Reviews of A-1 Driving School
Gajanan Aiyer
Only good things to share about A1 Driving. I felt safe leaving my child with them - and I think as a parent that’s the first and most important consideration. Then, their learning methods are thorough, encouraging, and comprehensive. They focus not only on the on-road situations during the class, but also on other scenarios that can present. Parking is a nightmare for many and is a skill that is not very developed for half the drivers even in their adulthood … admit it! A1 Driving focuses on parking skills in every class - and that’s a big plus in my book. After class, they share detailed notes to go over the content covered in the class, and summarize readiness for road test and general driving competence. Outstanding all around. Highly recommended!!

I booked a lesson with Mr.Kevin Clark and he taught me a lot and was really patience and funny to learn with. He helped me correct my parallel parking, reverse backing and turning skills. I highly recommend booking with him if you want someone to teach you and strengthen your skills. Thank you Mr.Clark ✨ Can’t wait to do another lesson.

I took a Defensive Driving Class on 08/27/2022 which is a sat. The instructor was keeping us interested as well as providing the information we needed to pass the class. It was my first virtual class experience in a longtime and selecting A-1 driving school for taking care of business was a plus!
Jeri Yoder
Awesome experience! Just received my certificate today! The instructor was relatable and entertaining, and gave you hints about what was going to be in the test. Highly recommend!!!
Carl Angry
A-1 Risk Reduction Jonesboro Georgia instructor Reuben was awesome. Everything was broken down and there was interaction in the class for you to understand.
Mamie Gartin
I just received my certificate of completion from A-1… they made the whole process seamless and easy! From signing up and paying to offering a completely virtual class. I would def recommend A-1 to everyone needing any kind of driving class be it risk reduction or defensive driving!
corrina peacock
Did this class to get points of my license. Was sure i was going to be bored but my Instructor Mr. Berry actually made the class fun and actually enjoyable. He was super funny and made the 6 hours go by fast!
Tanika Jenkins
Great program!! I did it for insurance reduction and Mr. Al was a great instructor he made the class enjoyable.
Anna Nelson
I took the defensive driving class online on Saturday and the instructor was funny but made sure we got the information we needed. It made me pay attention and retain a lot from this class! I will say that depending on your instructor and other classmates, your class could be totally different. I love that I got to take this online.
Andrew MacElroy
Took the A1 Defensive Driving course virtually on a Saturday. Instructor was funny and engaging. There were a variety of people there for different reasons and he made it a comfortable space. There were some issues that came up during the class but I feel that in a normal (in-person) classroom setting these would not have been a problem. Overall I would recommend this course.
In regards to some of the negative comments below, I think it might depend on the instructor you have and also how respectful the class is. The website did also make it clear that this would be a virtual meeting.
Baby Huey
My instructor was really a good teacher with a lot of knowledge to offer to a younger adult like me. Very informative and well needed
Russell Smith
Great place, and instructor. He kept everyone focus and laughing. I would recommend them to others.
Sean Schoenherr
The process was swift and the instructor Mr. Johnson was as humorous and light as possible for my defensive driving course.
Reagan Rodriguez
I could not have asked for a better driving instructor than Verline Mister. She was so wonderful in so many ways. I was very anxious to start driving, but she was very understanding, and I became much more comfortable driving while listening to music and talking while driving. And when it came to parking (which was very difficult for me) she had a specific way of learning to help me remember the steps needed to park correctly. And it was not like learning it for the sake of the test and then forgetting it afterward. Her techniques are ingrained in how I drive, and it has taught me how to be a better driver. I highly recommend signing up for her lessons because I passed my test, and it’s all thanks to her.
Lucas Turner
This is an updated review.
The COO of the company reached out to me and helped me facilitate all of my communication. He really went above and beyond to help me get into my scheduled course and to ensure that all lines of communication were open. I completed my course with no incident and was able to get the certificate I needed. He even followed up with me to get my feedback after the course. He did not pressure me in any way to update or change my review and told me he would like for his company to "earn a new review". I appreciate this.
The course itself was a breeze. It was very easy to understand and the instructor was not boring or dull. He encouraged class participation even over a Zoom call and answered any questions, even if they interrupted a point he was making.
I'm hoping the COO can fix the initial contact issue they're having and as long as he can, I think they will have many more 4-5 star reviews in their future.
maleek montgomery
The course was great! I had to take it for court and everything worked out well. The instructor was great and very informative. Though it was a long 6 hours, he made sure we were not completely miserable.
Yvonne Smith
I reluctantly took the Defensive Driving class in order to lower the points on my license. I was dreading being cooped up in the house all day to take this "boring class" especially since it was online. However to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Who knew!
The instructor Ms. Turner made the class fun as well as very informative. She is a wealth of knowledge. I would recommend A-1 in a heartbeat not only if you are required to take the class, but as a general refresher course and to stay on top of new laws. The laws change all the time and the public is not always made aware of them.
**Note that I registered at the location in Decatur on Memorial Drive.
Aubreyona Brown
I really have enjoyed my experience with A-1 Driving School. They have made the entire process easy from start to finish. It is well worth it and the teachers are great. They definitely help you to get comfortable on the road. I would definitely recommend!!! from the driving lessons to defensive driving to taking the actual road test (both of which they pick you up and drop you off).
Sabeyah
I took a class on Saturday and it was really good the instructor was really nice and helpful and give us many breaks and even tho it was 6 hours it seemed faster.
Steve Cainas
Good Class. Easy to book online. I signed up for Defense Driving 6 hour class simply to reduce my insurance cost +$150 per year for the next several years. The instructor Albert Turner had a great sense of humor and good life stories that honestly did not make the class boring. He was very knowledgeable. They are licensed and accredited by the State of Georgia. Recommended.
Stephen Chappell
There are times when you have to do things you don’t want to, such as defensive driving school. But when you do, A1 driving school is the place to do it. I registered for a class and there was some issue in so doing. Now, many companies would simply blame the website, maybe transfer you to tech support…. But, when I called, I got hold of Della. And thank heavens I did. She listened to my issue, owned it and helped me solve the problem. I was able to complete my course the same week. I know a lot of these governmental contractors can be frustrating, but A1 driving school is one you can count on. If you live in Georgia and you need a defensive driving course, these are the folks you NEED to call. And if you do, call Della at the Kennesaw location, she’ll get you set up right. Good luck, y’all!
Jeffery Pratt
I really enjoyed the defensive driving course. The instructor Patricia Tarver was very helpful and I couldn't be happier with the services they provided. My license was reinstated the day after I completed the course. And everything went smoother than I expected. I would definitely recommend using to anyone.
Jay Makhija
Phenomenal course. The instructor Albert Turner was not only extremely knowledgeable but had a wonderful sense of humor. He taught me things that I definitely was not aware of. Not only that but he was a military guy, had lots of cool stories and life experience. I took the six hour course in one day for points reduction and it was worth every penny. I plan on bringing my family back. Great school, can't go wrong with this place. I highly recommend it.
Elisha Castillo
When i first saw the class was for 6 hours i literally wanted to pull my hair out. Once the class started I realized it would fly by! The instructor was amazing and super funny. He made the material interesting and fun. The lessons we were taught was very useful and informative. I 100% recommend this driving school.
Antonio Lane
To start I hate I even had to take the class so keep in mind it's not their fault why some of us are there. To begin I wasn't happy with the price of the class but in all fairness it was that consistent across the board. I surprisingly got a reminder call the day before my class instructing me to arrive early for check in. Upon arrival the receptionist I first thought her tone was rather direct and borderline unprofessional but later realized she was consistently this way with everyone and honestly meant no harm. As far as the instructor Ron, what can I say he was fantastic. He kept everyone engage and I actually cared to pay attention to him outside of not wanting to really be there on a Sunday ..football Sunday at that. All around this class was great, very informative, and educational on levels I didn't expect. I definitely don't plan on coming back and will obey traffic laws but for what it's worth I highly recommend!!!
Tristan Sherman
I had signed up for the Defensive Driving course, and through every step of the process (signing into the virtual class, signing paperwork, taking the final exam, and receiving documentation) I’ve had to constantly reach out to the main office through emails and phone calls to follow what should be an automated response process. However, at the end of the day the manager went above and beyond to try and recover the mistakes, and the instructor of the course is a funny guy and a great teacher….
If they didn’t have issues with the automated response it would easily be a 5 star review
Edited afterwards to reflect change in experience
John Whittle
I enjoyed the class. The instructor Brady Johnson had to come in as a replacement instructor last minute and did a great job. This course is the perfect way to reduce points on your license or get a premium discount on your auto insurance or in some cases both. There are always plenty of class days and times to choose from to fit your schedule and the staff are very accommodating.
Marie Parrish
I had to take the 20 hour driving course and the teacher I had Mrs. White was great! Very sweet and knowledgeable lady with a lot of great stories who made the time go by surprisingly fast. From the minute I came in to do my assessment at the Sandy Springs location to the end of the three day class at the Atlanta location everyone I encountered was curteous, organized, and professional.
Thank you for making it as painless as possible and quite informative and enjoyable.
Cliff Williams
Darryl was an excellent instructor - very understanding, knowledgeable, informative, and dedicated to safety. I learned much more than I thought knew by taking A-1 Driving School's Defensive Driving Course. A big plus was being able to do the virtual class that fit into my schedule perfectly. I highly recommend this course and school.
Felicia Peoples
I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with A-1 Driving School. I took a defensive driving class there to get a reduced insurance rate and expected to be bored out of mind. Instead, I learned an incredible amount of information about driving laws in Georgia as well as strategies and techniques to use to improve as a driver. The instructors were fantastic! Both were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and easy to follow. The class was completely interactive so I was completely engaged for the 6 hours that I had to be there. I also thought it was a nice and unexpected touch that lunch at the great steak and cheese shop next door was included in the cost of the class! I would recommend this school to anyone and intend to register both my sons (who already have their driver's licenses) to take it.
My World
I was dreading going to school for 6 hours for my tiny speeding ticket, but A-1 made it enjoyable and I ended up learning some things that I had forgotten or was not aware of. My instructor, JoAnn was very knowledgeable and informative. She made the class enjoyable and go by quickly. I got 100% on my test! I would definitely recommend this class to others who need to take it.
Lashonda Ricks
I took the virtual class over the weekend and I must say I actually enjoyed it. My instructor Mr.Berry made it very fun and not boring. We were given 10 mins breaks throughout the course with a 60 min lunch break which I thought was good.
Melynnda Irmak
A-1 Driving school was close and convenient for me. The personnel is very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the teacher, and the class as a whole. There were plenty of breaks, I was happy that they provided lunch(it would be nice if they could include a drink), and the class, itself, was interesting. The only thing I wish they would include in the class is EVOC training. I think it would benefit many people to learn how to control their vehicle on a skid track, first hand.
Cassandra Panayiotou
I was new to Atlanta from the UK and needed to take the road test to obtain a Georgia driving licence. I took 4 hours lessons with Felicia and Christopher who were both great teachers and I passed with flying colours! I look forward to my defensive driving course too. Ash was very professional, helpful and responsive. Highly recommend.
Raj Anand
The class was really informative and fun. My intent in taking the course was to get a discount on my insurance. The instructor, Mr. Deandre Berry, is really great guy. While keeping the class very entertaining, he manages to cover all important topics. I recommend this place to anyone looking to take a Defensive Driving Course.
Dru James
This the best class hands down. I looked around online to find cheaper options for my 6 hour defensive driving course. Went on limb and chose A-1. Best choice I've ever made. I'd specifically recommend the Atlanta location off of Cheshire Bridge Road. Not to mention, the instructor Keith is literally the best hands down. Overall 5 star experience.
Rebecca Thompson
I might have been the very few who went for an Insurance discount. I showed up 5 mins before class and the only seat left was up front, about 5 feet from the teacher. I preferred it as I geek out over things like this. The teacher was incredibly easy to learn from. She obviously knew what she was doing and it was easy to interact and ask questions. Yeah, the videos are a little dated but it gets the point across. You take a quick test at the end of the day and you get your results back before you leave. The process of getting your certificate was quick. I'd take the class again and recommend it to anyone who wants to feel safer on the road.
Dain Donovan
Awesome experience! They made everything easy for court compliance. Mr. Williams is an engaging and thoughtful instructor. Got my certificate e-nailed later the same day of completion. Keep up the good work!
Pete Stamm
I attended the Saturday course a couple of weeks ago. I went in as most do, thinking it would be a waste of a Saturday, but I was surprised. The instructor - Darryl Oliver, was excellent. He kept it interesting and kept everyone engaged so that the time went by quickly. I am like most drivers in thinking that I already am the best driver on the road and know everything I need to know. I was wrong. I learned a lot and given that the cars we drive are weapons capable of ending a life - I am grateful for the reset in my thinking. I'm sure it added to the probability I will live longer than had I not gone. Especially the time spent on aggressive driving and road rage. When you think about it, we have drivers ed once in our lives. There should be a refresher class requirement for all drivers every 10 years.
Christopher K.
My instructor was Karen and she's FANTASTIC! She has real life stories that applies to the content of the class, which helps you in remembering the material that's discussed in class. The best thing is that she's very entertaining, so with her, time just FLEW and before I knew it, class was over! I learned a quite a bit in the class that I didn't know and some of the things that I learned was because the laws was recently changed and of course they don't update you to the new laws, but Karen knew and that was a plus. The facility itself isn't that fabulous, so don't expect much out of this location, 😂... but the staff is exceedingly friendly!
Janelle Roberson
My instructor provided more then i could have asked for. He answered every question i had and was super professional. The class was very informative and i'm glad i chose them as the team to help me through this process. Thank you again Mr. Berry and the staff at A-1.
Brass Bandicoot
Instructor was imformative about most everything he spoke of which often went off topic but was occasionally funny. I don't know if the class legally has to be that long but the necessary information could be compressed into 3 hours easily. He did however tell our class that if they get into a skid not to turn into it. Thats only gonna work for people with Electronic Stability Control which is only required after 2010. I'm sure plenty of people there myself included do not have a vehicle that new.
Derrick Williams-Smith
Recently attending Defensive Driving with Mrs. T as my instructor and I must say she was a very thorough instructor who also gave real life examples that help us understand the seriousness to driving defensively. Also, he made a class that is typically boring and made it interesting to the point the entire class was able to participate and enjoy front beginning to end. I'm glad I was able to take this class and receive the knowledge as well.
Marcus Weger
A1 driving school is a great place for you to send your teenagers or your self as an adult too, to get your license and to learn how to drive safely on the road and understand what to do, they require 6 hours for your to take the test if over 18, and more if you’re under 18, but they also benefit you overall in other ways, also tho it can be quite costly it’s very beneficial to you as a customer.
Less stress on the parents or guardians,
No worries about long waits for the dmv
Great opportunities!
Fuerte Jesus
A-1 is the best defense driving school there is they make everything so easy they make sure you have fun during the class it a awesome class to be in instructor is really know how to teach the test is super easy
Heather Garrett
Considering the circumstances, I could not have asked for more. Maggie in the front office is patient and informative. A major asset. I had Lulu as an instructor. She made everyone feel welcomed and was very intelligent with a spark. My other course was met with great stories and thought provoking conversation. The addition of the sandwiches next door was a nice touch considering all that can be weighing on your mind. I could not have asked for more and, although it is easy to judge a book by its cover, it is a well orchestrated and warm environment for whatever reason (big or small) you may be there.
Andrew Currie
Took the defensive driving course (6 hours), and was expecting it to be a pretty boring class with an uninterested instructor. Instead, it turned out to be relatively informative and the instructor (Katie) really made it a lot better than it could have been. Overall a good experience. Only problem I could find was that the actual office was a bit dated and cramped, but nothing unbearable.
Jeff Shumate
Although most of us were required to take this class, our instructor Mr. Albert Turner made it into an informative, engaging and rewarding experience. This Defensive Driving Course will have a lasting impact on my driving and help me stay safe and avoid any future tickets.
Nicole Little
My son had a great experience. The instructor was patient and very helpful. I feel better that he took the course and that Shannon Johnson was a phenomenal instructor.
Ryan Baltes
D'Andre Berry is the best instructor I have ever had out of any teach I have had in elementary, middle, or high school and even undergrad or graduate school. The man has a special gift and truly does make a difference. Ask for D'Andres class if scheduling.
Mallory Holley
Great Class! Lots of good info shared in a different light and perspective. Instructor was humorous, and easy to talk to. Highly recommend A-1 Driving school if you need to get your certificate.
Tim McOwen
Extremely Impressive and very informative class for a defensive driving course. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and made the course very interesting and I enjoyed it thouroughly. I recommend A-1 Driving School as being the best of the best in the Metro Atlanta and North Georgia Area.
Eduardo Lam
Nobody wants to take this course or be put in the situation of having to take this course. However, our instructor Jill was hilarious and personable. She gave perfect examples and was very knowledgeable that helped each of us understand the subject matter. Furthermore, her stories helped pass the time faster.
Daisja Brown
The class was actually fun. I enjoyed the Poole I was there with and the instructor Joann was awesome. She made it go by fast by making it not so boring and actually teaching us about the class. The area isn't so bad so don't listen to anyone else review
Ashley Burke
I had Mr. Berry as my instructor and he was AWESOME! He was enthusiastic, entertaining and really knew his facts. He made an effort to engage with every member of the class and created a fun and easy going environment while still effectively educating everyone on GA driving laws. When we got there they offered coffee and danishes and gave 10 minute breaks every so often as well as an hour lunch break. There is a variety of food options surrounding the area so it was easy to step out and actually enjoy your meal and still make it back on time. The material we learned was extremely informative - It made me realize how many driving rules I was unaware of or had changed over the years. He even knew the typical fine for almost every traffic/driving violation. I thought I would have nothing to learn from this class but now I find myself telling people random facts and tips on defensive driving. If you have or want to take a defensive driving class come to A-1 driving!! Great experience all around.
Jolen Tabor
This school was informative. My instructor was efficient and created an interactive environment which helped the time go by. This 1 day class included up to date information on driving laws in GA. I give A-1 Driving School an A+
Ronnie Phillips
I was dreading going to the class, but must say it was quite enjoyable. The instructor made the class very enjoyable and I walked away learning/relearning some things. Definitely take this course with A-1 if you have a chance.
Courtney Maldonado
I dreaded the day... but to my surprise the day went by quickly! The front desk staff was upbeat and the instructor, Katie, was just delightful, informative, realistic, and helpful. A-1 driving school was very conveniently located.. they even paid for my Philly cheese steak from the café next door. Well worth the investment.
Devany Brown
Despite being required to attend the class, the instructor (Millicent Scott) made the class very informative and enjoyable. I learned tons of good information regard risk reduction and how the choices we make impact the outcomes, good or bad, in our lives. The location is extremely convenient if you live in the Midtown/Buckhead/Morningside area. We were given 10-minute breaks every 75-90 minutes which helped to break up the class. I must say I was NOT looking forward to taking this class but I'm glad I did and I wish I would've learned this information earlier in my life! This class is also good for parents wanting to encourage their children to make better choices and stay safe.
Judy Moran
Surprisingly, not nearly as bad as expected. Our instructor Joel did a good job covering the material and keeping it somewhat entertaining. Sending the rest of my family to class in order to reduce our insurance costs.
Ron Kirby
Shacara Thomas held a great Risk Reduction class that I participated in. A true master at her craft and skilled educator. The staff onsite was also super helpful and informative, she knew the answers to questions and provided advice and extra help to get my classes and tasks competed.
Jacqueline Schaeffer
I was absolutely dreading having to take a defensive driving class for my texting while driving ticket. I mean who wants to spend 6 hours in school on Saturday. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised that I found it to be quite beneficial. The school is in a good location and the staff was very friendly. Katie was an awesome instructor and I would definitely recommend anyone having to take defensive driving to take it at A-1 Driving School.
A. Barnes
I was expecting a grueling experience, and ended up learning a lot of useful, insightful information at A-1 Driving School on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta. Lulu White is a phenomenal instructor, and Anne was always a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend A-1 Driving school for any driving-related courses.
Richard Bryant
Awesome class. Very informative and knowledgeable about driving and safety. I'd recommend this driving school to anyone who's looking to improve their driving skills and overall knowledge of good driving. Thanks again A-1
Violetta Reyes
The instructor is easy going, I enjoyed learning the driving laws of Georgia. I am here for business, this class opened my eyes to laws that aren’t the same in my home state. The test was not difficult at all, it was a splendid surprise for me.
Renee LeBel
I took the Defensive Driving class online because of COVID-19. Took breaks often so it wasn't too painful. Mr. Turner was great. The cost, $95 is what is mandated by the state, so anywhere you go it will be the same price. Because of that, I recommend A-1.
Joey Sabbagh
The teacher was very informative on all sorts of information. He made the class go by with ease. Goes over all laws and things to watch out for on the road. I happened to forget the teachers name, but he was a great guy and could make a quick joke to put a smile on your face.
Ben Connelly
When I initially signed up, I thought this class was going to be a miserable experience... 20 hours in 3 days!? Fortunately the instructor was really fun and kept things interesting the whole time. They pay for a sandwich from next door, plenty of breaks, and I even got a gas card. You can't beat this place if you're mandated to take defensive driving. Thanks A-1!
Brian Grant
Awesome experience! It was well worth the long six hours, Roli Edun our instructor was very professional and informative! The information learned has help with re-thinking and use precautionary measures while driving. Purpose well served, Thanks A-1!
misty tribur
Took the risk reduction class over a three day period. Mr. Teague (??) was great, easy to understand, kept my interest, and was not boring!
Michael Day
Pros:
- The instructor was about as engaging as you could ask for in a defensive driving course
- I received my certificate the next business day, as stated.
Cons:
- The facilities are not conducive to learning. Random assortment of chairs, small TV where the entire day is centered around, strange room layout. Don't think they invest a ton of the money back into the place to make it better.
- No restaurants/coffee shops in walking distance, except for one sandwich shop.
Conclusion:
- If you have to take defensive driving, this is a good place to go.
- I'm sure some of the 5 star reviews are organic...
Diane Kim
easy registration process (you could also walk in), and the instructor Ron was very engaging. The class was instructive and I recommend taking a defensive driving course just for an education purpose as well!
Eleanor Clifton
Taking defensive driving here was a good experience.
-The instructor (Katie) was interesting and engaging
-I learned more than I expected
-The time flew by
-fun employees
My only qualm was the facilities. Very dingy and old...but other than that, it was great!
I highly recommend this place.
Kre8 1133
The instructor was A1, I really didn’t think I would have learned so much while having a good time as well. Thanks for getting me through this. I will definitely recommend everyone to come here no matter the distance.
Tiyera Gravitte
Had to take a Defensive Driving class for my Speeding ticket!! They’re availability for taking the course are perfect for anyone who needs things done in a timely matter!! Enjoyed the instructor Roli! Very cool and very informative!!
Andrew Guest
I was highly enlightened by my DUI risk reduction class. I found it to be very informative and even fun at times. My instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging. All-in-all it was a good experience!
Dan J
This driving school is great! The program taught me a great lesson on the choices I make in life. Mrs.White was our teacher and did an excellent job throughout the program.
Bee Valentine
Definitely breaks the stereotype when it comes to a defensive driving class. Comfortable chairs, 10 min breaks every hours, information that can really apply to the real world. I learned some laws I wasn't aware of and my instructor kept things entertaining. Also the class includes a free Philly cheese stake a few shops down! Over-all a really great experience!
Shelby Twiggs
Class was informative. Instructor was friendly and personal. I am a better driver now, and learned about some risks and bad habits I was doing. Class ended on time and there were enough breaks.
Reggie Mack
Mr. Larry Meade was outstanding. I honestly came into the class thinking that this was just a boring class I had to take. But he made it very interactive. He made it a point to learn everyone's name, despite the diffuculty. He not only made the class interesting, but we learned and payed attention. He is an amazing individual.
Thorne Melcher
These classes, no matter where you take them, are mostly a waste of time, since they all use the same super easy, lowest common denominator, state-provided course materials, but at least at A-1, everyone seemed friendly, the facilities were clean, and the experience was, overall, as pleasant as something like this could be.
I took the defensive driving class with Harry, an older gentleman that was really nice and had a good sense of humor.
Olaolu Bolu
I went for the defensive driving course, and had a great experience. The paperwork was minimal, and my instructor was very charismatic which made the six hours of lecture fly by.
Jim Coker
The option to attend virtually was excellent. Very convenient. The instructor was well-qualified and made the material interesting and informative.
S Starks
I took a class at the Cheshire bridge location and Rhonda did a wonderful job keeping the class engaged and focused on the topics she discussed with us. I would definitely recommend A-1, thanks for a great experience.
Nick Silvestri
Wonderful staff, easy to work with. Flexible hours for those who need daytime classes.
I never felt judgment or guilt from the instructor; no embarrassment in the class.
I highly recommend.
Teimyrna
The driving course was amazing! I learned sooo much that I didn’t already know. Everything was smooth. My instructor for the course Albert was funny and that made the day go by well.
Nick Landon
A-1 Driving School was just that, A-1. Keith was very knowledgeable, and the class wasn't nearly as much of a drag as you might think. Everyone should take this class so I don't have to honk at as many people on 285.
Jake Dean
The experience sucked that I had to come to a 3 day class due to high risk choices, but overall Lulu the instructor is fabulous and made the experience for the 3 days Awesome! She is fabulous.
Pollara Cobb
I had a great experience with A-1 Driving School. My instructor was Mr. Barry. He was hilarious and taught me a lot about the realities of defensive driving. I keep his words always in mind when I'm out in the road.
Crystle Smith
This was A-1 Driving School was really informative. Mr. Barry and Ms. Jones were detailed and they were not boring! I had a great time, I would definitely recommend this school to anyone!
Emily Oppenheim
Lulu was the best instructor! She made it interesting and not hard to sit through! The time passed before I knew it, and I learned a lot. I would definitely recommend A-1 Driving School.
Nia Andrews
The class was great. The instructor LuLu takes the class very seriously , is open to discussion and cares about every individual in the class. You learn what you need to learn and as an added bonus lunch is included !
Yanet Hernandez-Montoya
Place is in a very unpleasant area but the class was amazing. The instructor was fun and very knowledgable of his work. Learned alot and time flew by fast. Keep up the great work !
Tara Washington
Best Driving School There Is. And My Instructor Was Amazing. I Learned So Much Within A 6hr Timeframe. I Definitely Can Say A-1 Driving School Earned All 5 Stars With Me.
Jim Lulejian
This was a grat place to take a defensive driving course. They were very nice, went through each chapter in detail, and really showed passion for better driving. It has helped me when driving, and I feel better empowered to navigate Atlanta's roads. Great place!
Courtney C
This class was very informative. I learned a lot of new practices and new laws, thanks to the instructor, Mr. Turner. And I also got a refresher course on things I didn't realize I forgot. I highly recommend A-1 Driving School!
Blake Mcalavy
Nice and convenient website for finding a time that works for you and easy online registration and payment! Class is super easy. Laid back. The state requirements are very easy and instructor fills in with plenty of conversation. Highly recommend using A1.

Definitely a great place to take a defensive driving class. For something that nobody wants to do, it was reasonably painless. Katie was a great instructor and the day went by faster than expected.

For a defensive driving class, you probably can't do much better than this. The instructor was very good at keeping the class engaged and from zoning out. The actual building was the only thing I would say needs upgrading.

Very informative. I'll agree that I thought that I knew everything I needed to know about driving, but there was a wealth of information that I picked up and I will pass it on to those drivers that I know who needs it, but hasn't been ordered to take the class. I would definitely recommend A-1.
