I am now on my second experience with this driving school. So I'll describe both.
1. I showed up to an in person class on the first day with my medical alert service dog. When I attempted to walk inside, the instructor stopped me saying he wasn't notified a dog was in the class. I explained that she was a service dog, and she was permitted to go with me per federal and state law, but for the sake of my education I was willing to send my dog back home with my mom and take the class without her, since I had friends in the class with me that could help in the event of a medical emergency. He then told me that I would have to take the online class, because I couldn't be in his classroom due to my conditions. I was not medically excused, I was told I could still take the class. Just not in that instructor's room. I then called his supervisor and was told to attend the next session, and that he had no right to kick me out for that. Unfortunately I was in a hospital the next week. Under this school, you can't miss 2 days for aby reason, so I accepted that I would have to get into another class. My problem is that we were not refunded even though I missed class due to the instructor, not anything of my doing (the first day).
2. I am currently enrolled in a virtual class. First red flag is this: the rules for the virtual class are incredibly controlling. For example: a student cannot talk to any other person in the house at any point, including siblings or parents. You also cannot take the class at any kind of workplace or really anywhere outside of the home. This is a major problem and defeats the entire purpose of virtual classes. Kids in my class have been kicked out of the zoom meeting for these things, and yes, now they are responsible for attending the make-up day. That's not the only problem though: On the assignments they give us, it is an incredibly common occurrence to find a question that is nearly incoherent and forces you to overthink the question, and therefore get it wrong. They also repeatedly give trick questions, and when a question itself is written or scored wrong, the instructors refuse to give leeway or fix the question.
As you can tell, these have been incredibly stressful experiences. I do not recommend this school at all.
And just to add: My service dog lies under my desk during the entire zoom call working as if she would have in the in person class, out of pure spite. Read Less
