Amazing experience with this academy! They offered the skid car training I had wanted but I didn't even know if anyone in town was offering it. The classroom training, that's 2 hours. More instruction then competitors, plus the skid car, plus the driver's exam was $5 less than the competitors that offered not nearly as much. We had some special circumstances during the driving time which they accommodated and focused on my daughter having a positive experience. Absolutely wonderful to work with, flexible, caring and informative. And informative. I highly recommend and if I had a second child they would be going here too. Thanks Angie you guys are awesome!!!

The team was so responsive and amazing. The training was so in depth and educational. The multiple days of training made it easier to absorb all the information and remember it for my driving time. I had some special circumstances during my driving training and the team was so responsive and accommodating to that. Overall amazing experience with so much great learning. I highly recommend this program.

Truly grateful for Brian and Angie! I signed up my daughter, Tiara, for driving class, at first she didnt like the idea of going and would rather learn by herself and/or from us, but afterwards, she was very glad that she took the class. She told me that she learned a lot both in classroom and hands-on; Brian was an OUTSTANDING instructor and extremely patient with students. Safety is the primary focus throughout the class which I personally appreciated; they teach the class the correct and safe way to drive. I love Angie for her awesome customer service, very personable and professional. She's very flexible and really worked with us about scheduling. My daughter has been driving great, thanks to this Academy. She looks forward to the Skidcar class in October to help prepare her for whatever situations during winter driving. I highly recommend Alaska Safe Driver Academy to anyone who really wants to learn the correct way to drive taught by these exceptional, high quality and extremely knowledgeable professionals! Thank you so much!

The instructor Brian is a fantastic teacher who taught my older daughter to drive previously. We sought him out again so my younger daughter could receive his excellent instruction. She loved the class and it was definitely money well spent. She also took the Skidcar class and learned everything she needs to know to be safe on the snow and ice this winter. We highly recommend Alaska Safe Driver Academy.

If you want a well-rounded, detailed, professional education, this is the only place to go. Brian is the friendliest and most informative person you will probably ever see in this field. This program stands above all others because Brian goes above and beyond to make sure that you know everything there is to driving safely and has answers to everything. The Skidcar portion of this program is very unique and a great opportunity to experience, and Brian is the only one who offers this program. It gives you an insight that will change the way you think about how you control your vehicle in the summer and winter, and will keep you from make potentially life-threatening mistakes. Both the classroom and driving lessons taught me so much, even though I had been driving for well over a year and a half. He teaches what to do in emergency situations as well as thorough traffic laws and maneuvers and general handling and control of the vehicle. I strongly recommend this academy to anyone (teen or adult) who is seeking to improve their driving skills or take a lesson in the Skidcar. This class is also one of the most reasonably priced, offering more for a lower price. They definitely care about putting safe drivers on the roads and not just taking your money. I cannot stress enough how is program has made me a better driver and how it can help anyone to stay safe on the roads. Thank you Brian!!

I'm new to Alaska, and not used to the elements here. Even though I've been driving for years, I wasn't sure what to expect on the road. What I learned in one class has helped me immensely. I was taught what it would feel like to hit ice, how to retrain your wheels, and how to focus while doing it, along with many other helpful tips and guides. I can't speak highly enough of the instructor, he was patient, understanding and thorough, and had a fun attitude throughout the class. I highly recommend taking this class. I didn't just gain knowledge from it, I gained confidence on the road.

Mr. Knowlton is very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching new drivers. His skid car program is huge bonus for students. My son has been driving with me with his permit for nearly two years and I was skeptical that he would find the class interesting but for my own piece of mind, I sent him to through the program. He learned a lot and really enjoyed it. It's interesting to see the change in his driving technique. I'm far more comfortable with his driving skills now. Thanks!

The instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned that some of what I thought was good driving practices could actually end up with me getting a ticket. The skid car was fun and was a great hands on tool for learning how to correct loss of control. I would highly recommend Alaska Safe Driver Academy to drivers new and old.

Kacee Knowlton

It is extremely encouraging to walk into a business and see that the owners have a passion for what they are doing and presenting to their students. Brian is a very skilled and knowledgeable instructor, with a great amount of patience and know how to teach students the skills they need to be more mindful and alert drivers. The classroom is bright, cheerful and clean. I would recommend this school to anyone who wanted to be a safer driver.

Words can't describe how awesome the man in charge of this school really is. He has major respect and commitment for what he teacher's and passionately shows it off as he teaches in the class room and on the road. He's very serious about safety and explains the reasons behind the habits of safety. Not to mention his school is the only one in the ENTIRE state of Alaska that gives civilians the opportunity to train on a SKID car. He has told me about his journey to obtaining and bringing up this school, his past employment as an instructor for a different school, and all his hard work to have a space for SKID car training. He is very wonderful and his wife, who graciously works with him, is just as wonderful. The class is split into two four-hour days and then you have lessons. He works with all type of experiences and can get you a driver's test sooner than the DMV can (it does cost forty-nine dollars to take a driver's road test with them, but would you rather pay fifteen dollars for a waiting list?) They were able to give me a test two days after my last driver's lesson. Seriously, you have to choose this school. You won't regret it!

The instructor is very good at explaining things. Especially when he pulls out his Ipad to give you a visual, that was very helpful in explaining what to do. Great patience, and really good at teaching tips in measuring your distance from your car to objects like the curb. Brian knows his stuff really well. I think I had around 13-16 hours of driving experiance, and passed my drivers test at first try. This is a great school. I even learned new laws I never knew before. My road awareness level went up after training with Brian. Nice guy. 5/5 stars from me. Great school.

Brian is amazing. He taught everyone in my company and did an awesome job. I moved here from Florida and since taking Brian's class, I have not had any scary moments driving. I would definitely recommend his class to any Alaska newbies.

I took the instruction class a few years ago to get my permit and they helped a lot! I got my permit. They also helped me in area’s where I struggled more in. I came back a couple of days ago to get a refresher lesson on some things I wasn’t confident in for my drivers license test and he drove with me for a few hours and gave me tips that I can do to help myself and I passed the following Saturday for my license. They’re super nice and caring. I had a lot of anxiety for my test and they worked with me. They want you to succeed and be safe on the road. I will recommend them to anyone.

Anna Yakovleva

As an adult newish driver, I benefited a lot from both the in class course and the driving lessons! The instruction was wonderful with lots of examples, useful tidbits and lots of time behind the wheel. I learned a tremendous amount and would recommend the program to both adult and and young drivers!

Aaron Hostetter

I sent my 16-year-old boy to the classes and skid car. I’m extremely happy with their professionalism and competent instructors. My son got his license at the end of the class. He continues to be an example of good driving behavior without any close calls/collisions.

Paul Houston

Our daughter took driving lessons at alaska safe driving academy and found the instruction to be excellent. We will definitely be sending our son too. They take what they do very seriously. I like that.

sidnie ostetback

They helped me by teaching and it’s a great driving school. It was a great experience and I would recommend it because they don’t just help you get your license but also become a safe driver for not only yourself but others kn the road as well.

SKIDCAR Hands-on-Training, is like icing on the cake. This program teaches drivers how to handle their vehicle in differing weather conditions, braking properly, and controlling ones vehicle during a skid....all within a controlled, safe and protected setting. As a parent I feel my teens received the very best program, instructor and training, so they are prepared and more equipped to handle seasonal driving.

Kenai Dip

The coarse was informative and the driving portion was by far the best driving instruction I've ever received. My only complaint would be the road test is graded very harshly and things that were permitted during practice were not on the course, which I found very odd.

Kendra Little

Literally every instructor is nice and calm with you. Very informational but not boring. Just enough to know how to drive. Highly recommend.

Morgan Silverman

My instructor was very friendly and wonderful! He really helped me become more comfortable when driving, and I had a fun time learning as well.

Leland Jones

Hands down great experience! Brian, CJ, Angie, and all the guys that work there are complete professionals, and know their stuff. The owner, Brian, is extremely easy going, and knows what he is teaching. You will not get this great of a service anywhere else.

Annalee Fenton

I took the class and I am a teenager. I believe I learned some very valuable this class. The corse I took has possibly saved my life since I have been in a few skidds and this class gave me the right information for how to successfully get out of a skidd. Money well spent

Hye Hwang

I am really strongly recommending this place to all the new drivers who needs to learn how to drive. They're very professional and knows how to teach. I really appreciate their team. Thank you

Randy Beuter

We had a great experience with them. Very well run classes. Worth every penny and then some !! I cannot say enough good about them.

Schmee

Great experience with Brian😁! Would totally recommend, they actually care about their customers instead of being money driven like many of the other places. …
