Darryl, the instructor I had for the 3 day session was engaged & entertaining. He kept the program interesting beyond the material and adapted to the online format very well. I would recommend A-1s program to others as the time seemed to cruise on by (for an otherwise tedious endeavor) with emphasis where it needed to be and an attentive, non-judgmental approach to all participants situations.

The class was great.. long but Darryl Oliver did a very good job keeping us motivated and engaged in class. Learned alot about the reasons I ended up in the class. Made me face a harsh reality but also betterment of myself. Thank you.

I went to this driving school in late May 2019 to lower a speeding ticket. It was easy to schedule just 5 days in advance for a Saturday. The instructor was funny and also knowledgeable. I learned two key things: 1.if your car has not entirely cleared an intersection before a light turns from yellow to red, then you could get pulled for running a red light 2. If you see a deer in the road at night, turn your lights off and back on so that the deer will run away from you and off the road.

The material was a little dry, but its important stuff to review. The instructor made it as painless as possible, and when I had my court date (for speeding), my fine was cut in half and no points were assessed to my license. I really enjoyed Mr. Fords relaxed, friendly, approachable demeanor. Hes a real asset to the driving school!

Absolutely enjoyed this class! The instructor made it super fun even though we had to sit there for 6 hours. You learn a lot about driving that you might’ve forgotten or that you never learned in drivers ed. Would highly recommend!

I went to A1 Driving School to lower a ticket. I found the scheduling easy and the staff extremely helpful. They even let me reschedule my class with no additional fee. I highly recommend this company.

I really enjoyed attending the drivers defensive class at this location. I never expected to really learn so much information in one day very easily. The instructor gave so much good examples of what to do and what not to do. The instructor was very hilarious and very entertaining. I’m very glad that I chose this location.

Very helpful team! Weeks after I took their defensive driving course I had lost my Certificate stating that I had completed the course. I emailed A-1 asking for a digital copy and they sent it to me within the hour. Couldn’t be more grateful

The lesson adequately taught me everything I needed to know in a learning environment that was comfortable and entertaining. I most definitely learned new information that I did not know before I took this class.

I just attended a State Certified Defensive Driving Class at A1 today and I have to say I’m impressed with the professionalism of the teacher Harry Siebold. His method of teaching was not only extremely informative and educational, but also relaxing.I had no idea what to expect since I’ve attended so many seminars and other various classes. Each one is very different. Mr Siebold was professional and his personality was enlightening. My hat goes off to A1 for employing teachers like Mr Siebold to help us all operate our vehicles much safely on the hazardous roads today.

I absolutely did not want to waste my entire day in a defensive driving class, however, I had an amazing experience through A-1 Driving School. The signing in process was SUPER easy. I registered myself online and even paid before the class date with no complications. Then once I actually arrived everyone was just so friendly. I met my instructor, Ron Gibbons, while I was walking in. He was funny, willing to help, and someone I would trust to instruct me through this time. During the class he made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and he created an interesting learning environment. A-I Driving School also had up-to-date technology and intriguing videos/ slide. They also provided pizza for lunch, and it just doesnt get better than that ladies and gents. The staff truly devotes their day to see you succeed through this course. I would highly recommend this program!

My experience at this class was good, this was mainly thanks to my instructor for the class. John Ford was very good, he took the subject of defensive driving seriously but also made it interesting for us all. I was able to learn something in this class which I will be applying to my driving.

Very friendly staff. Got free pizza for lunch! The defensive driving course was very informative and surprisingly one of the least boring classes Ive ever had to sit through. Definitely didnt feel like 6 hours! I definitely recommend A-1 for classes. If I ever have to do another, Ill be doing it here!

I came in dreading the day. I could think of a million other places I would have rather been. But after coming in and being greeted by Ms. Diane, I didnt think itd be so bad. The DDC teacher, Mrs. Hobbs, was fantastic. She actually made the course kind of fun. If I ever had to do this again, theres no doubt Id come here.Course taken: January 9, 2016

Jill was by far the best teacher Ive ever had. She gave her students time to talk and tell their own stories and she kept the class interesting with her bright personality, humor, and personal stories. The facility itself was very clean and simple, and the other staff were friendly and didnt mind carrying on a conversation during the breaks. If I ever have to take a defensive driving class again (which I probably will just to help make my insurance cheaper) I hope Jill can be my teacher again.

I couldnt have picked a better place to take my defensive driving course.

A-1 is a fantastic place to attend defensive driving school. The faculty at A-1 are amazing, they are super friendly! Taking the course with A-1 will for sure make you a better driver out on the roads. The class is taught to where you stay interested the entire time and you will learn so much that will keep you safe on the roads. I would recommend A-1 to everyone, its great!

I had a wonderful experience! A very laid back classroom, no monotony and/or strict setting. I personally feel as if that I walked out of the classroom with something that I learned and like a much better prepared driver!!!

On Saturday morning 9/23/17 I had to complete a course for Defensive Driving for the first time in my 50 years after having 2 minor accidents so close together. I am so happy that I attended. Dr. Averhart was totally awesome from the moment I walked in & he explained the 6 hour course with his wonderful personality. :) Everyone at the Jesse Jewel location in Gainesville Georgia was off the chain with niceness & the classroom was perfect.Thank you for everything!

I recently took a Defensive Driving Class at A-1 Driving School and I thought it was very informative while not being super boring. They even fed us pizza and we got to learn about road rage driving. If I ever need to take defensive driving again, I definitely would take it here.

Review №65

Like most people that have to take a defensive driving course I was not at all looking forward to spending 6 of my precious Saturday hours sitting in a class learning about things I already had a pretty firm grasp on. However, it was not the fun-sucking torture fest I was imagining. Harry Siebold was such a sweet instructor. He was very nice and joked around easily. It made the class fun. Not to mention we got free pizza on our hour lunch break. Nothing beats free pizza! 10/10 would recommend A1 to anyone else looking to take a defensive driving course!
