Seattle’s Most Convenient Driver Education Program
Our objective
The goal of Driver Education Services of Seattle is helping busy students who are active in sports and school activities to take driver ed by offering programs which fit their schedules. We fully understand and respect the value of your time. (both students and their parents) Our format allows students to take traffic safety education with minimal disruption to school and sports while fully complying with all Washington State Department of Licensing requirements. Ours is the most convenient and flexible program in Seattle.
We can accommodate your schedule
By offering 3 different class formats (1, 2 and 3 days a week) we likely have a program that fits your needs. Since 2004 we have helped many teens with extremely busy schedules who could not be served by other programs. Missed classes can be easily made up. If a student cannot come to a make-up class, a private session can be arranged. We will do everything possible to help your teenager complete the program and get their license. During the school year we have a unique one-day-a-week class that students can attend on either Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon each weekend. Whatever works best for you is fine.
Free home or school pickup
To make driver education as convenient as possible for you, we pick up and drop off our students at home, school or sports practice within our normal operating area on the in-car lessons. (Ballard, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Wallingford, Green Lake, Phinney Ridge, Greenwood, Broadview, University District and other areas depending on the time of day) Need a ride to class? We can sometimes provide that too. Contact us for details.
A great student experience
Driver education does not need to be boring or painful. Our office is spacious with comfortable seating. We provide a very generous selection of complimentary food and beverages. The instruction is lively, engaging and with no authority complex. We also have a racing game simulator which is both really fun and significantly sharpens driving skills. (the system actually gives the physical feel of the roadway to the drivers) Our students enjoy unmatched first class treatment. The instruction is totally relevant to actual real-world driving situations, it is not based on theory. There are no tedious textbooks or time- consuming homework assignments.
Private in-car lessons
Unlike other programs where the students go out in groups, our on-street lessons are private. This method both reduces stress and increases the productivity of the instruction. Our students are not required to sit in the back seat for hours while others drive. That is time that can be better spent on other activities like sports, activities or schoolwork.
Individualized instruction
Because the ability and experience level of each teenager varies significantly, our in-car lessons are tailored to the needs of each individual student. We do not use a “one size fits all” approach. Our method increases the effectiveness of each driving lesson by not spending excessive time on skills that have already been mastered and instead, puts more emphasis on tasks that have not been mastered.
The best defensive training
As you know, there are lots of bad drivers out there. Our defensive driving instruction goes far beyond just “Watching out for the other guy.” We teach a process which once mastered, gives our students the ability to identify, predict and react to incompetent drivers before potential collisions become actual collisions by examining 3 specific factors of other drivers.
Drive test review
Included in the program fee is a one-hour review before the student takes the road test at the Department of Licensing. This session is most effective when taken within 10 days of the test.
Ask your friends about us
As you know, a recommendation form a friend is roughly 50 times more credible than what an ad or a website tells you. This being the case, we invite you to ask your friends about our program. Over the past 7 years we have served thousands of students from Ballard, Lakeside, Bush, Garfield, Bishop Blanchet, Holy Names, O’Dea, Roosevelt, Seattle Prep, Ingraham, SAAS, Northwest and Nathan Hale. If you ask about the experience they had in our program, you will hear positive things. We have built an extremely successful business completely through reputation and referrals and because of this, we go to extraordinary lengths to provide a level of customer service that simply does not exist anywhere else.
The next step:
If you have questions about our program or about driver education in general (we are glad to help even if you do not enroll with us) feel free to contact us at 206-571-8334 or email. Because every one of our classes sells out, the earlier in advance you register, the better. Just click the “Enroll” link and you will be directed through the process.
