Our 30-hour classes are offered as full days, evenings, or weekends, in a modern dedicated classroom with guest speakers and driving experts. The individual workbooks and textbooks are provided, and the permit test can also be administered after completion of the class. For the 6-hour behind-the-wheel drives, our experienced instructors offer 1-on-1 instruction perfectly adapted to the needs of any student: parking lot and residential, Boulder and city driving, highway and mountain driving, and more depending on the student skill set. Our test drives are the best and fastest alternative to the DMV, with an instructor you already know and trust. You can even schedule your license test on a Saturday or Sunday.

Services
We believe in investing in our community, friends and neighbors. We believe that making more local purchases requires less transportation, causing less sprawl, congestion, and pollution. Stronger local businesses also means a better local prosperity and a stronger tax base, resulting in better public services like schools, transportation, and emergency response for all of us. For the past 21 years (19 with the St. Vrain Valley Driver Education program), Jennifer has been teaching people ages 14 to 90 how to drive!
My name is Jennifer Mallette, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to our new driving school! Many Longmont families already know me, as I have worked for the last 18 years with the Saint Vrain Valley Driver Education Program. I have worn many hats: French teacher at Silver Creek since it opened in 2001, driving class instructor, behind-the-wheel instructor, and State-certified drive tester.

My son has finished his 30 hours of instruction and permit test with the Longmont Driving School and we still get to do the drivers instruction portion. What I really appreciate about their program is how many reminders they provide the parents and students and how clear they are through every step about their process. As busy working parents juggling lots of different responsibilities the staff here really took the burden off of us to keep track of one more thing. It really made this process as easy as it could be.

Patrice and the Longmont Driving School have gone above and beyond to accomodate our family with our scheduling needs to get our young driver on the road safely and licensed. We received quality instruction at a very fair price. Their communication with us was extremely prompt and efficient and they were quick to alert us when they recognized potential complications with when we scheduled our instructional driving seesions and well as our drivers license test. I would highly recommend this orginization to assist you and your family with your permit and licensing needs.

Outstanding experience all the way through. My daughter turned 16 yesterday and the driving class and instructor time was all during Covid restrictions. I can't say enough great things about their adapting during challenges, the ease of scheduling, the student driver magnets for the car and providing all the confidence we needed that my daughter would be prepared and ready to get her license immediately. Thank you Longmont Driving School, and your amazing instructors. I refer all my friends here without hesitation and will continue to do so.

This review is about the actual instructed driving. Suzanne was great. She is so nice and helpful. She was constructive and actually took the time to give you feedback and teach you what you need. She is the best you could ever ask for in a driving instructor. Really a great instructor. Jennifer on the other hand, was not so kind. She was mean and very sharp.
All she did was degrade me. I was crying. In those two hours, I kept thinking that I don't even want my license anymore. She said I had "nothing going on up there, " meaning I am an airhead. She contradicted herself every other sentence. She was harsh. She made me never want to drive again. I hated every second. I just wanted to get through it and get out as soon as possible.
She implied that I should not get a license. She would tell me to slow down while she had her foot on the gas, and vice versa. She never told me how to actually fix anything, just that I can't do anything right. I will be finding somewhere to finish my driving and take the test because driving with Jennifer was one of the worst and most traumatizing experiences I've ever had. Call ahead, and if you are supposed to drive with Jennifer, leave.

Excellent personnel! My daughter really enjoyed everyone she worked with. They're great with confirmations/communications and even contacted us when there was a cancellation to offer the time to her (and she jumped at it!). Highly recommend! Very knowledgeable and just great people! Thank you for your help! :) (Even if we can't get in the DMV for a few more weeks, my daughter is glad to have this part completed.)

This has been the smoothest driving learning experience I have had with my kids. The school experts are extremely professional. They follow through all the questions specially within the "new normal" set-up that we all had to learn and felt anxious about. The process has been painless for me as a parent. All next steps are spelled out with detailed reminders! Hard for the student to miss a paper or homework. We are very lucky to have such a good school in town!

My son has his driving test today, his experience was fantastic. I appreciate the attention to detail by the instructor and her ability to help my son relax. She was brilliant and so professional. In addition, the cleanliness of the vehicle (sanitized between drivers), the hand-washing station and temp. check really helped us feel at ease. The other place he went to fell short of this process. The instructor over there was very kind and skilled, but we preferred LDS. Thank you Longmont Driving School!

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the help I got today from the two wonderful ladies at this place. I had trouble with my vehicle and and was given a ride to Walmart after the jump start the ladies helped me with failed so that I could fix my car. If that wasn’t enough they stayed late so that I could get my test completed just in time to make it back to the drivers license office. I’m a licensed driver now and will be able to keep my job that was in jeopardy thanks to these people, and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did to help me. Thank goodness for really good people in this world!!! I will definitely pay it forward because she wouldn’t let me give her extra money for her time, gas, and effort
