Evergreen Driving School

I went to Evergreen driving school to get my drivers license and while I did learn the information about driving I did not enjoy my time there. The teacher made the class hard to stay alert and made you feel bad if you got an answer to one of his questions wrong. What really pushed me over was when we had to change a tire. He had all of the boys change the tire and then when I (I am a girl and was the only girl who got asked to change the tire) was done cranking he had a male check it to see if it was on right. He also made a comment that said «for you girls, if you ever need to change a tire call someone for help or get an electronic thing to use.» Also during my drives I was constantly stressed because he would make rude comments and would sometimes yell. It was not just the teacher that made this experience difficult. The people working there were very disorganized and for some reason you couldn’t schedule a drive during the weekends which was the only time I could. I also thought that I had taken my final driving test but it turned out to be a practice test that they made you have to pass in order to take the real one. Overall, I would not suggest to go to this driving school.

I took this motorcycle course about a year ago, and failed the test. I’m giving them 5 stars because they tried their damndest to get me roadworthy, and I just wasn’t ready. Since then, I spent the next 6 months riding (on my permit) and practicing, and this weekend I passed the skills test with a perfect score, 100% (the only one in my class).
I since moved to Lynnwood, so I chose a different school for my 2^nd test, and I’m here to tell you the classes are all the same. You have classroom time, and riding time, and they do their best to get you prepared.
The instructors at Evergreen are AWESOME, especially the big brash dude whose name I can’t remember right now. All in all a good experience, and I’m just here to thank them for not passing me, as I wouldn’t want to be on the road with me a year ago ;)

This weekend I took my BRC class. Our instructors Jim and Ernie where absolutely awesome!!! The class was very informative and their coaching what spot on no matter what the riders skill level was. Anyone looking to get endorsed I would suggest this class.

I really liked the instructors and what the school provided me. I was never able to get my license in the past. So, I went and took the beginners course one weekend and was able to pass the exam on Sunday. I liked it so much and went back Tuesday to attend the intermediate class. Both gave me confidence to start riding.
On the first course, I had 2 instructors.
On the 2^nd, I had one only, a guy who was an ex-​cop. Very fun chap ! He recommended me to get a bike and start riding around my block. And as I was getting confidence, to go around 2 blocks. I did this for a week. After that, I started going farther and farther away. Now I am going up to 20 miles in my rides.
Great school, great instructors, very patient and I had a lot of fun there.

Came here to take my written and drive tests and I have to say I’m happy I took my tests here. I bought the package where you get the warm up drive then take the test immediately after. Jesse was my tester and he was great. This guy has an incredibly calming voice and is great at teaching you basic maneuvers. All in all I had a good experience and would recommend anyone to take their drive test here.

This place really deserves more of a 2.5 Stars. For starters — its not a cheap course. $ 250 per person for a two day (weekend) class. Its really designed for people who have never ridden before in their life. A portion of the day is spent in class watching old videos of «scenarios» to look out for and a little bit of discussion of different bike types and parts of a motorcycle. The other portion of the class is outside in an enclosed lot no more than 40 — 50 years square. Each person gets to hop on a standard style motorcycles and a few dual sports. Which to me is already a downer because my girlfriend and I had bought crotch rockets and was hoping to learn on something more similar to it.
I’ve ridden before so i knew the basic concepts and understood how to ride and the functioning of the bike. This class goes thru the utmost basic controls for someone who has never done so. I was expecting more «safety» education. What to do in real world situations. Practice how to avoid certain situations and how to react when you do get into those situations.
However we were taught how to just ride the motorcycle. The second day involved more video watching and more seat time on how to ride and learning basic maneuvering skills. There wasn’t much on road safety, rules of the road, or how to avoid common situations.
All in all — I think its over priced for what you get IF you already know how to ride. If you have zero clue what you’re doing — its worth the time but I can’t say its worth the money. You can save it by practicing in a parking lot on your own. As far as the safety videos they did show… youtube provides more up to date examples.

Customer service very rude. When I called to ask them — do they provide private lessons, woman on the phone started to yelling on me. I shocked :((

Don’t waste your money if you want training this is not the place for that– come to the class trained before hand
