This is an atrocious company. From the awful website to the impossible communication, miserable classes and unprofessional instruction, ABC driving has consistently been below my expectations of any driving school. First of all, the communication is very difficult to deal with. If you are trying to enroll in a class, schedule a driving time, or just find out about information, you will have to doggedly fight for any successful interaction, whether it be in person, on the phone or through email. The class itself, (a two week under 18 learning session) was miserable. To be fair, I've never taken classes from a different company, so I don't know the failings of this class in particular. However, by all means they could have done better. The class opens with an introduction to driving, and the next few days are very valuable. We follow along with the AAA driving textbook, and watch the videos, with occasional interruptions from the teacher, to add some grisly stories to put the instructions to life. These are always disgusting, a waste of time, and often sublty sexist. (The only people I've ever seen at ABC are men) We move on from that to spend many days watching horrific videos of drunk and distracted driving experiences, and to me these are essential for safety. However, by warned, they are a miserable few days. Then the class culminates in a "test" I use the word loosely because it is 50 basic questions with answers that the students spent an hour memorizing during class. No one failed, and I suspect no one ever has. I wish I could say to never use this company, but as they boldly state on their website, "we are the best and only driving school in Santa Fe" therefore, if you want to be educated in driving, there's no other choice.I'm so sorry.Good luck.
