Thank you so much Driving MBA. Two of my kids graduated from your program, and I am very happy with the results. I have 2 very safe drivers. I appreciate how well your program is run and all the excellent information you provide to both students and parents. Thank you for everything you do.

This is our second driver who came through the MBA program. They have the most thorough training and have exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them for training and will be back in the future!

Not a fan of the facility, cars, instruction and instructors. Failed both my children over silly excuses that were out of their control. Come back with $120 and take it again tho Other drivers dont like these MBA stickered cars and drive aggressive around them making it difficult for students. Went elsewhere and passed easily and with less stress and DURING THE DAY. It seems MBA only had night appointments making it even more difficult. Not sure why I brought my second child but my last three kids will be going elsewhere.

This was a great decision for our daughter. The day she recevied her permit we went out driving and she was driving good until we got home and drove through the garage door. She was terrified. She would not even talk about driving school for fear of hurting the instructor. It took us a couple of months to get her to look at driving schools on line. She decided to sign up with DrivingMBA. Best choice ever! She still did not drive much as she was doing the simulators classes. But after her first on the road drive she was ready to go. She has become very confident driver. She enjoyed the defensive driving lessons and feels very confident she can handle any situation. I highly recommend DrivingMBA!

We have sent both of our boys there over the last couple of years. The instructors are Amazing and what the school teaches is what these young kids really need to learn to stay safe. HIGHLY recommend them!

I had two sons in the Driving MBA program and I couldnt be more pleased. I believe my teenagers have been given the skills they need to be safe and conscientious drivers on the road! I highly recommend this program for students AND parents (the parent course was a terrific refresher for me).

Learning the vital lessons on road safety and the dos and dont while operating a vehicle - is going to be with your teenager for life. The team at Driving MBA truly take the time to ensure they deliver on these critical lessons to your child. I was truly impressed with the quality of their lessons, the responsibilities of driving class (theoretical), their simulation labs and the on-road instructions. Their instructors are ALL truly amazing, every one of them. They making the learning a lot of fun. The experience from the time we called in to enroll, all the way thru a few months later when our child got his on-road test completed - was above-par. Driving MBA exceeded our expectations. Yes, there are other, perhaps cheaper driving school around the valley. But, if you are truly vested in teaching your child the good habits and lessons of being on the road - look no further! Driving MBA is really good!

Great program, I love that children are taught on a simulator. I know its not the same as being on the road but it gives them a sense of what its like to make mistakes before they get on the road. I like that they involve the parents every step of the way, by making them come in after a class to talk with them about their childs progress and by making parents attend a parent class. They teach your child and you how to handle this big step in their life and yours. Amazing staff and an outstanding experience.— Tammy Watt

Well, what can I say about this Driving MBA school. This driving school is above and beyond as it has taught me how to drive safely and responsibly on my own terms. All of the entire staff members including the instructors are really nice people and they take their time to explain all of the complete methods when it comes to being behind the wheel learning how to drive. Driving MBA offers all kinds of lessons, courses, training, and everything else when it comes to driving any type of motor vehicle. This is not just a driving school for teenagers but it is also for adults too. Driving MBA school is for all ages admitted from teenagers to adults. Basically, driving can be very dangerous and handing car keys to your teenage kids before they are really ready for the responsibility to get behind the wheel could have very dire consequences. If you want your teenage/adult son or daughter to learn how to drive a vehicle in a very safe responsible way, then you must take them here. In my honest opinion, Driving MBA is top notch and they are way better than any other driving schools out there. If you go to any other driving schools out there, they are not the same as this school right here. Driving MBA has all kinds of programs and everything to offer on the table to help anyone become a safe driver such as myself. Recently, I have graduated from this Driving MBA school and I am finally on my way to become a new driver in a more safe responsible way. I am a special needs person with autism who has wanted to learn how to drive for a long time and the time had finally came to pass. Driving MBA also has special needs programs available as well. I want to give special thanks to all of the staff members as well as the instructors for teaching me all kinds of things in regards to driving and all that great stuff. If I could give this place between 10 to 20 stars, I would but 5 stars will do though. Sometimes, driving can become a very daunting task at first when you start out but please dont panic or fret because you got all of these wonderful instructors to teach you everything in many ways that there is to know about driving a motor vehicle of all types. They can help you lead a better life as a new driver and they will never let you down in any way. They can also make learning how to drive so much fun because driving is a privilege and fun. Otherwise, I very highly recommend this place for new future drivers and many others who are willing to learn how to drive without hesitations. Driving MBA is one of the best driving schools at my mom and dads expenses as it was a time and money well spent. Again, highly highly recommended.Marko John Gadza aka John Gadza Jr.

Driving behind a class in session. No turn signals used in traffic circle, no complete stop at stop sign. Do Not let your children use this service to learn how to drive...not safe of correct instruction at all.

After our first son went through the Driving MBA program, there was no question that our second son would too. The program offers an all encompassing driving instruction experience. I feel that our sons are now much safer and more prepared for the road than we could ever teach them.

This school is amazing. The instructors are fun and knowledgeable. I really liked the sim lessons. It made it easy to practice Driving knowledge before going on the road. Kathy and Dev are amazing. They motivate young drivers like me to learn and practice the safest rules on the road. Thank you MBA. Looking forward to becoming a good driverPS. The school has a lot of resources for parents. And the process is flawless. They really care. Great communication. Alex Dana and Bogdan.

This is an outstanding organization. The do an excellent job of training students who come from a variety of life situations. My girls were from different countries and they helped them to learn all that they needed to learn to drive in this country. When a student completes this course they are thoroughly trained and able to be good defensive drivers. Everyone should be required to take this course. The staff is very skilled in teaching. We are very grateful for Driving MBA

My daughter now corrects my driving techniques. So much has changed since I was in drivers ed a million years ago! Even the parent class was enlightening. This program should be mandatory for all drivers!

I really feel the training my son received at Driving MBA was very beneficial and definitely prepared him to drive safely in our community. I feel confident he was given the tools to be a safe, confident, and defensive driver. I enrolled him in all the classes they offered as well as took him driving as much as I could when he had his permit. I will definitely enroll our other son in Driving MBA when he is old enough.

Review №23

Both of our daughters took the course and benefited greatly. I believe that my husband and I also gleaned a lot of benefit from their training, especially how to be a better ride-a-long parent and ways to improve the safety of our own driving. The instructors really care about having a new *safe* driver on the road and are willing to go the pace of the student. They have instructors that can be especially mindful of the issues facing anxious drivers so that is a plus.

We are using Driving MBA for the third time...because this company takes educating and equipping new drivers very seriously. We have been highly satisfied with their classes and instructors, and the invaluable simulator sessions. Driving MBA is a great choice for parents looking for a comprehensive, professional driving program.

Review №25

It was extremely helpful. Especially the simulators, since I had never driven before, it was a very good way to start, instead of having to go straight to driving with an actual car. I advise everybody to do the same. You really learn to be a safe driver, even though it is a bit time consuming, its definitely worth it.

I sent my son here after trying to teach my first three children on our own. I thought it was a thorough program. Alittle expensive however, for the same program we used to get for free in the schools. If it were a bit cheaper more people might be able to take advantage of it. I think the program itself was great and the staff was professional throughout.

Both my teen have completed the Driving MBA program. It was worth the time, money and effort involved on our part. The program is well-designed to teach the teen not just how to drive but also how to be a responsible, defensive driver. I highly recommend this driving school to all my friends with teens.

Really disappointed. First quoted a rate of $130 for a single session with a specific instructor and after completing a large number of forms, upped the price for the same service to $200. PRICE GAUGING! REALLY DISAPPOINTED! Thus is inpite of having used them in the past!

We really love this driving school because they are very thorough and they have excellent teachers and fabulous simulator programs with state-of-the-art computer technology that prepares kids for all kinds of traffic situations. The only reason I cant give 5 stars is because they do not offer a parking class in Gilbert. The class is only offered once a month on a Sunday morning very early and it is 45 minutes away in North Scottsdale. Had I known this I would not have signed up for the class but it is now non-refundable. Kids are proven to not learn as well early in the morning and this time of day and day of the week and location are extremely inconvenient for us. I was told its never offered and Gilbert because not enough people sign up but it should be clearly stated in advance that this class is only offered once a month on Sunday morning at the location on the other side of town. or they should start offering it in Gilbert for whomever signs up!

This is our second child going through this thorough program. The simulators and defensive driving experiences offer real life situations which are invaluable to new drivers. The instructors are professional and offer constructive corrections that are effective for young teens. Driving MBA makes consistent reminder calls and reaches out if classes open up sooner. In addition, before the student can schedule a new drive they must accomplish 20 hours of driving for a total of 60 hours of driving. Double what the MVA requires.

I have two daughters that attended the Driving MBA program. Their defensive driving simulators taught our girls the importance of scanning, staying alert to potential driving hazards, and stopping before an intersection (1st line of a crosswalk) in order to keep a safe distance from potential red-light runners (AZ ranks #2 in the country). Arizona is a melting pot of drivers - some who learned years ago on rural areas of this country, some who forget the importance of using turn signals, and some who just dont give a hoot as to the example they are setting for our young people. Speed limits are ignored in this Whats In It For Me society where everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere because of poor planning. The instructors and owners of Driving MBA are amazing, patient souls to partner with to teach your child to be a responsible, alert driver. Learning to drive is a process and we are forever grateful to Driving MBA for helping us put qualified drivers on the road!

The fact that owners are trolling ratings websites speaks for itself. Calling my underage daughter as a client out by name is probanly illegal and for fure unethical and we ask you delete this post. She was made to feel small and belittled by staff enough already (no names mentioned)If this Is your best staff (carrying a michael kors designer purse so they definitely are paid very well)no wonder your business model is failing. So sad and unethical.Not ro mention your gauging people who miss couses at least $175 on their filed credit card... per your last email to all your clients dated yesterday.So sad and wrong. In addition to a waste of money...Waste of moneyHorrible instructionAfter months of work failed my daughterPassed AZ dmv ourselves no problemTerrible instruction!!!Dont waste the $$

Three of my four children went through Driving MBA, and how I wish that the fourth one had also! From the moment I came kicking and screaming to the mandatory parent class that I THOUGHT I was too busy to take (boy was I wrong), I have been impressed with this company, their staff, and their services on every level.The parent class was informative, sobering, and worth every minute (and I ended up taking it twice), and helped me and my husband to not only enhance our kids experience, but it also helped US become better drivers as well!Over the past 8 years, we have worked with several Driving MBA instructors, and weve gleaned valuable help from every single one of them. They were all excellent teachers and very thorough, and everything they did was geared toward establishing good habits and SAFE drivers. One woman in particular would not let my youngest son get away with ANYTHING that would compromise his or others safety to the point that he complained about it at home (those teenage boys sometimes think they know more than adults, right?), but in the end he came to respect his teacher and is now one of our best drivers.I would be happy to talk to any parent who is considering putting their child through Driving MBA. It was more expensive than other options out there, but I remain convinced that our family could not have spent our money on anything more worthwhile than the best program weve found to produce safe drivers and afford us the peace of mind that we have taken steps to protect our children.— Valeri Marsh

Review №36

I had high hopes for this program, but in the end it was disappointing. I think most of the driving instructors are excellent and their mission of turning out safe drivers is terrific, but the execution was mediocre at best. We were told at the parent class that they would not just pass a student through the program, but whenever we asked about our daughter repeating a simulation lab or on-road session that she had not passed, we were always told that she should just keep going. I would have been happy to pay for her to repeat the things she did not do well in, but I could not persuade schedulers/receptionists to let her do this. In the end, she was given a certificate of completion, but she did not feel confident about her driving ability and frankly neither did we. I tried emailing and calling to set up additional lessons and was willing to pay for those, but after many days of no response and then playing phone tag, we decided to look around and see if we could find someone who really wanted our business. Today we signed our daughter up for a program at NControl Driving School and will review that program after we have completed it. If you decide to go with DrivingMBA, I would recommend doing the Busy Parents program so you get more professional on-road instruction and making sure that you ask to ride along for those sessions, so you know how to instruct your child. You are expected to do 20 hours of driving with your child between each on-road training/evaluation session.

I found this to be an exceptional experience for my teen. It is truly a shame a course such as this is not REQUIRED in order to obtain a license in AZ. The knowledge my teen received is something I could not relay to them. After driving for 23 years we become very complacent. TOO comfortable believing we can handle anything when we are behind the wheel. Things become very robotic inside the car when you have been a driver so long. I wanted my teen to learn to drive from a source that could give them the knowledge I myself have long since ignored. Be honest with yourselves. Is there such a thing as a rolling stop? Yellow doesnt mean speed up! Who said we could drive 10 miles over the speed limit? The cost of this program is so minimal compared to the tragedies that occur on our roadways everyday. Their safety is more important to me. My teen is a safe driver, I feel comfortable with them driving. Even though the course has ended the learning will never stop! I will continue to work with them, and make sure the knowledge they have learned sticks. I have learned alot on this year long journey with my new driver. I wish more people could find a way to give this opportunity to their new drivers. So much more information then I could ever give, and a walk up call to myself as well. I cant thank MBA enough for their dedication in teaching our youth!Much appreciation
