Save yourself some frustration and pick another school. We are having the same problem as everyone else. we paid in full on the first day of class. At this point we have been waiting 9 weeks to complete this course. What's more frustrating is that they will not even answer the phone or call back. Ridiculous.

STILL waiting on the "call"! Took our money the first night, completed classroom right away and now nothing! It's been about 2 months. I feel like scheduling the driving portion will never happen. So frustrating.

My daughter started with this school and we love it! The staff is beyond friendly and they are very flexible with scheduling. No complaints here.definitely recommend! Updated: Reading other reviews out there I thought I would update a little. We paid in full day 1 when so my daughter would get to the in car portion before her temps expired in May '18 and it was stated no problem. Now we did have to call in because time was running out and we had not heard from anyone.
That very day we received a call back and my daughter was scheduled for her in car portion. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Bee Driving, my daughter got her drivers license on 5/15/18! Thank you Ms. Campbell and Mr. Cresap!

Having the same problem as the other person. My son paid the first night of class, the entire amount. He completed the classes more than a month ago and no one has called him for in car. They said it would be 2-3 weeks tops. Now 4 weeks later we have called several times and been told it was passed to his instructor, who would call him soon. We are still waiting. Very frustrating for $400!

This facility holds classes and takes the kids money in the beginning. The in car is never scheduled or completed for months to come. BUYER BEWARE My son had completed his classes 3 moths ago and no in car done yet. My son has called over and over no call back no response. I myself have called and called no one answers it's just the machine I have left 3 voice mails requesting a call back. No returned phone call.
Not sure if they are part of the BBB but I'm contacting them to see. This is absolutely ridiculous. As a company they should do better and come up with a better system. My son is not the only one from his group that is going through this. I know of two other friends.
