“The students and parents love it. I have had
several who really weren’t sure if their student was
ready for the responsibility of having their driving
permit but when they finished the online portion
they felt confident about them taking their written
test and having their driving permit.”

“The Driver’s Ed program was great. The students
were able to navigate thru the program and do
the lessons in a timely matter. The materials were
self explanatory and the students needed minimal
help. I will use the program again in the Fall 2015.”

“All I can say is that the License On Line has
helped a lot of our students to receive their Permit
from an after school program. They are already
looking forward to the upcoming school year and
y’all have been more than helpful and patient
with our students and our questions.”

“Thank you so much for accommodating all of our
questions, mine, our students and parents. I never felt like
any question we had was insignificant because you and
the online teacher were always eager to help. I couldn't
be more pleased with your License On Line Program, and I
know that many of our students and parents are very
excited for us to have it again in the Fall.”

“It has been a great program for our students. It is
a cheaper alternative for our high school students
as our local junior college charges $400+ per
student. It’s been easy to set up and you’ve been
easy to work with.”
