		"The materials are very thorough, progressive in learning and easy to use, not only for the student but also for the parent. What I found to be so positive is the strategic guidelines set up for the instructing parent to use for the in-vehicle training. It helps to eliminate the practice of just driving aimlessly around and completing the time requirements of the graduated licensing laws." - Deb Carlson, Minnesota Department of Public Safety
	"I felt this was an excellent program in which everything is covered (and then some)." Susan Hamilton, Eagan, Minnesota "Excellent. Very helpful in how to communicate effectively with your teen. The audio & video tapes gave clear instructions and demonstrations." Florence Mundt, Utica, Minnesota
"What I liked the best about the curriculum was how each new chapter included a little review of what was covered in the previous chapter. This helped me to maintain all the materials I learned throughout the course of my studies." - Rachel Lea Dickinson, Pelican Rapids, Minnesota "Excellent. I liked the program for its thoroughness. The flexibility of going at our own pace was wonderful." L.L., Ham Lake, Minnesota
