I was frustrated throughout the unreasonably long period during which my teenager learned to drive with Central Driving Academy. Nothing came easily or quickly with this company. Central Driving Academy doesn't answer the phone, doesn't use email, and doesn't employ a modern scheduling tool, making communication nearly impossible. There were several mix-ups, including cancelled classes and cancelled behind-the-wheel appointments. After more than eight months, $565 (paid upfront), and unpleasantness, my teenager finally has proof that she finished the required driver ed course. I do not recommend using Central Driving Academy.

Terrible! Do not use this company. We pre-paid for classroom time and showed up several times to find the doors locked, no answer when we called, no return call, no explanation and NO APOLOGY! Then months later when we scheduled driving time and tried to call to change the time, NO ONE EVER ANSWERED THE PHONE. We were told via recorded message changes would not be accepted via voice mail so we did not leave a message! They did call me back however.....to say we now owed them a cancellation fee! WORST OF ALL...When my child was driving, the teacher was TEXTING! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Ridiculously bad business all the way around. Find another driving school. We are a Parker family. Use Nova Driving school instead which was recommended by several Parker Families. I wish I would listened.

Make sure you understand what is "Lesson". The actual driving time is less that you driving. Also, in my case they were always at least 15 min late. Once they notified me 5 minutes before class, that instructor is late for 45 minutes.
They are interested in your money - so they'll try to teach you as long as possible. You can spend a lesson doing mostly the left turn.
