Extremely grateful to all the safety council instructors, wouldnt have been able to get my license without them! Definitely would recommend young drivers to take their classes, very helpful and professional. Pooja one of the employees was a great help, she provided me with assistance throughout the whole process and I really appreciated it.keep up the good work!

My examiner was so understanding and patient when it comes to taking the road test. At the end my examiner asked me how I thought I did, I automatically assumed I failed but look at god. Thank you so much!! I finally have my drivers license and I was able to obtain it the very next day!!

My son came for behind the wheel for his 6 free hours for being a student at University High.. our instructor Shane was so awesome! He not only made my son feel very comfortable with being with his behind the wheel class but made sure he Explained to him throughout the entire process and was a very positive and pleasant instructor! We are so satisfied and will be coming back in a few weeks to have my son take his drivers license with them! Highly Recommend this company to any student!! 5 star all the way

As a long-time driver and local law enforcement officer, I relied on the Florida Safety Council to provide my daughter with additional driver training, over and above what I taught her, to enhance her skills and competence. Through the “Bundle Package,” my daughter received three (3) 2-hour lessons and the road test, which she passed on the first attempt.The staff was extremely professional, courteous, and patient. My daughter is a safe and careful driver thanks to the instruction she received. Thank you on behalf of grateful parents!

My daughter just completed six hours of behind the wheel training with instructor, Shayne. A good but timid driver, my daughter is now driving confidently. I am thankful to have a professional instructor help fine tune my daughters driving skills. Thank you, Shayne and Florida Safety Council!

I cannot say enough about David. He has given my son 2 driving lessons and more importantly A LOT of confidence. This is the second time we have done driving lessons with the safety council and it just keeps getting better each time. The instructors are patient and easy to talk to. They teach the kids things that I wouldnt think to talk them through. They walk out after only three lessons with so much knowledge. Every kid learning to drive should take these classes! Thank you David!

My daughter took the three two hour driving lessons with the Florida Safety Council. Her first session was with Rick and her next two sessions were with Shayne. Both were gentleman and very professional. My daughter has health issues and anxiety, but felt comfortable with both instructors. Next week is her drivers license test; I will try to update after her test. Thank you to Rick, Shayne and the Florida Safety Council. One instructor I forgot to mention was Gregory because my daughter didnt get to drive with him. On the day of her second lesson she wasnt well, but we showed up anyway. After he asked how she was feeling, he advised that she should reschedule and not drive that day. He was a gentleman and very professional, as well.Update: she passed the first time and now has her license. Thank you

TERRIBLE!! I was running 2 mint late cause it’s traffic in that area always and I called them multiple times and they kept transferring me to the same person who let it goes to the voicemail. When I finally got there my instructor seem agitated. When it was time to get in the car for the road test, he was rude about it. I was nervous and tried to have conversations to ease my mind and he don’t respond. When we got into the neighborhood, the car in front of me was speeding and came to a quick stop so I pressed on the break too hard , I lost points for that, and after I was going 30 and he claim it was 36 and said that’s an automatic failure. I could’ve spent my we earned $60 in something better. I passed my road test at the dmv in Clarcona. Highly recommend that location.

I don’t use this company but they have claimed my quiet residential street as their own and are always blocking the road and have student drivers on my street 24/7. In my time writing this review I watched them block two drivers from getting down the road. Maybe they can be a little more considerate and teach in different places as to not bother people who pay to live on that street.

My son took 3 driving lessons with instructor, David Avalos, and I could not be more satisfied. Once he got his permit he had been driving with us here and there, but was a beginning driver when starting the lessons. David gave him more confidence, and taught him things that my husband and I would not have known were part of the test. Would highly recommend!

I took a lesson and the DMV Road Test at the Florida Safety Council, and I recommend it for both. Its worth noting that they can provide a vehicle for the test for a very reasonable fee, and - as a pleasant bonus - that the price for the test is reduced if you have taken lesson(s) there. The instructor was friendly and helpful, and ensured that we practiced everything that would be on the test. For the test itself I was examined by Ivan, who was very polite and professional. His feedback at the end was useful and appreciated. All in all, this is a professional and stress-free environment in which to get your drivers license.

After completing the Drivers ed course in high school I received free 6 hours of behind the wheel driving. The first two instructors were okay, but my last instructor named Veronica was amazing. She took her time, was extremely patient, kind and made sure that I succeeded in the things that she was teaching me about in the limited time frame that I was given.

You have to do an evaluation to get a certificate to be evaluated by a different evaluator only to be sent back here to schedule another evaluation to get more papers to take to the other evaluator. Ive never seen a more dysfunctional system in my life and everything costs money and your valuable time. Be prepared to spend months gathering paperwork that can honestly all be handed to you on your first visit.

If you have any fear of driving whatsoever and need a little refresher, this is the place to go! Marcus is the man! I never thought I would have the confidence to drive down the street, let alone on a major highway! I was super calm the entire time & definitely got my moneys worth. Thank you Florida Safety Council and Marcus for giving me the confidence to succeed :)

They let you sign up and pay for classes before they tell you that you cant take those particular classes. Then they tell you that youre not eligible to get a refund.The customer service ranges from transferring you around because no one knows what to do, being put on hold for 45m for them to tell you wrote a letter(which they will promptly lose, or just hanging up on you.Tread carefully with this for profit company.

Great experience taking my Road (Driving) Test with Ivan who is very pleasant and calm . He offered me additional feedback after the test which I found helpful as I am a new driver. The coordinator Wanda was extremely attentive and provided me much more needed information as far as required documents than when I visited the DMV. Service is quick , reasonably priced and the facility has easily accessible restrooms . Environment is busy downtown but the test was done in a safe area within vicinity .

My daughter has 6 free hours with Florida Virtual Schools (FLVS) for Drivers Ed. I like that there is availability on weekends, but no number to call to contact anyone, if needed. There are two entrances and if it were not for someone else leaving the other door, I would not have known where to go as the main door was locked. The Room was not labeled how the email stated, so we were a little lost. We circled around and came back to the Waiting Area and found the instructor. Eric B. taught my daughters first driver class. He was VERY professional and EXTREMELY efficient.So second lesson, Rita was the instructor who was an hour late due to her car clock being wrong. I had to chase down another instructor because all the students left the room except my daughter and I was wondering where my daughters teacher was. We waited ONE HOUR to give her the benefit of the doubt. I was hoping she did not get in an accident. She was nice, though, so I didnt want to be mean. Anyways, she was chatty, so my daughter was relieved that their time together was cut short.Third lesson we were a little late, but from chasing down the instructor the last time, I knew where the office was, so I found her. Shawnta was nice. She did not talk much, so it was a nice sweet and short closing. My daughter received her certificate the same day and we were on our way. Next is her license test. Pray for her!

Review №43

Be careful with what you say at those DUI evaluations they conduct. They are totally biased and their decisions solely revolve around the police reports. Confirmed by my evaluator. Always speak your truth although people want you to say what they want to hear. I feel like the Safety Council and MDs are trying to FORCE YOU TO BELIEVE that you are an addict/alcoholic. Dont get emotionally vested because they dont really listen to you or care about what you have to say, if you have no priors, if you are going through rough times and/or if you give them proof of being a decent human. Dont waste your time trying to appeal with the administrative review either because you cant afford additional evals. I am submerged in medical bills, home repair bills, etc.. Regardless, they will still force unnecessary additional evals/sessions upon you (AT YOUR EXPENSE) again all based on police statements, nothing to do with who you really are. Total abuse of power and money scam!!

Review №45

I went here to take the Drivers Test because one of my friends recommended it and said that it was really good so I went there. The lady in the front desk was really nice and every time someone would come back from taking their test they were happy. When it was my turn the man was rude and awful. Even before getting to the car the man said that I was illegally parked and told me to tell him why even though I wasnt the one that parke the car and he wouldnt give me the chance to tell him that and he said If you cant even tell me why it is illegally parked I should just fail you now. Right there I was immediately terrified. The piece to lower the car window broke in my car and I was trying to lower it but obviously I couldnt, he got inside the car and blatantly said I dont know for how long youve been driving but it cant be for that long because you dont even know how to lower your window I told him that the piece broke and he didnt say anything. The whole time he was serious, hands crossed, and he wouldnt tell me what to do until the last second. As it was getting close to the end of the test I had to go into a lane, I looked at both sides and there wasnt a car in sight, as I am going into the lane the man starts coughing and when I get in the lane he says Obviously you didnt see the car you just cut even though I knew that there wasnt a car that I had cut because I looked to the sides. Right as I am going to finish I get to a stop sign, stop, wait 3 seconds, and then go. Later he says Obviously you didnt see the stop sign because you didnt stop even though I told him that I did. When we finish he tells me that I didnt pass and when I am talking to my dad telling him how disrespectful the man was he asks me how old I am and when I told him my age he says You could have done better. My dad spoke with the lady in the front desk and she said that next time we didnt have to pay which was nice from her but that was the worst experience Ive ever had. I recomment this place if it isnt with that man.

During my time there I was assigned to teach behind the wheel, one on one with new students and as a state certified road test examiner. Im not sure which I enjoy the most. For sure I miss the my time there. I miss the staff the most. Great people. Fair management , which is all one can ask.Did I mention I miss the staff already!! Well, I since moved on but I definitely recommend the training, classes and the overall experience. Im certain many there miss my Turkey potluck and who can forget our lotto.Stay away from any other driving school..these guys and girls are the very best in the business.Big shout out to Wanda, minerva, marisol, veronica, jenn, Larry, isha.., bonnie, David, Bill, Mario, miguel, chris, Michelle, juanita, gosh I know I forgot many othersWell, God bless you allStay safe and stay off I4

IVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TWICE TO TAKE THIS CLASS IN ORLANDO! THE 1ST TIME I CAME, I CAUGHT A CAB ALL THE WAY THERE IN WHICH THERE WAS A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT RIGHT UP THE STREET FROM THE BLDG WHERE 2 PEOPLE DIED, SO I WAS A FULL 3 MINUTES LATE! THE MALE INSTRUCTOR WAS RUDE AND LOCKED ME OUT. HE DIDNT CARE ABOUT MY EXPLANATION, HOW I CAUGHT A CAB TO BE THERE, ME BEING PREGNANT OR ANYTHING. I EVEN SAID TURN ON THE NEWS AND YOU WILL SEE OR BETTER YET STEP OUTSIDE! HE TOLD ME TO CALL THE MAIN NUMBER BECAUSE THERE WASNT ANYTHING THAT HE COULD DO...OFCOURSE THE MAIN OFFICE CLOSED AT 6PM. SO EITHER WAY I HAD TO WASTE MONEY ON THAT CLASS AND THE CAB THERE AND BACK WITH OUT ANY SYMPATHY OR REMORSE FROM HIM. THE 2ND TIME SAME BAD LUCK. LEFT EVEN EARLIER AND CAR BROKE DOWN. I WASNT EVEN GOING TO TRY AND MAKE IT TO HAVE THE DOOR SHUT IN MY FACE AGAIN. SO I ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE MAIN OFFICE SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL 6PM HIT AND THEN THEY WERE CLOSE!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS THE ONLY LOCATION THAT I CAN TAKE THIS CLASS!

Trying to take an online course for defensive driving for Geico. It has been almost impossible to log on to take the course and when I am on, it tells me that I shouldnt leave the screen and kicks me off and makes me start that section all over againwhen I actually never left the screen.I finally got to the final exam and its an open book exam, I have one question left again, it tells me that I shouldnt leave the screen and it kicked me off. When I was finally able to log back on I had to take a complete test over I was trying to get out of that section because it look like I have two pages open and then it graded my test with 2% called me failed. Im very frustrated and I want to be able to take it over again.. my neighbor was also taking the course neither one of us were able to finish it due to all the glitches in your end

Review №51

Firstly, Id advise against this place - First Time - Examiner doesnt advise driver of proper instruction in driving thus results in automatic disqualification for lack of communication. A good half an hour of wasted time.$50 I lost.. A week later, I pay $25 for the 2nd retake.. My instructor is a different Spanish guy, somewhat chubby, wears sunglasses. Examiner fails to mention if you drive 31 mph in a 30 mph zone equals automatic disqualification. Test didnt even last 10 minutes.. Another week later, after a formal complaint and after speaking to the director of the facility. Mr. Larry states, Well, I can get you scheduled for another test FREE of charge and give you a different examiner and if you want you can have your husband ride with you. My question, why not inform your clients of the automatic disqualifications? Of course, he refused to acknowledge that by saying, I dont want you to do something you cant do. I arrive for the 3rd retake after the sexist examiner from the previous experience cost me more time and money.. The 3rd examiner was a woman, Ms. Veronica, the test initially goes well - but, she pressured me into doing things behind the wheel I normally dont do and I bump into a cone coming out of a parking spot because of it. Which is what they wanted: a reason to disqualify me. Mind you, had no issues with the parking the other two times, but all it takes is one sexist POS examiner to ruin that experience. When I asked for my husband to ride with me, Ms. Veronica refused. Even though, Mr. Larry the Director of this location authorized it. When my husband saw, a Chinese couple riding together in one of their Florida Safety Council vehicles with an examiner - he questioned it, rightfully so. When the receptionist was questioned. Her rebuttal was, The lady couldnt speak English, she needed a translator. Ironic, considering the entire situation was observed by my husband as the family had driven off together after failing their test as well. Did I forget to mention, the receptionist denied that my husband could ride with me as, Mr. Larry never notified her!My advice, stay the hell away from this fraudulent business.Regards,Consumer

I took three classes here following a road test (which i failed but will get into late why).at first, i was completely into the first two classes, loved the instructors and was learning and gaining confidence quickly. my third class was exactly before my road test which i initially Believe to be a good thing. However, the instructor, whose name was Myrna Torres, was a complete crazy person. And multiple times throughout the two hour lesson she grabbed my wheel, forcibly made me change lanes, clapped at me to speed up without giving me a chance to, and belittled my driving every chance.. not to mention we got lost twice which she blamed on my inability to follow her directions that were not properly timed. during parking, her illadvised instruction was to not look at my left side even if it was close to a cone, but rather to only pay attention to one side, not look around and punch the gas through pulling out. completely overwhelmed, I ran to my test afterwards with high anxiety and overly stressed nature that made me completely forget basic things. Initially, I was confused on how to pull out of the parking space before the test have even go completely overwhelmed, I ran to my test afterwards with high anxiety and overly stressed nature that made me completely forget basic things. Initially, I was confused on how to pull out of the parking space before the test had even begun. then, once the parking portion started, i followed her advice and totally hit a cone which resulted in me failing my exam. my advice, if you get a Myrna for a class, RUN.

They are a bunch of rip off. I would rate them a zero but I had to choose 1. Since day one they set me up to take the DUI course even though I was NOT convicted of a DUI. After 3 years of going back and forth with them about the charge, they still pleaded with me that it was manditory in order for me to receive my Classes E license. After doing my research, I discovered that I was able to obtain a FL License after the sanctioning date of suspension. The head supervisor sat me in his office only to get into an argument that their oder of command is correct even though I was appointed by my attorney that they screwed me from the get go. My attorney also advised me that go against them in the court of law would take a tremendous amount of funding in which he felt I am not capable of producing. Florid Safety Council is a bunch of rip off. I was told by my attorney that All of his black female clients had to take the Course after evaluation and NONE of their white clients were instructed to take the same course I. Which he found was very strange but once again... Funding would play a major role. Florida Safety Council are one of the bigger scamming crooks out there so people be advised before choosing to use their services. Once the suck you in, without money they have you by the balls. I was referred to them by THE TICKET CLINIC. They are all intwined with the biggest scamming in FLorida.

Zero Stars: $2100+ in additional expenses. Its a bureaucracy in the DUI industry (read below; average rating is 3/5 starts not 4/5)1) Their base price is slightly less than the competition, but they tack on administrative fees (Ill have paid almost $50 in additional fees)2) $2100+ in additional counseling fees. After taking the DUI class, you are required to fill out a questionnaire. Of those I spoke to, the questionnaire determined that everyone in my class of 18 needed costly treatment through one of their counseling partners. You are required to pick from their list of approved counselors (counselors are required to pay $500 to be placed on this list; a local counselor informed me of this). In my case, none of the services were within 25 minutes of me and none of the services (6/8) that returned my phone call accepted my insurance (state employee)3) Incompetent and misinformed reps throughout the chain of command. While going through the process of changing counseling services (mandated counseling through Florida Safety, not the courts), I received a voice message stating that my previous counselor turned in my paperwork and I needed to come in to sign a couple documents at the Kissimmee branch. Once I arrived, was told that they did not have my paperwork. I assured them that I received a message stating that they did received it. Still, the rep did not believe the error was on their behalf and refused to leave her desk to look for it a second time. I listened to the message again and gave her all pertinent details (date, time, name of rep, the paperwork turned in, what was required of me now); still, she asked that I let her listen to it on my personal cell phone! Of course, after she looked for it a second time she found it.4) Condescending customer service reps. Raised tone, talking over, speak before listening to the customer. For every 1 positive interactions, Ive had 3 that were painfully negative. I recently entered a quiet office without a greeting, and when I approached one of the CSRs she completely ignored me in person. I didnt receive service until her coworker welcomed me to her desk.

Bunch of scumbags. No manners at all, waste of time. And they just steal your money with no explanations. I took the driving test there with a prick that said I didnt do any stops, and the stupid test was all stops and I stop clean for about 5 seconds each time, and his stupid excuse was that their tablet gps is the one that reads that. And they just stole 75$ for that stupid test that lasted 3 min. They failed the girl before me for the sane exact reason. So they stole 150$ in about 10 min from the both of us. Dont go there if you font want your money stolen.

My 17 yr. old son needed driving lessons that i couldnt provide without me losing my patience and him losing his cool, so i decided to go with the FSC.Also, i wanted him to be taught by updated driving professionals eventhough i have been driving for 33 years i am sure i do not know it all or teach well.With some hestiation (because i knew nothing about the FSC) i finally decided to give them a shot and signed my son up for three lessons (7/16 - 7/18 at the Colonial Drive location) and a road test in their car. The customer service rep. (forgot her name) was very friendly, professional (explained policy and other things plus answered my million questions), and very helpful in getting my sons appointment set up correctly as time was of the essence because we had a flight to NY on 7/19 and high school was due to begin in August.The first lesson day we had some obstacles as to where to meet the instructor but afterwards all went smoothly. ERNIE and DENNIS gave my son precise professional lessons based on the road test requirements and they reviewed my sons progress with us after each lesson. My son was pleased with their teaching ability and patience plus felt confident about the whole experience.Upon returning from our trip on 7/26 we set up his road test for 9/23 because it had to be a year after 8/24/16 the date when my son obtained his learners permit. He got more time behind the steering wheel before the road test and i felt comfortable with him driving but had to provide my feedback as well.IVAN the road test examiner on 9/23 was very friendly upon greeting us and extremely professional in his mannerism. IVAN made us feel comfortable before and after the road test. IVAN asked me to remember how i felt when i first got my license, which helped me put myself in my sons shoes for awhile as he went to take the road test.Needless to say my son passed.THANK YOU ALL AT FSC FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FSC.

Dont take your driving test here. The person in the car testing me was not capable of dealing with situations and properly communicating. I fully stopped at a stop sign, checked both ways to make sure it was clear (it was) and when I started to turn, a car came around a corner from the street parallel to ours, blocked by trees and a house. As I was about to stop to let them past, my driving instructor started screaming SH SH SH SH over and over again instead of saying or doing anything actually helpful, thinking I hadnt seen them. I freaked out, thought he was having a mental or physical issue (I have never heard another human being ever just yell SH over and over again except maybe an angry elementary school teacher on TV trying to quiet their class), and slammed to turn and go (which I will fully admit Im in the wrong for) and as my tester continued to freak out with the same SH SH SH, I stopped again, then started at my usual slow, calm speed. The tester then misinterpreted the situation and tried to say I wasnt checking both ways and wasnt careful around turns (I had been in this test, and everyone Ive practiced with for the past months, including a paid instructor when my parents werent available to give lessons, have said that Im fine with safe turns and checking both ways). He also lied about being able to hear the car to both me and my dad when thats not possible because it hadnt turned the corner yet. I accept the instant fail on the driving test and I accept that I made a mistake by not being confident in my driving abilities and therefore panicking, but I do not accept the way this man handled the situation. Rest assured Ill be going to the DMV next time.

I scheduled a class with the FSC and when I showed up for the class, 10 minutes early as they recommended I found that the class was at a different location. This may have just been a mis-communication but when I arrived at the Orlando location to find out where the class was, the lady who helped me treated me like an idiot for going to the wrong location. I remained positive knowing that I was going to have to reschedule for a $15 fee, left the office and called to reschedule. When I was connected, I was told that my phone was breaking up and that I should call back. I called back no more than 10 minutes later @ 5:50pm and the offices were now closed! Very bad customer service all around. I hope that the teachers are better than the office staff. If you hate your job/life so much, get a new one!

I was able to take the lessons and my practice, they suggest you keep up and I passed my test the first time. I am so grateful for the help and now i dont have move back to NYC... lol

Tried to make an appointment for driving lessons. Everytime I called I get directed to an answering machine service. Have been trying to get an appointment for about a week now. Their Customer Service is lacking.

Can’t get an appointment for the test at the DMV, this is the best place to go and get your Driver’s License test done.

I wish i could rate this negative stars. The people are extremely rude and the test is unfair. This place riggs the test in a way where it is difficult to pass so you have to keep taking it, so they make $70 every time you have to retake it. Example: these people put the parking cones INSIDE the lines of the parking spot, making it impossible to park without hitting one.

Not a pleasant experience. Absolutely horrible people to deal with. I met with Robert Campbell and a Mr Crowley or Dr Crowley and they basically think I am a liar for saying I havent consumed alcohol since Sept 25th. Avoid this agency like the plague that it is.

Went in and paid the fee to have my paperwork sent out. Was told it would take 5 days, tomorrow will be day 14. Which means I have 6 days left for them to get my paper work, make an appointment and go in before 20 days or I have to go pay the fee again and hope they actually send it out this time... this place is a scam, stay as far away as possible and if youre court ordered to deal with this place try to get transferred somewhere else

I wouldnt suggest this place to anyone for a drivers test, they instantly fail if you do one thing wrong and take your $50.
