Central Driving Academy taught me in a very efficient and professional way. The class can be as fast or as slow as you want it to be. Any questions I would ask I would get a thought through and helpful answer. I 100 percent recommend going to Central out of any other driving school.

Central Driving Academy is such an awesome place!! I had amazing experiences both in the classroom and behind the wheel. The classroom portion is extremely easy because you can come in whenever your schedule allows. The behind the wheel lessons were efficient and I learned so much during them. My driving instructor, Yvette Sanchez, was so nice, made everything so easy, and most importantly taught me so much in just 5 lessons! She was so fun to work with and I loved spending time with her. I would definitely recommend Central to my friends and family!

It was a great experience. There was lots of 1 on 1 time through the permit process, and I eventually got my permit in a week--a lot quicker than I had expected. Also, there was great communication and amazing teaching during on the road lessons. In addition, Central Driving Academy guided us through the drivers license process and even helped us get it quicker. Much appreciated and well run business! Would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed learning how to drive here. There were not many people actually in the class when I was there so I was able to have more one-on-one time with my teacher which was really helpful. Overall, I had a really good experience!

The people there are so welcoming to all kids, no matter the circumstances. the environment has allowed to me to feel comfortable with those around me and able to share my concerns and fear with driving. i have learned so much from this experience and it would have been possible without the help of this lovely facility, the information, and the people.

Loved the lessons! Penn is a wonderful, dedicated, and very competent driving instructor! I’ve never had an instructor teach this well with point-by-point guidelines for everything. Yvette is also an excellent and enthusiastic instructor! Also, shout out to the other girls there (including Emily), who have made scheduling these lessons a breeze!

THE BEST driving school I could EVER come across with. My friend had previously taken this course with them over the summer and recommended that my brother and I take their classes too. This is such an amazing school for drivers ed. The environment is incredible and the staff are so kind, funny and very caring with their students. They make the experience worth every minute. My brother and I made the right choice Choosing Central Driving Academy

It was the perfect place to go! Staff was extremely friendly and always keen on answering my questions. They made the classes fun and not boring like you would normally expect. It was a fun experience that I would highly recommend to my friends and family. They helped me achieve my goal of getting my drivers permit as soon as possible. If I could give this place 10/10 stars I would!

The way that they treat students here is amazing. VERY flexible schedules that can fit anyone. Also the behind the wheel sessions are phenomenal! The teachers are very attentive 100% of the time and make sure we get what we need.Ms. Rojas also did a great job teaching me how to how drive and taught me how to park in the city. She was kind, relatable, and a very good teacher.

My student experience with the central driving academy was excellent. The teachers were helpful and gave me the materials necessary to be a good driver. Outside of the classroom the behind the wheel sessions taught me a lot, and have helped me become a confident driver. Central is great!

Would not recommend to anyone.Make sure you understand what is Lesson. The actual driving time is less that you driving. Also, in my case they were always at least 15 min late. Once they notified me 5 minutes before class, that instructor is late for 45 minutes.They are interested in your money - so theyll try to teach you as long as possible. You can spend a lesson doing mostly the left turn.

Ms. Rojas made my driving lessons worth the money. She was kind, respectful and was really good at teaching me how to drive. She made me look forward to a driving lesson because she would be the one teaching it. She made sure I knew what I was doing and prepared me for my driving test.

Central Driving Academy’s Driver Education course is remarkable. With the informational videos and countless quizzes/exercises, I was more than prepared to hit the road after I finished the course. I can’t wait to see what my driving experience will evolve into. Thanks Central!

Saw one of their cars on the road today stopped in the middle of Ashland to let a car cross Ashland. Unfortunately, thats not how that works as there wasnt a stop sign so I gave a little beep as I was behind them. The teacher proceeded to scream out the window, have her student pick up his phone to take a photo of me while driving, and she proceeded to call someone, I assume the police. Good luck girl, maybe you should stick to teaching your students how to follow the law and now pick up a phone in the middle of driving.

If I could give this place less then one star I would! Tried this place for two of my kids and both times they were horrible: Organization of classes, getting classes set up, communication, cancelation of classes, never available to answer questions (I actually went in person when they said they would be there and no one ever was), unprofessional, rude, and lied to us constantly. Im embarrassed to have tried twice with this place...DONT DO IT, STAY AWAY...plus my kids told me they were encouraged to cheat and many times just hung out.

Review №54

Terrible! Do not use this company. We pre-paid for classroom time and showed up several times to find the doors locked, no answer when we called, no return call, no explanation and NO APOLOGY! Then months later when we scheduled driving time and tried to call to change the time, NO ONE EVER ANSWERED THE PHONE. We were told via recorded message changes would not be accepted via voice mail so we did not leave a message! They did call me back however.....to say we now owed them a cancellation fee! WORST OF ALL...When my child was driving, the teacher was TEXTING! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Ridiculously bad business all the way around. Find another driving school. We are a Parker family. Use Nova Driving school instead which was recommended by several Parker Families. I wish I would listened.
