It was a cool learning experience at this place, it isn’t awkward at all when you’re doing your drives with them and they communicate what to do and how to do things without making you nervous. It’s affordable & cheap, plus the best people I’ve ever met. Thankful for this place to show me how to drive !

Professional and clear I would fully recommend this school, all the employees at First Pass were super helpful and took the time to assist me navigating the confusing DOL system. For my driving test I found the instructions to be incredibly clear and calm which helped me pass! I would recommend First Pass to anyone with apprehensions going into their test I am very grateful for having found this school

I took a driver license test with them today, and they definitely live up to their name of being a first pass driving school. The person who was grading my driving test/exam was very clear with what directions I needed to make and always clarified if I misunderstood anything. Scheduling an appointment for a test with them was great where they went out of their way to make sure I could get an appointment before my permit expired and were very flexible. I wish I could rate them 10 stars!

By far one of the best driving school in Seattle. I have took a class here once when I was a beginner driver and they taught me how with such ease and patience that I was in shock of how easy driving really was, and at the end of the year it was all success because I got my permit out of it. If I’d have to rate this place myself I’d say it’s 10/10 for its services and kindness.

Passed my driving test today with the examiner named Moalim. Thank you sir you’re the best . He is very calm and comfortable driving with . He always let me know ahead when I turn right or left or changed the lane. Very good communication which I like so that way we can prefer . I sure to recommend this school to my friend.

I wanted to share my experience as an adult who went through the process of getting her license the unconventional way as this may resonate for some. The process was simple, I took my knowledge test for 20$ and upon passing received my permit online. I called to schedule my driving test, for 50$... but FAILED. I needed to get licensed quickly for an upcoming trip and although First Pass was extremely busy Moha made sure to call whenever someone was available. Extremely professional, understanding and polite. The second time for 30$ I passed! Thanks Moha!

Review №18

We had the classes online due to the pandemic and I thought itd be harder since classes werent in person but it actually turned out to be easy to follow along and listen. Moha (the instructor) was pretty nice and patient with my class. He wanted us to learn the best we could and constantly did everything to try and help for our tests.

Very rude customer service line. The man I spoke with raised his voice at me for no reason and kept talking over me. It wasnt like I was being rude to him before either. I was very kind and all I was asking about was setting up an appointment. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

Review №22

Worst driving school ever. I paid for both my tests and PASSED even though they probably didn’t want me to and then Moha up and leaves. I made my appointment with the dmv to take my picture and MOHA is no where to be found and this new guy can’t find my name anywhere in the system smh today I’m reporting them to the Washington DOL

I highly recommend this driving school. I did the knowledge test, a driving class and the driving test all in one morning, which was very convenient for me since I travelled far to get there. The staff were so helpful and flexible with their timings and they were very approachable and supportive. The pricing is very reasonable.

Well as an adult who never needed to get a license until their late 20s I can say that staff is super friendly and easy to work with. I didnt take classes, just the tests and can happily recommend to anyone who needs to take their tests still.

Moha is an amazing instructor and a very good examiner as well. He makes you feel so calm before and after the test and his instructions are super clear. For people living in downtown and North Seattle, dont waste your time and money with other schools, First Pass is definitely worth the hike.

Highly recommend this place for your skill test (esspically when you are not so experienced)! 1. cheap. first time $50 and the second time $30, almost the cheapest I can find around Seattle area 2. Test area doesn’t have too much traffic 3. The examiner is not super strict. I am always nervous during the test, but this test place and examiner didn’t worsen the situation

Awesome! Through out this great class you learn a lot while having a good time. Moha (The teacher) is really funny and good at teaching the rules of the road. Everything is very organized and well handled at this school. The 6 hours of driving with a teacher are very helpful because you learn a ton of stuff that is necessary on the roads. Additionally there are some fun activities, like getting to wear some Drunk Goggles and then trying to navigate through the class room. Every one was laughing and had a really good time. Overall the class is great and well worth it!

My experience at this school was actually better than previously expected. The instructors made sure I had the knowledge of safe driving before taking any of the tests needed to obtain my license. The instructors give great advice, plus they say things twice so you understand or miss out. This school is also low paying than the other schools out there. First Pass Driving School is a must go to place if you want to learn to be a safe and responsible driver!

This driving school is well known and recommended by many, Ive heard about this driving school from all my friends but Im glad that I came and got to experience this on my own. There were great instructors and great energy. you experience driving behind the wheel for 6 hours and classroom learning for 30 hours. I havent had any issues. I can truly say that this driving school is the BEST !!!!

I am an adult driver with a foreign driving license and with limited experience driving. My instructor Getahun was extremely professional and helpful, he gave me great advices that were easy to use. I passed the knowledge test with this school, and had two driving lessons with them. I also had a drivers exam with them and I passed after their lessons. I would recommend this school to any adult driver needing the real, honest, professional instructors. I tried with two other schools, but this one is by far the best.

Moha was a great instructor! The class is late at night, but you will not be able to fall asleep. Hes hilarious and everyone in the class makes you feel welcomed. There is no negativity because we are all there for one reason, to learn how to drive and learn the rules of the road! He is very easy to contact and will respond ASAP. Class may seem like a drag, but once you get there time goes by fast! It was a good five weeks!

This place is horrible , not only is the wait time ridiculous but the instructors are not up to date on the hand book guidelines. If youre going to this place for a drivers test as an adult I highly recommend the BEACON HILL DRIVING SCHOOL, they are amazing and very understanding. If you like wasting not only money but time then go here.

Review №57

I took the driving test here twice. The first time i reasonably failed the backing around a corner. The second time i was waiting at an intersection to go and was looking both ways multiple times and when i was looking to the left the tester told me to go and he sounded urgent so I went per his instruction and as i started to go a car was driving really fast down the street and the instructor started to freak out and be all oh my god thats so dangerous and made us go back to the school and failed me. I believe that this was intentional to cause me to fail again so that they could get even more money out of me. I will note that i was the only white person that i saw at that school both times i went to take the test. These instructors appear to be biased and will try and get you to fail. If not for that instructor telling me to go I would have passed the test. Both times they didnt even bother to write my score down on the paper. If i could give them zero stars i would

First Pass Driving School is an excellent place to learn how to drive. The instructors, along with the receptionist, are very patient and understanding. All of the instructors are nice, friendly and easy to work with. One of the instructors, Known as Moha, goes above and beyond to make sure that you, as a student, succeed. He is very honest and has excellent judgement. His instructions are very precise and down to the point. He is great. If you are planning to enroll here, I highly recommend that you do so immediately!!! This driving school is amazing. First Pass is the school for you. The course is excellent and the cars in use are great as well. First Pass= Success! I loved my experience there and others have loved their time there too.***When you go into the office, you immediately notice pictures and letters from previous students who loved their time at first pass driving school!

I had a really great time at First Pass. I went into this class thinking I already knew everything there was to learn, but soon realized there was so much more that I was missing out on. I learned how to check you vehicle and make sure its safe, hypothetical what if situations, how stick shift works, how to know your car and much more. Additionally, youll meet new friends within your age range and enjoy learning together. Moha will take care of you there and youll get nothing but positive experiences. First Pass is the place to go with the best price, best care for you, and best education.

Review №78

Best experience. Simple, straight forward, friendly, no-nonsense and economical.I had been researching lot of schools because I already drive for years and wanted to simply go and give tests. Most of high rating schools have appointment, central booking, $150+ for even basic test package. Then I read about Saturday walk-ins of First Pass and just walked in there. They gave me written test (20 USD) and walla, I was ready for skill test in an hour of walking in to this school. They accommodated my skill test and charged simple (50 USD). Again, no non-sense, they were open to use their car or my rental, no different fees. Get in, drive, do all the right thing and you can have your clearance in no time. Even after successful test, my inspector gave me few good tips on safe driving and few insights into what could be some of my Risky habits developed over the years. Excellent service.

Mohammed Hassan is awesome, hes funny, cares and wants the best for people. The positive feedbacks are all valid. Dont listen to the bad reviews.If you practice all the essentials prior to the skills/road testing, you will most likely pass. You must have motivation and passion to succeed. The instructor can only grade you. You have control of your results. Highly recommend this driving school. The best driving school ever.
