No one looks forward to training classes of any kind, especially if they are to meet the demands…read moreappointed by a court or some other governing entity. I had an unfortunate series of events earlier this year. I found myself at 49 years of age (a month away to 50) being charged with reckless driving. Since it was my first offense, I was allowed a no-contest (nolo) and one of the provisions of my sentence was to take a Risk Reduction Class. My "offense" was in Florida, however I live in Georgia. This made it cumbersome to find a class that met both needs, especially with both states having different views on their return from COVID-19 guidelines, all provided online. Now, Florida would allow an online course, while Georgia required an in-person attendance. Luckily, Zoom participation was allowed to serve for in-person criteria. I called several training centers. They had either stopped teaching the course, or had closed their doors to a lack of business. I left a voice mail message for "! ! 0 1 Atlanta Area DUI and Driving School, LLC, and Eugene Nchinda promptly returned my call. He was both professional and personal. He made sure I felt confident that I could take his class soon and that it did meet the standards that I needed. We made an appointment to talk further after he encouraged me to look online for the dates that were of interest to me. Eugene was confident and caring. He made sure I was at ease and never asked me for details on my case or anything that had happened to me that brought me to his company. I can only imagine the stories he has heard from students, during his instructor trainings, and what I found out later from his personal experience. He had heart and demonstrated this in his teaching demeanor. Now, I have had 20+ years of experience being an American Heart Association Instructor for Community and Healthcare education. I have attended an instructor training class every 5 years, dozens of conferences, and trained thousands of people in my career, life-saving techniques. I pride myself on being a good student no matter what type of course it is, and I am especially critical of the teachers. I'm not afraid to offer constructive criticism in my after-course evaluations. Eugene had character and possessed class. He made me laugh on many occasions. He made sure each participant was included in discussions and was clear and concise with his delivery and management of time. Three days of training, back-to-back, is a lot to manage. Keeping us interested, engaged, enlightened and informed is a difficult feat. Eugene did this poignantly. I looked forward to our next sessions. He made us all feel human again, when a system had once made us monsters. He also was humble and open to learning from his students. That's a genuine trait of a great instructor-to be able to put ego aside and receive knowledge when it's their stage or show. I highly recommend Eugene Nchinda for your training needs. He's bright and a positive role model who's proud of his heritage from Cameroon, Africa. He would be a great presenter at conferences and as a representative of the curriculum and content he learns and masters. I pray-to all those who are reading this-that you never have to take this course or ever have to face a conviction of DUI (guilty or not). It knocks the wind out of you and depletes all joy and honor. I am a very strong, resilient survivor of a long-term, lifelong compromised immune system...my experience, as lucky as I was, almost broke me. I have witnessed how easy our hearts harden when faced with gloom and doom from a system that's designed to protect us all. I commend Eugene Nchinda in his commitment to providing necessary trainings that are mandated with a flair to engage each student, keep them focused, and remind us how easy it is to slip-up and a prayer that they never are charged with another DUI or reckless driving charge. In fact, his final words are "I hope that I never see you again, as a student of mine...that he hopes we meet again under different circumstances". That's a quality guy.

Very dissapointed in the instructor. Jessica C Wesley…read more She is an older woman who does not understand technology so she should not be teaching a virtual class. My wifi dropped for 2minutes and she could not figure out how to let me back into the room on my cell phone, causing me to miss time in the class. Although i immediatly called and took pictures of the time. She hyper focuses on one student and will pause class to go on tangents asking personal questions not in line with the course. She is just not a happy person and unfortunately takes her frustration out by weilding whatever power being an instructor allows. If you must use this school do not schedule if she is the instructor.

I…read moredidn't receive the link until Friday 1/9/26 explaining that a workbook was needed (physical or virtual). I requested a physical workbook due to my eyesight and was told to be at the Duluth office to pick it up on Monday by 4:00 (they are not open on weekends) on the day of the class (1/12/26). I left work early and arrived by 4:00 only to find they were closed. I was told the office manager left early and I had to view the workbook electronically. That was just the first red flag. I realized early in the class that the instructor did not seem to like me by his responses to my answers to some of his questions. I was trying to show that I was present and participating, but he was condescending and he belittled/berated me if he disagreed with my responses. By the last day, he questioned in class if the children that I work with even like me (the classes are recorded). This was personally not a positive experience for me. I would not recommend. Finally, the communication appears to be primarily via text messages, and the beginning of the thread seems to be automated (at least over the weekend) since I asked questions that were never answered and the responses were generic. It asked if wanted to participate in another program, but when I asked what it was, I didn't receive an answer. If you text them with issues during the week, an actual person will respond, it just takes a while.

She was very thorough and provided us with helpful feedback that we used to continue working with our daughter so that she could get the needed practice.

Thanks, Audrey, for assisting my family!

I explained my problem to her and before I could finish a sentence, she would interrupt me and talk over me.

Parents please think twice and read their reviews before you sign your teen with this company. I'm sorry I didn't do my research before I signed up. Even the BBB gave them "F" rating. If she is the representative for this company, then I could not take the chance with their instructors.

Nathans never asked who was attending and at least 10 families have indicated they had every intention of attending the course. Scheduling, and communication related to that, has been a disaster.

At the end of the class, she could never pass the test and had to retake. There were not enough driving instructors to ever schedule them in person.
