“The value of Driver Ed in a Box is excellent. I was able to instruct my daughter according to our schedule & spend extra time on materials I thought she needed.” – Parent, Pinon, New Mexico
“Excellent. It gives the parent more insight into the student’s progress & abilities while stressing the collision-free attributes to the student.” – T.B.C., Ruidoso, New Mexico
“The vehicle training was great. I loved working with my dad as opposed to some instructor I didn’t know. When done with one training area I felt I could take on the next one. I have become extremely comfortable with driving in almost any condition. I loved your program and thank you for creating it.” – Aaron Bradford, Student
“It is very detailed and informative. I felt my student learned more taking longer time to complete than the 2 1/2 week drivers ed offered in our location.”– Parent, Ruidoso, New Mexico
“The student workbook went in depth on the subject matter & was a good tool to judge my daughter’s comprehension.” – Parent, Pinon, New Mexico
