Agreed to a $25 change and ended with multiple charges of $72.38. Run away from this site - scammers. Will be calling Visa to dispute.

Yes, the course is only $25 (plus $3) but then AFTER YOU PAY youre asked if you want to audio (for a price) so you dont have to read the whole thing; or an emailed copy of your completion (for $35); the only free way to get your completion is through USPS and it takes "11-30 days".
And this goes on for 3 pages of add-ons that you probably thought would be included as part of the course (because it usually is).
And then you learn that you have to get a form printed and notarized and scanned and mail it back to them before you can get your certificate.
This business is technically doing everything they said they would but making sure to squeeze every penny out of you for every little thing along the way, which really makes it feel like a cheap, scammy operation.
There are several other options out there for this kind of service and I wish I would have picked any other one.

I had decided to pick this website out of the 3 I was provided, which unbeknownst to me was the worst decision I had ever made. After paying $28, I was punched in the face with a $40 addon to get my certificate emailed to me. This was a payment-by-payment process, where after I already paid $28 they threw more payments at me, making the payment for each addon separate. This was clearly done on purpose to pressure you into using their website, hiding the extra addons behind the first payment. The free option of course was to send it to you by mail, but they add on by saying 7-30 days and that the current state of the postal service could take even longer than 30 days. Clearly another way to pressure you into paying $40 for the email service. Having no shopping cart page with the addons you want is a HUGE red flag and I will keep this in mind from now on. Then they have the audacity to ask for a tip at the end, after slapping you in the face with the ludicrous addons. And after all this nonsense, the youtube channel for the video quizzes you have to do is named "Lowest Price Traffic School", along with the website URL when you login and their motto being "Stop searching. Start saving. Why pay more?". The audacity. I feel as if I am being taunted. I will tell all my friends to STEER CLEAR OF THIS WEBSITE if they are ever in need of a defensive driving course. I also just realized this website never mentions anywhere the cost of the delivery options in English. They only mention what kind of delivery options are available. The only way to see the cost of the delivery options beforehand is if you go onto the spanish site. This is also the only place to access a shopping cart. Their prices clearly provide a fake discount, saying everything is discounted when clearly a $40 email delivery option is ludicrously overpriced.

Originally signed up for the combo package, then had to pay an additional fee for email delivery for the driving record as well as the certificate. I ended up spending $28 on the course (because without notice they changed my order and said they gave me the beginner course instead), $4.95 for audio I never used and did not want, $39.95 on the certificate with email delivery and $34.92 on a the driving record with email delivery including a discount since I complained.

This is a complete scam. They are not upfront about how much they charge you. They charge you $40 more dollars after payment of $25, a complete scam that they are not honest about. They ask you to review the site BEFORE this additional charge, so customers leave good reviews and then are immediately charged $40+ dollars to do the class. THIS COURSE IS NOT $25!

This meets requirements but they push for you to pay extra money for everything. Then at the end they messed up my shipping address. I called to verify to make sure it was right and they kept trying to guilt trip me into rush shipping. I finally obliged.

Do not use these clowns. They try to nickel and dime you for so many unneeded components and will give it for free at end after you decline. (Email you your certificate instead of them repeatedly asking for 24.95)

I've taken lots of courses in past and this one actually required you to watch screen even when you are done... as it will randomly ask questions and have 90 seconds to reply. EVEN while waiting for mandatory time to complete whilst done all the work.

The questions on many videos were HARD and some not even relevant to the video.

I believe they WANT you to fail so they can recapture your money a second time.

DO NOT USE THESE SCAMMERS!

Shady, very Shady.They get you on the hook for the course & admin fees first. Once you have paid that, THEN you find out its $40 to get the completion certificaiton by EMAIL?! WTF?! REALLY?! Other companies will send it to you for FREE or immediate download. I sent an email to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation about this site. I was able to get a refund when I called saying that that is unacceptable. They get you on the hook for the course then milk you for more for something that shouldn't cost what they are charging. In my opinion the way this company operates is TOTAL & UTTER BS, it appears to be very deceptive not letting customers know ALL fees & costs up front. Why would anyone set up a business in such a manner as it only cultivates suspicion and distrust. This is only my experience and opinions.

Very easy to follow and kept my attention. Organized with great videos. Especially appreciated that you can pause at specific intervals. Enjoyed the videos and the classroom like experience. The intermittent humor was so appreciated.

The content is very informative. It takes time though to go through it, but the audio made life easier. Don't understood why it is required to submit Student Affidavit if someone is taking this course just for learning.

The driver safety review was helpful. The presenter was great. Easy to access and complete course at my pace. I did notice a couple of test questions preceded the class material, but the questions were logical to answer.

They charge you for the course then once you complete the course they charge you for the certificate. Now they are charging me every month $9.95 when I don't even need or use their services any longer.

I am just now starting this course. Everything is well those far. I hope to learn a lot from this course and make better decisions when it comes to driving. I need to remember to be safe and take caution at all times.

The materials were easy to understand. Good instructor too. You guys are doing a great job. After completing the course my certificate was sent to my home address on time which was great. I would recommend this course to my friends and family.

Be careful providing these people with your credit card number. They will charge as much as they can even if you did not sign up for the service they just add nonsense services to your account and charge your credit card.

The course is very comprehensive and is only $25. That being said the cost for other addons that they want to to buy are outrageous. If you want your certificate mailed to you there is no cost, but they say it will take at least 7 days before it is mailed. Why? If you want it emailed it costs $29.95. Why? Its an automated system. Then they tell you that you need your driving record (at least for Texas) to submit to the court and that is around $35. I called the court and they said I don't need to submit it. So, check first before you order it.

I thought this was self paced. Wished I would have realized before purchasing. Also, finished the course and to get my certificate I either have to wait a couple weeks to receive by snail mail or pay an outrageous price to have emailed. I am still waiting for my "free" certificate to arrive by snail mail as I was not willing to pay an additional $40 to get my certificate that I thought I was paying for when I purchased the course.

I hate being nickeled and pennyied to death to purchase services which should have been included in the price of purchase or a package made and ask just once- show everything available, and then allow the person to click on items they want with purchase price is clearly delineated, and combo packs available for decreased amounts

Breaks are waste of time, questions about verification should fit the person doing the test, shutting down my test because the questions are not accurate

The course is like the army "hurry up and wait" breaks are a complete waste of time. Takes way to much time

First off. I rarley leave reviews but this one forced my hand.
The first thing that caught my attention was the fact that they charge $30 to deliver the certificate by email and no cost to ship it (ETA 30+ days). If that isint fraustrating enough (they know you need it asap so youll pay the $30) if you decline to pay the fee and opt for the mailing option they offer it for $20 instead. Say no to that and they offer it for $10, followed by their final offer of $0.00 for email delivery as it costs them more to ship it then to email it. Nows when I really get upset! Most people are deparate and pay the outrageous cost of $30. #PriceGuaging.

Second of all, they promise the cheapest price guaranteed for Driving records and Driving courses. Guess what? You can get it a driving record for $12.00 from the Gov website with (No way!) no $10.00 email charge. Crazy! Thats $20.00 cheaper then them. Will they honor their guarantee when I showed them this? Nope, they only match 3rd party prices, not the cheaper price you can get directly from the source.

Last point. The course website is old.

All in all do not recommend!

Like this review so more people see it.

So expensive purchases just to send information by email from diver course conclusion and also driving records.
Classes online are ok.

Was really really really reeally really really really really really really really really really really good. I mean really really really good.
