Statistics show that traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among teens in New Mexico and we plan to help change that, one student at a time. We don't want to push someone through programming just to satisfy their desire to get a license.We believe it is essential to work together with parents and guardians to give teens practice and real life experiences.Everyone has different needs and we work to provide each student with an individualized approach to driving instruction. We are committed to treating everyone with respect and honesty, giving quality customer service! Each student will partake in the State required 30 hours of classroom training and 7 hours of behind-the-wheel training.

Report
Through lecture, videos, guest speakers and team activities the 30 hours of classroom training will thoroughly explain the fundamentals of operating a motor vehicle. Students will learn and become familiar with street signals and signs. Students will also be taught how to prevent a crash, what to do in emergency situations, how to drive in adverse weather conditions, how to check vehicle maintenance and much more.
Behind-the-Wheel Training
Report
Behind-the-wheel training will begin once the student has received their Learner's Permit. This training includes 7 hours of private driving with one of our certified instructors. Students will practice and gain experience in residential driving, low traffic, heavy traffic, and interstate driving, turning, backing up, parking, understanding and reading street signs and traffic signals, and much more. Our goal is to prepare each student as much as we can so they will feel confident and knowledgeable on the road.

Used to be ok, now they are terrible. All 3 of my kids went there. First child, it wasn't too bad; good customer service, got all her drive times with no problem; worth the higher cost. Second child it took almost a year to get drive times, and one of the drive instructors was a creep. Now, they are awful. Unable to get any drive times (no drive instructors employed there, maybe 1 or 2).
Out of the 20-30 times I've called, I've ctual reached someone less than 5 times. I'll leave voice-mail with no return calls. Twice we showed up when we finally got a drive time, the instructor was a no-show. Waited at least 30-40min each time. Then we've had 2 drive times cancelled on us. Apparently there is no manager or owner to talk to, because I have requested to speak to one, and no return call. NOT WORTH THE HIGHER COST!
You definitely don't get what you pay for! Go somewhere cheaper, that way if you get this same kind of service, at least you didn't lose out on an extra $100 or so. The owner/manager should step up and help out with the drive times. That's what a good owner does.

Right now we are unhappy. First it took 3 weeks to get paperwork back for learners permit and they blamed the state but our friend's son, who took a class 2 weeks later at a different school, was driving with a permit before my son. Then we had to wait weeks to begin scheduling driving classes and they only allow it once a month so weeks go by again because of the first delay.
Then their scheduling system breaks down and you cannot log in for days. Then some people can log in but we cannot because their system is still broken and all the good times are gone to schedule driving practice. I'm waiting for a call from the owner to see how things go. Maybe they will make this right and I can change my review. We shall see. My account still does not work to log into the scheduling site.

If your looking for a driver's education course that is going to prepare your child to actually drive dont send them to Premiere. My daughter attended the course in June and now 3 months later she has only gotten 2 of her 7 driving hours. The online schedule to book drive time says N/A on every single day. We called and emailed the office and finally got the 3rd hour scheduled but when we showed up there was another child scheduled so she was unable to drive.
I called the office on Monday (theres no way to get ahold of them if there is a problem over the weekend) and I was told they have no more drive time for the rest of September. Its Sept 17th. We have to wait for October schedule to open. My daughter has already driven over 30 hours with me since she attended driving school but with Premiere she drove in a parking lot for one hour and residential area the second hour.
If she doesn't get the required 7 hours with the school she cant get her provisional liscense. I thought the point of a driver's education course was to educate and teach the student how to drive which Premiere did not do. Adding into my review. It is Oct 2nd and Premier said we could schedule 4 hours. We did that and they cancelled one of her hours.
My daughter will also have had her permit for 6 months in December. So they are still pushing us off. It's nice that some student finish in a few months but that is not the case for us. I have contacted the office during business hours and there is no answer.

This place is extremely unorganized. The 7 hours of driving is extremely hard to schedule. The scheduling site always states to try back later. When you call the office they refer you to the site. They don't document important info like fee waivers. You're charged a fee if you cancel less than 24 hours in advance but if the driver cancels they have "no control over it!" The device sucks! Over priced. Spend you money elsewhere.

BEWARE of their prices! They claim a "buddy" discount of $20, which they say will bring the price down to $295. What they DON'T tell you is that they will charge you for the road test, the computer test, and tax on top of it all. It will end up costing you $380 even with the "buddy" discount! They are also the same owners of all the "MVD NOW"s. Need I say more? All they care about is making $$$$. Think twice!

The BEST driving school in Albuquerque. You will never regret for the last penny you spend in this place. Trust me I've been to mostly all the places in Albuquerque I've choose this place over I'm happy for my decision. If you going here see Kim at the front desk she's always helping if you going for road PAT is the best of best he is old school but best teacher if you have to wait to get him teach it's worth waiting
