors and the front desk were great! I highly recommend them if you need to get your CDL.

I had called several places to obtain information on the school itself, how long instructors were teaching at the school, etc..... I called Dutchess School of Driving and explained my son needed driving lessons. We felt he was somewhat of a nervous driver and we wanted him to feel comfortable behind the wheel. I spoke to Jacquie who was so helpful and she suggested that Lily take our son for his driving lessons. I would recommend Lily to anyone! She gave my son the confidence he needed to drive. She provided him with important information and what to look for to be a safe driver. I would definitely recommend Dutchess School of Driving and Lily as the instructor. She is so good at it!
