Student Reviews:
Very easy to take. It was the third that checked out. The first two being confusing and not user fiendishly. This program was thorough and easy to take.

5 days agoFamily member was able to complete both 4 hr Drug/Alcohol course and Learner's Permit exam on his cell phone. This was a huge accessibility point since he did not have access to a computer at home. That and having the ability for videos was beneficial since reading for long periods of time can be ... Moredifficult for him.
Bonus: Mike from the office was able to update an error (that was done on my part) and provide valuable information on the process of submitting the info needed to the DMV. Thank you guys so much! You are appreciated for making this process seamless.
