Hi Fatima, thanks for the all-caps 1-star review! We’ve looked through our system and can’t find any registration under the name you used to post this. We’ve asked Trustpilot to request more information from you so we can verify your enrollment. As for the substance of your complaint: our course is designed—and legally required—by the New York State DMV to take at least 5 hours, not including the quizzes. That’s a state mandate every approved provider must follow. If it took you or your associate longer, that’s not a sign of anything being broken—it simply means you took your time, which is totally fine. Life gets busy, people take breaks, and some prefer to complete it in small chunks. That’s exactly why the course is self-paced. Getting mad at us for being an online course is kind of like buying a car and being angry it isn’t a truck—there are other options out there, and we’re clear about what we offer from the start. If you would have preferred an in-person option, there are still many providers throughout the state who offer classroom-based instruction. We always encourage students to choose the format that works best for them. Thanks again for engaging with us—and we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t match the overwhelmingly positive feedback we’ve received from thousands of satisfied students.

It was good due to the ability to move at my own pace. It was easy although I was given multiple chances if I didn’t pass a particular section. Thank you
