911 Driving School

I had fantastic learning experience here. I learnt from Brady, he is a wonderful instructor. He points out each mistake as well as each of my learning from mistakes. He is a great mentor. Very professional and punctual. I chose 10 hour class and 9 are from Brady as I preferred him. I have cleared the test. Totally 911 Redmond Driving school is the Best. Overall it was really really great!

Stupid driving school. They won’t let you pass until they rob enough money from you. I know more than 10 people have the same experience. All five star review are fake. DO not come here.

Amazing driving school. Especially Robert Clarke he is so patient in teaching just by 3 class I learnt driving and was able to cleare my driving test. I recommend honestly to go 911 driving school for learning driving. Thanx 911

Amazing, honest and supportive, this is what they are! For me driving was the toughest task to accomplish. I had this great fear and was easily intimated by the vehicles moving in opposite direction. I started my classes with 911 back in 2014, Ed took my classes and he was a great instructor. I was pregnant at that time and before I could take a test, my baby was already here so It took me 1.5 years to rejoin the school again! I was nervous to start my driving again and started with 10 classes package. Robert (also the owner of 911 redmond) took my third lesson and I wish he had taken all my classes before. All I needed was confidence and from that 1 class I was more than ready to take my test. He said that I do not need any more lessons coz I am good to take the road test. This shows their level of honesty and supportiveness one would expect from their instructors. I took one more class just to analyze myself where I stood and following week took my test and bingo I cleared it! I cannot thank enough Robert for all the confidence he gave me. Inreally think that every student should be given atleast one class with Robert; he is a magician!
From all the instructors I got, I really liked Robert, Ed and Rami Lopez.
One particular thing that can be improved is the number of different instructors a student gets. I took 4 classes and every time with a new person. It sometimes gets confusing coz every instructor has different style of teaching. It would be really great if you get the same instructor in every class or atleast most of the classes.
But bottom line is this school definitely is the best!

For the most part, this is truly an excellent driving school. My youngest kid recently completed all the classes and all the required driving sessions in order to get her license. It was an excellent experience for her: she appreciated all the stories told by the instructors (who were police officers) — all relevant to the driving lessons taught, and all which made an impression. She, and we (her parents), appreciated how classes were taught on time, on schedule, and how everything involved was clearly explained on the 911 website and also when I called, prior to enrolling my daughter.
My eldest daughter attended the local Swerve school 3 years ago (before this 911 school was here in Redmond) and that, too, was an excellent experience. However, at that time, Swerve had the option for customers to pay their enrollment/​registration fees in 3 separate installments, which was a huge help for my family. They no longer have this option, which is why we chose 911 Driving School for my younger daughter, as 911 DOES accept payment in 3 installments, if so desired. My daughter wanted to contribute to paying for her driving classes, so she paid for one installment herself and she was very proud to do so. This is what prompted us to try 911 School in the first place, but it turned out to be a great experience for the police lessons discussed in class. And the driving lessons were also all positive as well.
We encountered a few minor administrative glitches in scheduling a driving session and with email communications, but they were eventually ironed out.
All in all, we would highly recommend this school.

Very good experience. Ramie who took my test was very nice. Strongly recommend this school for driving.

Really good driving school. I took the 10 classes and scheduled most of my lessons with Justin. He is a really good instructor. I didn’t drive a lot in India. The driving system and the rules in India are really different from that in in U.S. Plus, I couldn’t practice as I don’t own a car. Justin really helped me get comfortable with the car and the rules. Thanks! :)

I had a great experience with 911 driving school. It was very easy to set-​up an appointment and reschedule when I needed to. I also got a couple of reminder texts before my scheduled session which were very helpful. I had signed up for a driving lesson with Robert (who is the owner). When I started my lesson he explained very patiently and kindly the areas I needed to improve on. After the first ten minutes he recommended that I go for the test instead of continuing with the lesson. He made a very honest evaluation and encouraged me to take the test rather than sign up for more lessons.
Throughout the test he made sure I was very comfortable and did not feel any anxiety. He was very encouraging and friendly during the entire process and it did not feel like taking a test at all. That calm and encouraging demeanor of Robert helped me complete my test successfully.
This was the best experience I have had so far with the driving test process. I highly recommend Robert and 911 driving school for driving lessons and the test.

Excellent driving school… I was extremely nervous to drive the car… Then I joined this school… Robert was my teacher… He is a excellent teacher. I took 8 classes from him. He has extremely patience for his students… Finally I got my license all because of 911 driving school and now I can drive really good… I am really thankful to Robert and 911 Driving school.

I recently moved here from Canada and was daunted by both the fact of learning to drive in a different country and by driving itself (being someone who waited a while to get her license because of nerves). I signed up for their 5 lesson package and began driving with Ed, one of their instructors. Ed was fantastic! From the easy and logical way he explained things (i.e. rules of the road, how to think ahead as a driver, how to understand and react to your surroundings) to the way he chatted with you to help you learn to multitask with both driving safely and carrying a conversation with a passenger, he was an incredible teacher that made me feel safe in the car and prepared for the road. After 5 lessons, he gauged my progress and catered a few more lessons towards what I needed practice doing. I passed the driving test with ease (something I had been afraid of for years!) and am still grinning over the achievement. I would recommend Ed as an instructor (and 911 Driving School as a driving school) in a heartbeat to anyone who is learning to drive for the first time and is nervous about it! They really take you through it and set you up for success.

With no prior experience, I must admit that I was pretty nervous to take up driving. I joined the 911 driving school primarily for its convenient location. I took up the 5 one hour sessions with Ed and I was ready to take the road test by the end of the 5^th class! Ed was great as an instructor and really helped in making me confident about my driving.
I did not get my license in the first attempt though. Justin helped me with some valuable feedback on what I did wrong in my test and even coached me to correct them the same day. The key is to practice and keep practicing till you feel sure about your driving.
Ultimately, it’s all in the attitude. I’d rather be a good driver on the road than a bad one with a license. So don’t worry if you don’t get it right the first time. These guys are there to help!

I m very very happy with Robert as my instructor. He has motivated me n has really helped me in building my confidence In driving … I had a driving phobia, never wanted to learn. But now I love driving. All thanks to Robert … Best teacher

I really mean it when I say this place is the only reason I now have a driver’s license. I honestly don’t feel like I could have done it without 911 Driving School. Let me start off by saying that at 20 years old, I was still too afraid of driving. But I knew I had to learn soon, so I started doing a little research on local driving schools. I felt like 911 was the best for me in terms of location so I went with them and I’m so glad I did.
I chose the 10 lesson package and I feel for any beginner like I was, that one is the best for you. The first day I was still pretty skeeved about driving in general but my instructors (Brady & Ed) helped me through my nervousness and always gave me great feedback and explained reasons why things are done the way they are in depth. I am so grateful to have had Ed! I feel like I learned very well from him and he was super nice.
I don’t know about any other of the 911 locations, but I recommend the Redmond one to anyone who feels the need to learn to drive from scratch or maybe even to hone your skills a little more. I had a lovely experience! Thank you!

Good place! My wife take the driving classes here and passed the test as well. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. Price is also very reasonable, you can even have a warm-​up section right before the exam.

The instructor Mike there is terrible! Don’t sigh up any drive with him! He is scary and super super mean! He won’t be satisfied with ur drive, and he will yell at u a lot!
Other instructors r much better than him!

A good place to fail your driving exam twice. You might even score lower the second time just like I did. Went to another driving school and passed right away, no problem!

If you wanna fail the driving test or waste your money, you can come here. I took the driving test twice here, but i couldn’t pass. Then i changed to another driving school, i could pass without preparing before the driving test
*i saw 2 people before me couldn’t pass as well

I recently had some lessons and passed the road test with Robert at 911 driving school Redmond.
My experience with the school and instructors was nice. The lesson price is reasonable and even slightly lower than the other driving schools in this area, instructors are professional, informative, patient and helpful!
I actually had lessons with Robert and another instructor. I do prefer Robert because he doesn’t do much personal chatting while giving me lesson even it were me start the chat. So that I can focus on practice driving itself.
It’s not necessary the other instructor’s fault that I feel I didn’t improve much in that class because I were chatting and driving at the same time. I know I am a talkative person but I just prefer how Robert kept cool and claim, and it was very helpful for me.

To be concise: if you just want to take your driving test — don’t go there, better chose other location.
My wife was taking driving test here few days ago with instructor named B. Hagar (or something like this — handwriting isn’t clear).
I could understand scoring points for every mistake (even though it was dark and wet and next day in other location instructor was much more forgiving). What I cannot understand is scoring points for ideal parallel parking just because she looked into backup camera (not ‘used only backup camera’, just looked into it!). It’s dark, it’s wet, it’s a big sedan with no visibility through rear glass — and instructor still wants her to ignore backup camera and look only behind her shoulder.
Next day in other 911 location instructor called this attitude ‘weird’ and allowed use of backup camera because, for God’s sake, it was invented exactly for this purpose.
The other point is that instructor couldn’t clearly describe what exactly he wants to be done. It’s OK if person previously has taken lessons and knows what to do on test, but it’s completely not OK when person arrived from abroad and there are no previous experience with driving school.
Overall impression was that main message instructor tried to convey is «pay us money, take the lessons — and attitude will be much better».
Again, I want to emphasize — I wouldn’t think that way if next day attitude was so much better in other 911 location.

I came to Redmond to start a job. I had a license from my country and did not know if I would pass the test. I saw the school near my apartment in downtown Redmond. The cars had «Instructors are Police Officer.» I was a little intimidated. I signed up for a practice drive. My instructor was a Japanese man who works as a police officer for his regular job and teaches driving for a few hours a week. He was very humorous guy and made me very comfortable. I drove on the left side of the street in my country and when I started to drive on the wrong side the instructor calmly reminded me I was on the wrong side on the road. I guess he handles stress very easily. We laughed about it then drove around Redmond to get ready for the test.
My instructor was very interesting guy. He was an investment banker and software engineer before becoming a police officer. We talked about coding, currency and financial markets and about life in Redmond. One hour went really fast. He recommended where to eat, places for my kids to play, which schools are good in the area and many other useful information to live in Redmond for the next 2 years of my assignment. He told me the law allows me to drive on my country’s license for a year, but a state driver license is helpful with identification.
I returned a few days later and passed my driver test with ease. I have to tell the other engineers to come to this school.
