First I would like to save you the hassle of reading this review and say, STAY AWAY from this business, if you can even call it that. They took our money for an "accelerated course" and stated that we would have a local instructor in Enfield or Suffield after her online courses are completed. The online courses were not run properly as instructors could not access their OWN Zoom calls and we had to reschedule multiple times on their own schedule. We then got past the nightmare of online learning to in person driving. After calling weeks and weeks we were able to book one lesson. Now all lessons are booked up locally however conveniently they have dozens of open appointments everywhere but local. I did not sign up to drive my child over an hour away for lessons. I then requested management to speak to and have never heard back from them. They simply stated someone would call me back, and after my latest call (today) I was advised to expect a call by next Wednesday. This business is a legit joke and should be avoided by everyone if possible. I am at a loss for words at how poorly run it is, how horrible their follow through is, along with everything else they have to offer. Just tell your kids to wait the extra two months and teach them yourselves, as you will end up doing it anyway based on their scheduling. Credit card dispute incoming and I would love to challenge them in court for services rendered if they try to dispute my credit card complaint. 0 stars if it was an option.

As a parent of a student driver, the teacher at the Avon location is not professional as a teacher. She blamed the parents for not teaching the students "enough" (We didn't go to busier roads to train the child as his skill was not up to the level yet). This approach of teaching caused arguments among parents and child, and goes against the purpose of having other people to train the child how to drive. Please, never blame the parents, because you're the teacher - parents count on you to teach the student driver, not blaming their parents.

Their instructors need to be much more aware of their surroundings. I understand student drivers need to be defensive and cautious but when they are driving 15 to 20 miles an hour below the speed limit with a line of literally 50 cars behind them, their instructors need to be situationally aware to ensure their students are not causing hazards to other drivers.
