Took a class here before taking my drivers test. I definitely would not have passed if it wasn't for their class. Since then I have been accident and speeding ticket free! The things I learned in the class have saved me multiple times from getting into accidents. Totally recommend taking their 16 hour class for anyone about to take their drivers test! read more

Absolutely the best instructor in and out of the classroom, Made myself and my son comfortable with being able to ask as many questions as we had, didn't feel rushed and Angie in the office goes above and beyond to provide amazing customer service. read more

I think of myself as a smart shopper. I try to check on all avenues before purchasing any large priced product. Calling the driving schools listed in the yellow pages, yelp, DMVs' driving schools in Anchorage, Each driving school no matter witch one you choose has nothing but bad or horrible things to say about their competition putting themselves in the best light possible. After reviewing all the schools I selected Alaska Safe Driver Academy owned and operated by Brian Knowlton and his wife Angela Knowlton, Which told me of the horror you can expect from other schools in Anchorage. and how STUPID their teaching and methods are which can put you in such DANGER. After all their teaching methods my daughter went through she couldn't parallel park or pass the road test. Brian told us if we wanted we could pay for more time. My husband and I have driven with our daughter for two years, she drives our Ford 350 crew cab and sometimes with a trailer with snowmobiles NO problems, even backing the trailer. She wouldn't take the test again from them so liking a challenge she asked me if she could take the driving test through the DMV and passed missing only four points for signaling less than fifty feet from her right turn. I went back to Brian and asked to see his certificates of his teaching background, A copy only of his AAA training which only took five days, NO certificates for his CDL training, and just a few days to train in his so called skid car and on the job training, The only thing we gained from this experience is reducing our insurance. I can't find any school that does as advertised, my daughter and her friends at school have nothing but bad or worse experiences through other driving schools GOOD LUCK. read more

If you want a well-rounded, detailed, professional education, this is the only place to go. Brian is the friendliest and most informative person you will probably ever see in this field. This program stands above all others because Brian goes above and beyond to make sure that you know everything there is to driving safely and has answers to everything. The Skidcar portion of this program is very unique and a great opportunity to experience, and Brian is the only one who offers this program. It gives you an insight that will change the way you think about how you control your vehicle in the summer and winter, and will keep you from make potentially life-threatening mistakes. Both the classroom and driving lessons taught me so much, even though I had been driving for well over a year and a half. He teaches what to do in emergency situations as well as thorough traffic laws and maneuvers and general handling and control of the vehicle. I strongly recommend this academy to anyone (teen or adult) who is seeking to improve their driving skills or take a lesson in the Skidcar. This class is also one of the most reasonably priced, offering more for a lower price. They definitely care about putting safe drivers on the roads and not just taking your money. I cannot stress enough how is program has made me a better driver and how it can help anyone to stay safe on the roads. Thank you Brian!! read more
