Pros

They have a great training program that will give you everything you need before taking both your written and skills test. They provided the skills test, you had to go the DMV to take the written exam. They really prepared me and had me feeling confident. It was so worth it.

Cons

Training was not paid. You have to pay for your license to sit for the written test.
