As the parent of a new driver, I thoroughly appreciated 911 Driving Schools attention to detail and excellent standards. Experience taught by current/former police officers could not have been better! I would highly recommend 911 to all.

This driving school is very professional and accommodating. Their on-line scheduling system is user friendly, but they were also super helpful when I called in to the office. They worked hard to help schedule drives and make sure my son was well prepared to drive on his own.

911 Driving School goes beyond typical driving schools by making the students think about real world, practical driving practices. They explain the why for the rules of the road and how it protects the student and other people on the road.Our family does not have a lot of disposable income. That being said, this driving school is worth every cent. There were other schools for less money, yes, but at the end of the day, we wanted to ensure our son was given every tool and the best instructors. My advice to other parents is a simple question. Would you price shop a surgeon or would you want the best one in the hospital for your kids operation? Set the stage for safe driving right from the start and give your kid every opportunity to stay safe on the road. It is life and death.Thank you to all the staff of the Camas 911 Driving School!

Everyone at the 192nd office has been amazing over the course of this last year and a 1/2 and all during the shut down and phased reopening.The instructors are fantastic and a wealth of knowledge. They have the strong desire to not only equip our children with the safest of driving skills but they also want them to be successful to pass their required tests. A huge shout out to Amelia, John, and Marty!

If giving a place 0 stars was available Thats what Id do, I was taking a private drive with an instructor whom Had 0 business being in this industry any longer. Old, White, White hair, Blue eyes. He told me Hed scoop my dead body off the road. Please dont send your kids here. the front desk ladies are very kind though! maybe only take the permit tests here... 2/10. Highly Inappropriate.

911 Driving School is very professional and provides excellent instruction to our 15.5 year old twins, boy and girl. Instructor Cynthia Bull does a great job instructing the classroom material using Zoom and driving instructor Bob Kadow is very calm, professional and detail oriented. Great that this company uses former law enforcement professionals to instruct the classes. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn how to drive...correctly!

I took my road test with 911 driving school back in March and was completely satisfied with my experience. I was able to contact the school really fast both using phone and email. The manager was very nice and polite and even gave me a few tips before my road test. Thank you a lot! Every time I drive by 911 driving school (East Vancouver) location I look back on my positive experience with you!

My teenagers enjoy the instruction, even though class is virtual and the feedback they’ve been given during their 1:1 drives has really helped.I’m so thankful they have professional instructors providing the training as opposed to totally relying on mom & dad! I would definitely recommend this course to newer drivers!

Our experience with 911 driving school was excellent. The class was detailed and included all the information needed to learn the rules of the road. Our main driving instructor, Cindy Bull, was a patient and knowledgeable teacher. The ease of scheduling drives and testing made the experience very positive. I would recommend this school to anyone to help their new driver learn how to drive.

My daughter had a very good experience at 911 driving school. They are the most expensive around but you definitely get what you pay for! They were all professional and helpful. It was a bit hard to get driving appointments when she first started due to them being backed up from the Covid shutdowns but when I called in to inquire they were very helpful to help find a time and I think they added instructors/drives to help with the backlog. I would highly recommend them for their professionalism and thoroughness in tea all aspects of driving.

I needed to take a defensive driving class to excuse a ticket. This is mostly a school for new drivers, but they accepted my case anyway. Id been driving commercially for years already and I still learned some new things that have helped me. For new drivers, this is the best class. Theyre thorough, educational, and very kind and helpful. And all the teachers were police officers at one time, which I think gives them a sharp edge over any other competition. If you want or need drivers education, this is the best place.

The instructors were excellent and took time and care with my daughter, both in the classroom and in the driving portion. They helped immensely with her skill level and with her confidence.

My daughter started in person driving school at 911 then approx 2 weeks later COVID-19 happened and shut everything down. The school was great with communication as to how class would happen and as soon as they got the go-ahead for drives again they were very quick to make arrangements for that to happen also. My daughter LOVED driving with Tim. She is typically quiet/shy around adults she doesn’t know and is easily intimidated by loud voices. Tim was very calming and encouraging.

As a parent, we wanted the best drivers training we could get for our son. 911 Driving School provided everything we were looking for. They communicated the laws and driving rules in a way that captured the students attention and more importantly their memories; and they gave both group and individual driving lessons which helped personalize the lessons giving each student the opportunity to improve where needed. We highly recommend 911 Driving School to anyone looking for a driving school.

All the interactions I’ve had, which in the beginning were quite a few, mainly questions. They were always very responsive and answered all my questions. My daughter has actually enjoyed the classes and driving instructors. She was worried in the beginning, as I’m sure most new drivers are but whatever they did, it worked great. Thank you 911DS, you guys are great!

Review №27

Learned things that really changed my perspective on driving, worth every lesson and time. On driving days the instructors are patient and straightforward, you get to work with people who were actually police officers before. Overall had an amazing experience and this school is the best option in my opinion due to shorter time spent in driving school overall (compared to other schools) but also due to very crucial learning material. I recommend this to anyone wanting to learn driving at a faster pace and take away great life lessons.

Review №35

I highly recommend 911 Driving School. My daughter is more aware of and enthusiastic about the rules of the road. She came away from her experience with 911 as a competent driver. She’s safe. She’s aware. She asks to practice (one-way roads, parallel parking) even though she’s already “graduated”. I credit their system with her interest in being a good driver. As for being a parent working with 911, I appreciated the phone calls with updates during the COVID-19 pandemic. They continued to reach out and were very clear about taking safe steps to get through the end of the course. The only reason I give them four stars instead of five is the confusion we had getting her signed up and what to expect for the course. I didn’t have access to the agenda (schedule for classroom vs actual driving vs expectation for testing, etc) so my daughter would get information when she went in. If they could publish simple outlines & calendar/schedule it would make the course exceptional.Note- my experience may be different than contracting through the school as we selected to take the course direct instead. The school may have access to the schedule/syllabus.

I was glad to choose driving instruction for my son that was conducted by trained police officers.

Excellent instructors who truly care. Instructors very knowledgeable and they go out of their way to work with the kids.I paid nearly $200 more for this school, taught by peace officers and Im glad I did. It was the best $650 to $700 I ever spent, and I know my son years down the road will genuinely thank me for putting him through such a first rate school.When you evaluate driving schools dont look for the cheapest ones, but look for the ones with the best track record. 9-1-1 I recommend wholeheartedly without reservation or hesitation. Our kids are WORTH saving.Mike & Kim Klampe/East Vancouver

My son and nephew took driving classes and instruction with this driving school and we have been very happy with the results. They took the weekend class taught by instructor Cheryl Higgins and she was incredible! She was so energetic and so excited about what she is teaching that I think the kids really liked her and responded to her well. My son had time in the car with several instructors and they were all very good with him, but I have to say he enjoyed his time with Mrs. Higgins the most! The class was very thorough, I learned things I didnt know about driving!! As I said, the instructors were all very good. The office staff was great too, very helpful and willing to answer all questions about the whole licensing process. Thank you for taking such good care of my boys!!

Mother of many and master of none, I have experienced many driving schools across the U.S. (Mt oldest is 50 and youngest is 14.)

I have one final child to educate and it will be at the 911 Driving School.

Being a senior citizen whose out of state license had expired when I moved to WA state meant I had to start over....did knowledge test in the city where I moved, then having my car driven in from out of state to another area meant I needed to get my driving license to be able to drive the car home to where I moved....I called 911 Driving School, were great to work with on an appt...today took that test. The driving examiner was very serious, but absolutely made me feel comfortable in taking the test....no critical comments at all ... when test is complete then you can discuss any areas needed for improvement...I was very rusty as I had not driven over half dozen times in the past year not having my car. All I could do was take my time and listen to instructions by the examiner. He made all the difference with the way he conducted my test.Thank you

911 Driving School is a wonderful organization. The kids get to learn from former police officers, who know what its like out there. The staff is kind, helpful and have a great sense of humor. They genuinely care about our kids and want them to be successful on the roads. Information is presented in a safe, yet firm way and the kids feel like they can trust their instructors. Ive sent two kids to their program and they both came out with a clear understanding of what is expected of them on the road as responsible drivers and citizens. I highly recommend this program.

We had moved to Vancouver from Oregon when our oldest daughter came of age to get her permit & drivers license. I saw this place since it’s in the same area where WA Vehicle DOL office is located...I called the number to register and had no complaints. I joined in for the first part of the first day. I was super impressed that the instructor was a former police officer and his demeanor and teaching style allowed teenagers to relate & be engaged. It was only a 6 week course. Scheduling drives was painless. The cost was definitely worth it and we will be back when my youngest daughter comes of age. Highly Recommend

Review №97

I was so disappointed with the drivers ed experience my oldest had, at an agency I won’t mention, that I searched and evaluated nearly every drivers education program in the county before my second kiddo to one. The confidence (not over-confidence) and experience with which they helped my second kiddo develop driving was so aparent, my oldest asked to try their program (she had not yet even tried or wanted to get her license because she felt her driving “education” was lacking and her confidence in her skill was low.) The difference was AMAZING! Both kids are strong confident and safe drivers and have been for a few years. Our third just finished and has her license as well, we remain HIGHLY impressed with the program and instructors at 911. Our fourth will be attending in January and I am confident the 911 program will yield another success story for us. All our kids passed their written and drivers test with flying colors on their first try. Highly HIGHLY recommended!!
