I took the online 6 hour course in one day. It was easy, interactive, informative, convenient, and kept my attention. I actually learned a few things. I found the Dr. Phil videos to be interesting to watch as well. Highly recommended as a way to reduce your insurance bill.

In light of Covid and the need to social distancing I opted for the virtual course this time. Reaching out to Thomas he provided clear and concise direction towards the online course. The course was very well put together and engaging; incorporating not only text, but videos clips as well as interactive questions and of course quizzes. It flowed smoothly and helpful to note it is possible, if needed, to pause and then return to where you left off (saving what you have already done).This was a good alternative considering the current environment however next time I will opt for the in person course with Thomas as his personal experiences and humor actually make this course fun.

Thomas S said the course is simple and easy to navigate through, of course I doubted him but to my surprise it was just as easy as he explained it. This was a great experience for me and I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends when it’s their time to take the course.Thanks Tom for making life that much easier 👍

It is a privilege to write a review and testimonial about an outstanding six hour defensive, driving program that my husband and I took with Thomas Sottile! We have taken this program multiple times throughout the years, and it always was an endurance test, with a lack of anything concrete or intrinsic that we could take away from the experience. Mr. Sottile was informative, entertaining, interesting, interactive, and created a positive environment in which everyone was eager to participate.  In his thoroughness to cover all of the material needed, he still was able to apply anecdotes and relevant situations to each of the individuals in the group. The question answer interactions were very helpful and applicable to each person's needs. His classroom management created an environment where everybody had equal opportunity to participate in no one dominated the floor. We look forward to taking another course with Mr. Sottile in the near future And for years to come.
5/5
Thomas is the most professional and dedicated instructor that I have worked with, nobody I know is more knowledgeable about "rules of the road ". I will never miss an opportunity to refer my clients to Thomas. Take his course, you WILL learn something valuable about driving regardless of your age and skills behind the wheel. I have been educating people about their auto insurance for 35+ year and still learn from his courses.
5/5
Thomas was the Instructor for a Defensive Driving class I took. He has excellent teaching skills and his approach to the training made the class very entertaining. He goes beyond what is in the training material to give a great learning experience.

5/5
Thomas is an incredible teacher and fantastic in his ability to keep a class engaged about a topic that most people come into expecting 6 hours of monotonous droning. Thomas is exactly the opposite of that, incentivizing students to participate in discussions and providing examples and anecdotes from his own life experiences. Thomas really cares about making the road a safer place for all drivers and his drive and passion for the topic is very apparent. I'd recommend his class to any company or school looking to bring more awareness to driving safety.
