I signed up for Brentwood Drivers Training expecting that since it was quite well known, it would be a worthwhile experience. It was terrible! The textbooks were falling apart. Most were missing many pages and had obscene amounts of writing and drawings in them. \r

The content of the class itself was ridiculous. The class I took was located away from the brentwood location, and I guess that's why my teacher was able to get away with teaching us virtually nothing. The ""Quizzes"" she gave us were all open-book, so any monkey with half a brain could pass them. She told us the answers to the final permit test (Literally...not only did she tell us the answers, she told us the multiple choice letter!) Instead of teaching the class, we would read out of a book, and when that was done, spend the remainder of the class watching ""relevant films."" These films included the Blues Brothers and some documentary about possessed cars.\r

For $350, I learned nothing about driving and wasted an entire week watching movies I could have rented at Blockbuster. These people seriously need to get their act together.
Pros: Ridiculously easy to pass
Cons: Dilapidated textbooks, poor teaching, waste of time
