911 Driving School - Columbia was pretty good. They were prompt and I thought that they did a really good job with teaching my son the fundamentals of driving. He was very prepared by the time he went to get his driver's license. I also liked the fact that I didn't have to take him to the DMV. Everything was done there.
The other great thing is that it's run by police officers. They see craziness every day. They see right every day and they see wrong every day. They see bad habits. The officers talked about all of that in their classroom instruction. There are some behind the scenes things that police officers are aware of because they are constantly in a law enforcement environment that other instructors wouldn't know.
It's a little bit more expensive than a lot of other schools I contacted. It's probably $100 more, but I think it was worth it for the peace of mind and the satisfaction knowing that their instructors are the ones who are both training students and giving them the test.
