Jungle Survival Drivers Training

"The teacher of my sons session spent more time talking about being single and conspiracy theories that how to drive. I ended up teaching my son the basics."

"I'm going to make this short and not so sweet. If you want to pay this company a large sum of money so YOU can teach your child to drive by all means sign up. If on the other hand, you want to pay to have a TEACHER - with the use of a proper drivers training car teach your child, go elsewhere."

"The interior of the building has a nice atmosphere, and I quite like the wrap on their cars. Aside from that, it's just an ordinary driving school. Nothing special. (3 Stars) Update: I've come to appreciate their teachings a lot more since I got a delivery job that often takes me to the east side of the state. It's a different world over there. Truly a jungle."

"My student went through segment 1, which was a 3-week course. My student said the instructors were nice, but also had several complaints. As a parent, I observed some issues. This company had several logistical problems and is not outfitted to run at this capacity. I will go into detail about 4 items that come to mind. 1. They do not provide the book/worksheets required for the class. You have to go on their website and print a 42-page packet. This was exasperated because it was not specified ahead of time and my student came home after the first class and told me that we had to print this book before class the next day. 2. Drive times… There is a lot wrong here. They cannot support the number of students that they take on. The students are required to perform 6 drives and 4 observations with an instructor during the 3 weeks. Parents were told in the orientation, before the class even began, that there are not enough drive times available for everyone so you need to sign up right away at the beginning of each week, because the slots will fill up and not everyone will be able to drive and observe. I was baffled at this statement. And this indeed happened. During the last week of class there were no drive times available. My student had to finish the drives after the class ended when spots became available. The first week after the class was over, the only available times were 1pm-2pm. This was ridiculous. My student is in school and absolutely will not be skipping school to drive. They do not have the resources to support the number of students they take on. Every student should be able to perform the required drives. Instead, parents must race to claim drive time slots, and some people lose and don’t get any. On that note, they were asking parents if anyone wanted to be an instructor during the orientation. Then, during week 3, they went around to every student in the class and asked if they knew anyone who would be interested in being an instructor on 3 different days. My student thought it was bizarre. 3. Even thought the students must fill out worksheets and take written exams in class, they do not have desks. They just sit in little chairs and must use their lap as a desk. It is uncomfortable and doesn’t make any sense. My student was asking me if they could bring a small table to class so they would have something to write on. 4. They do not teach the state curriculum. They teach “the jungle way” which is safer. More head checks, longer following distances, different procedures, that kind of thing. There is a lot of “the state says to do this, but do it our way instead.” One issue is that what they are learning does not match the state exam, and my student said that made it confusing and harder when taking the state exam. Final thoughts: I had another student go through a different driving school and none of this nonsense took place. The workbook was provided. They sat at desks. And the required drive times were available to all the students. No problems. My personal recommendation is to go somewhere else if you can. If you can’t, it’s only 3 weeks (plus additional drives afterward if you don’t sign up fast enough) so you will survive."

"I went here as a student. They have cool cars and room. But they had no desks, kindergarten chairs, you have to print your own book, and they exaggerate the rules extremely which makes the state test difficult. The instructors are awesome. Except this one lady that never said anything during the drive except when I almost crashed. They are over booked too so ~25% can’t even get all thair drives or observes in. This was so bad a bad time would not recommend this place to anyone."
