Overall we’ve had a positive experience with Official. We love the flexibility of having online classes. You need to stay on top of getting drives scheduled for your children, but I don’t know if that’s different for other companies. As long as you stay regularly check for availability, you should be able to get the drives scheduled. Michael Woodbeck and John Robbins were both great in-car instructors for our eager-to-please daughter who thrives more on constructive criticism rather than harshness. This is the third time we’ve used Official, and we plan to use them for our fourth child as well.
Mike, our son’s driving coach, was hands down the best part of this entire experience. Our impression of ODS was overall mediocre BUT having Mike as a driving coach made our son’s experience awesome. Not only was he a great driving coach, it was super fun to see him around at his track meets cheering for him there, same as he did for him on the road! If you use ODS for drivers training, book your drives with Mike! You won’t regret it!
Huge thank you to Mr.Billings for giving me some training on refreshing to get my license.I passed my test today and I was super proud of myself. Mr. Billings is very kind and patient and with his help I did great!
