The scammers are charging money for a digital download of the certificate!!! Are they crazy? Shameful and bad business practice, this hidden fee was not disclosed earlier.

I wish I had read the previous reviews prior to buying the course. OMG, horrible horrible horrible experience, the platform, the training material, the worst. AVOID IT.

terrible company. locked me out, then did not respond to chat or phone calls. worst of all, I now have to pay AGAIN. a waste of time and money. i should have read

I thought the course was ok until the next day, when i did some research to verify what they taugtet. They said in nys, a driver has to stop for 3 seconds at a stop sign. That is not true. What a driver must do, according to nysdmv is come to a full and complete stop. I don’t appreciate the course instructor lying about nys law. And if he wasn’t lying because this is what he wishes the law to be, which is possible, get rid of m.l. (Instructor initials) and hire someone who will not mislead people paying money for this course. How dare you? Another thing this instructor said was something about the cannabis law and driving. This person said that if you’re a user of cannabis, the drug will stay in your system for 3 or 4 days. If an officer tests you, you could go to jail for driving under the influence do to that test. My research shows that a user of cannabis, which is legal in nys, should wait 6 hours before driving. Otherwise, nys might as well not have legalized it, if a driver has to wait 3 days to drive. Apparently, this may actually be true (just did more research). So then i ask nys: why legalize if it’s not legal to drive 3 days later? Also, at the end of the course, but not before the six hours are up that you paid for, is the request to complete an evaluation of the instructor. I don’t take surveys, so i asked the instructor on the side if this was voluntary, and got the answer of yes. Because i didn’t fill that out, i was the third person out of there. My comment is, i don’t have the desire or the time to spend making your company better by rating you. You could have at least included it as part of the 6 hours. Everyone else sat there filling out the paper, as if they worked for the company, because that’s what they were doing-working for the company; for free, no less. To the instructor’s credit, that person did mention that another thing said would not be found in the driver book. Meaning that it was this person’s opinion that it was the safest thing to do, but it wasnt the law. You shoukd have done that about your stop sign statement. I don’t appreciate being lied to.

The American Safety Council is a sham, in my opinion. Their course material is amateurishly written, the web site is painfully cumbersome, and they are impossible to communicate with. My account was locked and I have been trying to reach them for two business days. They do not repsond to their chat system. They don't answer their customer support phone number. And finally, their internal messaging system reports an internet error 404 (directoery not found) and the message will not send. I suggest using AARP or a more reputable service.

Stay away!! They will scam you after wasting 3 hours of ur time saying you need to pay again cuz you've been locked out.. thieves!

DO NOT USE THIS COURSE PROVIDER!! I selected this provider, paid $142.00 for the online course and book. Didn’t get the book for 3 weeks and had to call them (which is no easy feat). I started going through the course and the online material is poor quality and often differs from the state required book. I completed my 60 hours of material and went to do some practice tests only to get a message that the tests had EXPIRED. I never took one single practice test throughout the whole class! I called them only to be told I’d have to pay and additional $79 to access. I decided to just take the final test and failed by 2 points. I studied what I got wrong on the first test and took it a second time. I passed but in reviewing the test at least 8 questions I absolutely knew I selected the correct answer on this test were wrong again. I believe there is some kind of glitch in their tests. I am called the Florida Department of Financial Services today to let them know the experience and problems I’ve had with this provider. Florida should NOT be listing them as a pre-course provider! This is my 3rd insurance license and I’ve used 2 other course providers. All more expensive but we’ll worth it after my experience with the American Safety Council!

While Customer Service tried to be helpful, software was buggy and locked up often quiz given during voice verification. Locked with only option to pay again. Seems to be a scam
