To get your license in Georgia, you need, among other things, documented hours of driving, usually with a certified instructor, and 30 hours of drivers ed. I did both with Alfa Driving and I am very satisfied. The actual driving was done in two-hour sessions and built up my confidence on the road. I had been dreading the classroom hours; I had heard from my friends that it was really boring, and thirty hours seemed like a lot. To my surprise, the classroom instructor, Vern, made the class pretty fun. There was some of the standard reading from a textbook, but we also went to a Lamborghini dealership, got breakfast at McDonald's, and discussed driving stories with Vern. You really get to know the other kids, both during class and lunch, which we got from various restaurants within walking distance: I made a few friends at Three Dollar Cafe, which I recommend as well. Despite these seemingly driving-unrelated activities, I got a 100 on both the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program (ADAP) and on the Driver's Ed final with no studying. I would definitely recommend Alfa in general and Driver's Ed with Vern in particular. Read Less

I hired the service to get a car and an instructor to go to the driving test. The teacher picks you up and drives you to the testing area. You practice for 1 hour and get really good driving tips. After that, the test is piece of cake. Great service all the way starting with the call to make an appointment to the instructor. Read Less

I had one-to-one driving classes with Vern and it was indeed a great learning experience. Vern was very patient and knew his stuff super well. Definitely recommended if you want to know how to drive properly as an important life-time skill. And make sure to get Vern's class because he is the most excellent teacher ever! Read Less

Attending drivers Ed to learn how to drive better and save money on my insurance. First day was pretty basic, we watched numerous videos explaining road signs and their meanings and then followed that up by taking a road signs test. My instructor for that day was Jan Davis, she was great (lovely personality and witty) and had plenty of stories to tell about her days as a cop. My instructor for the following three days was Vern, a great guy who made the class interesting and enjoyable for everyone (he even let us drive!). Looking forward to my behind the wheel hours with him. Great school, great staff and a very friendly environment, would recommend Alfa driving school to anyone looking to learn how to drive or just wants to polish his/her driving skills! Read Less

Great experience and highly recommend. The staff explained the classes very well and the instructor taught the class very well. Our class size was approximately 15 people and she was able to answer every question with precise answers. I came for a traffic ticket and left with lots of insight on traffic law, safety and accident avoidance. The youngest student was 15 and oldest was mid 40's. Everybody seemed to enjoy the time and the best part.....I got my ticket DISMISSED by showing the class certificate. Thx. Read Less

Great people and excellent teachers. My son is a better driver as a result of this school. Class instructors explained the importance of being a defensive driver. Road instructor left no stone unturned- expressway, downtown Atl, traffic jams, blown tire and more was all explained or experienced. I really appreciate this school. Read Less

I wouldn't give a Defensive Driving School more than 3 stars since it was the worst day of my life. But since I spent 7 hours here, I might as well write a review of its staff, location, and the quality of food. J/kI got a stupid ticket (not a speeding ticket), and I needed to get rid of some points. The class was 7 hours long! We finished the class early, but they made us stay the entire time because I think that's required by the state (to punish us hardened, dangerous criminals who get caught breaking small traffic laws).The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Also, the instructor was fun and tried to make the class interesting. She would give hints like, "pay attention to this part since it will be on the test." Note: if you don't get a 70% or better on the test, you will have to take the class again (and pay another $75). But the test is super easy, and everyone passed.The location was easy to find if you live in the Marietta area. The parking lot is horrendous though. It's the most dangerous lot to drive out of. It would be ironic to get into an accident trying to drive out of your defensive driving class.  They also needed to turn the air conditioning up. It was getting pretty hot in the classroom. Their vending machines provided adequate snacks and beverages. The seats and desks were more comfortable than my desks in the lecture halls of Georgia Tech. Read Less
