The instructor giving my test was absolutely horrible. He failed me for "going ONE mile over the speed limit for 6 inches after a school zone speed limit sign." Not only is the human eye incapable of telling the difference between 23 and 24 mph using a mechanical speedometer, but really??!! 6 INCHES???!! At the end of my test, he said I was a good driver and would have passed except for this "error." He even said I could come back the very next day and would probably pass. As far as I can see, the guy just wants another $40. In addition to this, he was inexcusably rude to my mom for having a cheerful attitude and called her "high energy" in an insulting tone. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Seriously, you are better off waiting at the DMV. Read Less

The instructor, Brent, was very patient and friendly. He gave me a lot of information and I was also able to take the driving test with him. Everything went smooth. I would definitely recommend the Boulder Driving Academy to anyone who wishes to get a driver's license or wants to learn driving! Read Less

Definitely a great place to go to learn how to drive. The process was smooth and quick. Brent is a very thorough instructor who actually cares about safety on the road more than anything else. There was no hassle whatsoever. Great 2 hour lesson followed by a test that tested everything that needs to be tested on the road. Highly recommend this place! Read Less

My husband bought me a spot in their Driver's Ed class, and three two hour driving lessons for my birthday last year. I'm 35 and had never had a license. A combination of mostly living in cities, and a fear of driving had kept me from ever wanting to get my license. The Driver's Ed class put me at ease and prepared me to drive. Stephan (the owner, and Driver's Education instructor) is funny, kind, patient, and knowledgable. He wants young (and not so young) drivers to be safe and responsible, and you can tell her really cares about what he's doing. The driving instructors are also great. I did most of my lessons with Brent, who was, like Stephan, kind, helpful, funny, patient, and knowledgable. I passed my driving test today, and feel very well prepared for many years of safe, sane, calm, and responsible driving. I highly recommend Boulder Driving Academy for all your "Learning To Drive" needs.Read Less

I took lessons here when I first got my permit/license. I loved my instructors so I recommended them to a friend. When I called to schedule an appt for them, they receptionist was rude and impatient, going on to ask me sarcastic questions that had nothing to do with appt scheduling and then hung up on me the second I said ""thank you"". Never in my life have I been treated so horribly by a receptionist! Read Less

My daughter just finished her classroom and behind he wheel....WHEW!!!! i was really nervous about her driving but she is very confident and safe when she drives. Thanks BDA for sparing me the aggravation of teaching my teenager how to drive... Read Less

If I could rate this driving school less than 1, I would. I was promised an entirely different lesson over the phone than the one I actually received. The instructor I drove with put me in a situation that was unsafe (telling me the lane ended as it ended and to speed to cut the guy off to the right of me). This was my 1st true driving experience and it was completely awful. After getting back to the driving school, the instructor told me that I would get a free lesson because I didn't finish my lesson after being so shaken up about the lane switch. When I called, the receptionist told me that there was no way I would get a free lesson or any sort of refund. She was incredibly rude and blamed the end of the lesson on me. I am appalled at how I was treated. The lesson cost itself is a rip-off and the receptionist is beyond rude. I wouldn't go here. Find another school. Read Less

I'm the parent of a teen who attended the Boulder Driving Academy. She took both the classroom and behind the wheel courses. I have 3 issues. The first concerns not being able to take the driver's test for 4-5 weeks through the Academy after completing the behind the wheel course. What teenager wants to wait that long when you can schedule through DMV for 1 week later Second concern has to do with not being told when enrolling for behind the wheel classes that the driver's test was included in the price. We're now paying $21 to DMV. Third issue concerns the really poor attitude of the long term receptionist who was both nasty to my daughter who was just calling for information and with me when I expressed by surprise that I wasn't informed that the test was included. When I pointed out that teens weren't going to wait for another month to get their license, I heard a litany of the instructors being too busy, not their fault, having a busy day, etc.So get more help. Not my idea of customer service. I have a 14 1/2 year old who will be up for driving instruction soon, we won't be going here Read Less
