Pricing for the Session was quite good. Info was helpful and good. Data was informative. Only complaint was that it had way too long lesson plans, and total time to complete, and kind of "dragged out"... See more

Once the kinks were adjusted at the start of the course, all went fine. The course was long, but I found it informative. I took the course to reduce my auto-insurance premium. Well worth it!

I couldn’t make it function properly and cancelled the transaction successfully, after calling the credit card, which was also a huge pain in the ass.

Easy to follow program

This program was very easy to follow and I love the “Read aloud” feature. It allowed me to really focus.

Hello, Forrest, Thank you for the feedback! We're glad the course worked well for you. We recommend providing your certificate of completion directly to your insurance provider, as they should be able to process it from there.

Had issues with voice verification and reached out via email. No one responded. That said, paid for a service that did not work for me. 0 stars and I expect a refund or will dispute the charges.

horrible customer service and horrible shipping certificate get mine after 1 month terrible

I had a very disappointing experience with this company. The customer service was unprofessional and unhelpful when I tried to resolve an issue with my order. On top of that, the shipping took much longer than promised, and I was not given proper updates regarding the delay. I understand that delays can happen, but communication and customer support are extremely important. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet my expectations, and I would not recommend this service based on how my situation was handled.

The delays and lack of communication you described fall well below the standard we strive to provide, and your frustration is completely understandable. We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback — it helps us improve, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. I would never recommend this company to anyone. The excessive security checkpoints make it impossible or very frustrating to complete the course. I got locked out and the only option was to take the course all over again from scratch.

Hello, Eva, We're very sorry for the experience you had. Our identity verification steps are required by state regulations, but we completely understand how disruptive it is when they cause access issues. Losing your course progress on top of that is not something anyone should have to deal with, and we sincerely apologize. We appreciate you sharing this so we can continue to improve.

Charging people 10% to get there certificate instantly is diabolical. Hope the company goes bankrupt and gets shut down.

Hello, Daniel, We understand the frustration, and we want to clarify — the instant certificate download is a completely optional add-on. Standard certificate delivery is always available at no additional cost. We're sorry this wasn't made more clear during the checkout process and appreciate your feedback.

Excellent Defensive Driving course

Accessing the defensive driving system was easy, the course materials were current and relevant, and the knowledge checks helped to reinforce the information presented. I enjoyed taking this course at my own pace without worrying about missing any information.

Well

Well
I paid for the course and spent hours taking it online to find out that I don't qualify for the 2 point deduction. Makes no sense to me.
Should be more upfront about what doesn't qualify.

Hello, Kenneth, That's completely fair feedback and we appreciate you sharing it. Eligibility for point reductions varies by state and insurer, and we agree this should be communicated more clearly upfront before a customer invests their time. We're sorry for the frustration and will take this into account as we continue to improve the experience.
