I walked my sister here for the 5 hour pre-licensing course, since I had called a week earlier to make an appointment. The woman I spoke to said there were seats available and that she was welcome to come Saturday at 10:00am. When we arrived there, the place didn't open until about 5-10 minutes after the time we were told to arrive. The owner, Mr. Khan, told us that no 5 hour pre-licensing course was taking place at the moment at his location. He instead directed us to another school that he owned and was run by his daughter. Because we didn't have transportation of our own to this second school, Mr. Khan was kind enough to give us a ride there. He also warned us that the fee for the course at the next school was five dollars more than his current location, so he allowed us to pay now and save a few dollars.The 5 hour course itself disappointed us. The new location was very hot and humid, with fans just blowing hot air around. It was also quite dusty compared to the Jamaica Avenue location. We were not given any breaks during the course, not even for lunch or the bathroom. Another thing; we were let out of the course an hour and a half early, and basically watched outdated videos the whole time. The instructor just kind of sat off to the side and didn't clarify or explain anything, and the videos got repetitive after a while.When the course was done, we tried to get the certificate of completion, but the young woman behind the counter said she needed to send it to Mr. Khan, and we could get it from him. The delay is a bit annoying, but nothing too bad since the school is within walking distance from where we live.Anyway, my sister will continue taking lessons from Mr. Khan, since the location is convenient for her. She also reports that although Mr. Khan can be stern and a bit grumpy, he is a good driving instructor in general.Random story: As I was walking my sister back from the driving school, we witnessed a car accident occur, which was really ironic.
