We have enjoyed taking drivers test here. All my boys past and he was very helpful. Thank u

I will be comparing my road test experience with this driving school vs. DMV. The exams are 1 month apart; Cherokee then DMV.The examiner from Cherokee got so frustrated when I couldnt execute the instructions he gave. He was irritated and it felt like he was mad that I couldnt understand what he meant. In the end I was able to do it but that was kind of difficult to recover from especially it happened at the beginning of the test.During my road test with DMV, I misunderstood one of the instructions also at the beginning of my exam, but the lady patiently repeated the instructions and let me give it another go. She constantly reassured me to stay calm, its going to be ok, and theres nothing to worry about.There was a lot of pressure when I took the DMV test after I failed with Cherokee because I didnt want to pay another $60 and risk getting the same experience as I had before. During that time, DMV didnt have any more available schedule for road tests. I was nervous in both exams but the examiners definitely played a part in the outcome.Another thing I noticed was how the Cherokee examiner treated his staff. This isnt relevant to the road test but you can tell a lot from the way a person treats the people he works with. He was rude to his staff in front of customers. And although he tried to mask it by throwing a couple of jokes and laughing about it, still, I dont know anyone who would be comfortable to be in that situation.

Quality instructions good rider class.

Thomas is a very good teacher and one of the best motorcycle riders i have ever seen. If you want to learn how to drive or ride hes your man.

Great instructor ! I was very nervous going into my test as everyone taking a drivers test is, the instructor spoke calmly and explained the wrongs even during the test. I learned while I was testing. Totally recommend, so happy !

It was and amazing experience he was a really calm and cool guy and he makes sure to tell you what to do so you know when your on your own. As a young driver it was great because still during the test he was teaching me thing overall I loved it 100/10 would recommend

Old man with a beard started getting frustrated while I was driving and it made me really nervous which effected my driving. I paid 50 extra dollars to rent their vehicle for the test just to fail it. After the test I felt insulted when the man told my friend my life was made based off of where I told him i was from when he asked, because personally it has been an awful experience. I hadnt drove for 3 years, dont treat me like im an idiot

My daughter took drivers education courses from both schools in Fairbanks. She much preferred the instruction which she received from Thomas. She felt that she was more relaxed, learned much more, and was much more proficient after her sessions with Thomas. My husband and son took the motorcycle course together and enjoyed it.I would highly recommend Cherokee Riders for drivers education AND motorcycle training. You will not be disappointed.

The instructor was awesome he made my son feel at ease when he seen he was nervous I highly recommended him and the school to anybody that wants the child to have a great time learning to drive

Dude had a terrible attitude to me which made me feel very pressured and nervous, he had no chill, I was trying to be nice and everything cause I was excited but he was just rude and I failed , DO NOT RECOMMEND, they just want the money

The main instructor (and owner?) is a borderline senile old man who is extremely rude and very easily aggravated. Id go with a different driving school unless there were no other choices.

Very friendly

If I could give this place zero stars I would! They are a scam especially if you don’t have your own vehicle. If you can’t pass the parallel parking portion which is the first thing they take you to do then you automatically fail. They do not take you through the rest of the test so you can learn what you need to work on. It seems they only care about taking people’s hard earned money. If you’re looking to take the test I would highly suggest going through the DMV. These guys are a scam, a joke and a waste of money.

I was headed back to work in the fast lane doing about 55 lots of snow on the road and people driving slow. Noticed a student driver car in front of me going quite a bit under the speed limit in the fast lane barely passing the people in the slow lane. So he sees me get about 3 seconds off his rear end(legally). Thought about honking but decided could be a student driver even though he shouldn’t be in the fast lane if that’s the case so I’m polite and just keep back a little hoping he will move. Well he does almost instantly at the first opportunity so I thought awesome the guys. Wing polite what a considerate driver. And as I pass I look over to see one oversized (for the little Chevy sonic) older man who appears to be the instructor with no one else in the car, flipping me off as I drive by. Mind you I was 100% legal and considerate with my actions just trying to ride the road within the laws I am aloud. He’s obviously in a hurry as well if he’s in the fast lane but instead of creating a good example for drivers and promoting good road habits like a drivers Ed class should. They decided to do something that could instill road rage amongst other things promoting terrible road practices.If this is how they instructors and possibly what loooked like the owner drive on the roads IN CONPANY VEHICLES then I can only imagine what they are teaching our kids and fellow people on the road that need help.I strongly recommend you finding another company if you need help driving unless you want your child stabbing someone or getting stabbed in the joans parking lot from road rage because they do as they are taught by the people you expect them to trust.Side note. Dude should really seek a therapist if he’s that mad driving without a student present. I’d hate to see how he is treating the students if people wanting to drive by the law piss him off.

I was so nervous, and then he made me laugh and smile and driving in the car wasnt stressful at all. I was very grateful!

It would be great to have online registration option for convenience or to be able to send the paperwork via email to be filled out to enroll. Thanks for considering this feedback.

Took the road test and failed it for a few petty things. They have no incentive to pass you since you pay $60 (or $100 with their car) each time you take a test with them. You would think they would charge less for subsequent tests but they dont so we will use another agency next time.

This guy is really rude. Just go to the DMV!
