Very unprofessional! She called me way passed normal business hours. I was unable to answer, but When I received the voicemail she told me to be ready to be picked up the next day. However, later that night my mom received a call and was told that we were too far away and could not be picked up. We had already given them our address a month ago so they knew where we were located. There was no apology or attempts find a solution. Very disappointed in the customer service. Would not recommend to anyone.

I wouldn't recommend this place at all! When I enrolled my son they said they would drive to Cambridge for his behind the wheel! A month later that all changed and I'm stuck driving him to to Bethal for his behind the wheel! Not too mention the horrible communication, when it wasn't even snowing and they would cancel because of a "blizzard" but I still drove a half hour down! Because careful with them!

Classroom portion is over 50 dollars more expensive then others in the area. The package (classroom and behind the wheel) is over 150 more then other schools. Only reason we used this place was because it was close to home. If you want your kid to watch movies all night for two weeks and don't care if they learn anything send your kids here. If you actually want them to get something for your money, you may want to look elsewhere. Buyers remorse.

Charged a lot for basically watching movies on scare tatics all day. I never learned anything in the class except one teachee saying how selfish suicide is which really angered me having depression and suicidal ideation in the past, and I was not the only one in the class thinking so. The only real learning was the behind the wheels, with a different teacher. I know how to parallel park now, but don't know a lot of the 'theory' and classroom skills because we only ever watched movies about texting and driving.

Great drivers-Ed! I took this about a year ago, and I learned a lot. One really good tip to acing your permit test first time, is taking all the MN permit practice tests And another really good tip for passing your road test the first time, is taking it at the Arden Hills DMV, then watch all the (19 some) videos that an ex-driving instructor who worked at Arden Hills made and posted to YouTube. Search "Arden Hills road test" it should be the first couple videos.
