Leonid Ivanov, Thank you very much for your hard work, patience, attentive attitude and always a good mood during driving lessons. You are not only an excellent instructor, but also a very kind and sincere person! I was glad to learn how to drive, it was from you! I wish you good health and patience in your hard work!
I studied for retraining from B to A category.
1. Sign up for classes only on Sunday!!! If you haven't signed up or want to make an additional appointment during the week, FORGET ABOUT IT (although they say that you can sign up with an instructor, in fact this is not the case!!! The director sends to the instructor, he goes to the director).
2. No ONE WILL SHOW OR TELL you ANYTHING while driving - the lesson lasts 1 hour - of which the motorcycle cools down for 15 minutes.... If something doesn't work out for you, the instructor's answer is "I won't teach you how to keep your balance." He spends the whole lesson on the phone. I never clocked the time on one of the elements (as a result, a third was not handed over to the traffic police, because they did not meet the time).
3. During the delivery to the traffic police, only 1 motorcycle was brought (allegedly few people (18)) That's enough for you. For comparison, other motorcycle schools brought 4 each, regardless of how many people rent. NO ONE HAS ROLLED OUT ALL THEIR CLASSES.
4. In the first change, 6 out of 18 people passed!!!!. We passed 3 out of 12 on the retake!!!! This already says a lot about this organization.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT INTERESTED IN YOU PASSING AT ALL.
IF YOU WANT TO THROW MONEY AWAY, YOU ARE DEFINITELY IN THE LEAD!!!!!
I chose the Leader because of the online format of theoretical classes. Maybe this is less effective, but convenient and can be compensated by enhanced self-study, in any case, I managed to pass all the tests and exams the first time. The practical classes were conducted by Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Yudchenko - a balanced, professional, humorous, in a good sense, "clear" and "even" instructor, in some frames he can adjust to your schedule, scold where necessary, praise where necessary, in general, I can recommend. The car got caught - Volkswagen Polo, in excellent condition. It was not possible to roll back all the allotted time (22 classes out of 24), because I could only after work (not earlier than 17), I recommend in such cases to choose the advanced driving option with priority (I took only the advanced one). As for the 50 hours of practice required under the contract, there is a tricky calculation, from every hour 10 minutes are allocated for documentation, plus either 1 hour or 30 km, of course everything will be pretty approximate and hardly in your favor, I suspect that this is the case in any driving school in the country and not only ours. As for the final price, I ended up with about 1100. In general, the school is quite normal, in any case, it met my expectations, however, I am not demanding, I avoid conflict to a certain extent, those who were looking for it and wanted to find fault - found something, sometimes perhaps even justly. But, in the context of the full conditions of the existence of driving schools, I think that it cannot be otherwise, at the moment, in any situation everyone does as it is easier for him, the question is whether the conditions allow it.
