He did end up getting a perfect score for his permit exam, so he learned something. The staff here is great. They let us switch from the 6:30pm class to the 4:30pm class after my son saw some kids he knew from hockey. My son said the teaching went really fast, which freaked him out, but as I stated he did well. I guess the other students often were on their phones and not paying attention. Based on the format of the classes, I appreciate that the instructors brought in guest speakers to talk about things like drunk driving. The instructors were also really good about sharing real-life tragic accidents and resulting deaths. My son said it was a little much, but they made their points. We didn't take the optional practical driving lessons, so can't comment on that.

Charles was probably the worst, making several comments insinuating that women are not good drivers. I was also questioned every time why I had waited so long to do a behind-the-wheel after I took the class, as if this was a bad thing for some reason. One behind-the-wheel instructor cut my session short because I was wearing perfume and it gave her a "headache" and then she tried to make me do another behind-the-wheel, which I would have had to pay for of course. Also, when I tried to have them send my grade from the class, and only the class (not the behind-the-wheel portion), they refused to do so and were extremely rude about it, which was extremely frustrating because I had received a better grade in the class portion than in the behind-the-wheel. My school (Dundee-Crown) only required the grade from the class portion and ended up having to go talk to my counselor to explain everything and get the grade changed, which technically she wasn't really allowed to do. Maybe for some students the difference between an A and a B doesn't really matter, but for me it did because I was at the very top of my class. If you are looking for a decent drivers education course, I honestly suggest just taking the class through your school, which is much cheaper and at many schools it means that you don't have to take a driving test at the DMV.

The company made it clear to send an email and make a call about any scheduling conflicts…read moreconcerning behind-the-wheels. What they didn't specify was what to say in the phone call. And so in the message (because all of their calls goes straight to taking messages) I mentioned everything TCDS said to put in the email. The phone message was long since they request for a lot of information for cancellations. The response I recieved rudely said "I couldn't last listening to your message that was, like, 10 minutes long. Just put that information in an email". End of message. Prior to making the call, I had already sent them an email with all that information and so her rude demand was unnecessary. And the exaggeration of the length of the message (that was really only 2-4 minutes long with the information they themselves request for) was uncalled for. In addition, I was scheduled for a behind-the-wheel between 5:00 and 5:30. Starting at 5:00, my dad and I literally stared out the house windows nonstop, waiting for the BTW instructor to arrive. Ten minutes after the time window, we tried calling TCDS but it literally only goes to taking messages so there was no one to ask about this tardiness. After every three minutes that passed by after that, I continued to check to see if anyone arrived. No one came by at all and by 7:00, it was time to accept that TCDS cannot manage themselves well enough to even notify a student that they simply could not hold up their end of this prescheduled BTW session.

One of the driving instructors is rude to the kids that are obviously just learning to drive. Making idiotic rude remarks isn't going to help them. Perhaps he should find himself a new career since dealing with teens isn't his strong suit. It takes them an eternity to answer emails and voicemails then they lie and say you never left one. They sure do take your money quick though. If you have a different choice of driving school, go with them and don't waste your time with these rude and inconsiderate people.

In the classroom portion of the class, the instructor was eating during class on a regular basis, and one time brought her puppy and put him in a separate room, where it was apparently not happy, and it proceeded to disturb the class the whole time. When it was time to take the written test, they offered the students "extra credit" points if their parents left a 5 star review for City Express. Hence the claim that they are buying the great reviews. After getting the permit, the school does not want to start the behind the wheel portion of the training until the child had 25hrs of driving experience with their parents. Which effectively means that I was teaching her how to drive, and the school was teaching her how to pass the test. They did nothing at all to teach them how to parallel park, but made sure they know how to park on a hill(which, in the age of automatic transmissions, is useless). So in summary I feel like I paid City Xpress almost $500 to buy my child a drivers license, that I had to train her for. I would not recommend this school.
