"Having gone through the
embarrassment and humiliation of being arrested and
sentenced for a first time DUI, I was sentenced to 20
hours on the Georgia Risk Reduction Program. In my
searches I found the
Mr. Allen [who is known as
"Ace" Allen] is one of the best instructors I have ever
encountered, his knowledge and technique is as
interesting as it is valuable. I was also surprised to
find myself in an atmosphere well accepted by the other
students, something I thought wasn't possible, and was
in the back of my mind as I am nearly 50 years of age.
The other students were as intrigued by some of the
information as I was and Mr. Allen's occasional
side-lined stories helped smooth out the course and made
the evenings and weekend sail through what would
otherwise seem slow, dreary, depressing studies.
At the end of the course,
I walked away feeling I actually learned something
valuable, and had felt better about my experience [and
about myself] thanks to "Ace" and the school program.
To Ace, Amber and the staff of Allen Driving, I say
thanks for your help and support."
"I feel our family owes you a big "thank you". If
you accomplished nothing else over the past week
end, you, somehow, gave us back our wonderful
daughter and sister, Donna. This is a most difficult
time for Donna, and in trying to help her, we caused
more aggravation and hurt. The conversation I had
with her on Sunday evening opened my eyes and I pray
that in the future, I can be the Mother she needs.
Any suggestions you might have would be welcome."
"He was very personable and easy to talk to. Ace had his own experiences that really touched my life (Great person). . .I actually looked forward to coming to class . . . Enjoyable, pleasant, honest, can be yourself. . . After seeing you (Ace) in your video, a lot of the way I saw you changed. Don't get me wrong, I thought you were cool as hell at first, but now you are cool as hell with a heck of a lot of respect from me. Thank you for your insight and wisdom. . ." "When I walked in was expecting a technical boring class. He kept everyone involved with his information; had good explanation of class materials. . ." (I would rate the classroom GREAT) "Relaxed atmosphere. Ace has the place that is DUI friendly." "Ace is very knowledgeable and able to relate the class information across the broad range of the people attending the class. Ace presents very well, and course material was very well arranged. . . Amber is very pleasant to deal with and enrolling was a snap." (The instructor) "made it clear that he doesn't tell people what to do, but gives them information". (The most important part of the class was) "learning about trigger levels and seeing the experiences of other people. . . The objects around the room made it interesting." "Very informative and (Ace) made the course interesting as well. The class style was relaxed which made it easy to have an open discussion. (The office staff was) "very helpful and friendly when I came in to ask - explained the entire process clearly." "Very knowledgeable, responded to questions and kept a class interesting with personal experience. . . Answered all personal questions prior to assessment. . . I would recommend this school for anyone even if not required by law for drugs and alcohol." "Subjects well explained - all questions answered . . . Class was very well conducted with a great variety of information. . . Ace was a great instructor and the class was informative - entertaining and very relaxing. I enjoyed myself when I thought I would dread being here. Great job. Thanks!!!" "The instructor's knowledge of the material was 1st rate. The instructor's use of visual aids and experiences were helpful in relating to the material. The instructor maintained order in the classroom while presenting a relaxed atmosphere. As a student, it is nice to have an instructor who is passionate about the subject they teach . . . " (The most important part of the class was) "I think the last day where the instructor presented a video of an accident where the instructor was actually a victim in the accident. His 1st hand experience was educational." (published as written) "Hello ace, hope you are doing well, i just wanted to give you a personal thanks for helping all of us in the class this weekend. I wish you could help my roommate, He is about 65 he drinks and smokes, coughs up a storm. I have said something to him befour. He knows that i go to First baptist of Woodstock. I drive the green troolley at 12pm till 1pm. if you ever want to visit us . Also that was a blessing that the lord is using you to touch all those people aout the, and also spared your life, on that Holcomb bride road accident. I will keep you in touch, i will try to stop by to see you from time to time. I will keep you and your buisnee in my prayers. and thanks for being our instructor, you did a great job. thanks Jeff" "I was very apprehensive about coming to this court mandated class, but your lightheartedness made a bad situation a little bit more tolerable. . . The class was taught in a very professional manner but the atmosphere was very relaxed, casual, and fun (if going to court mandated class on the early hours of Saturday and Sunday can be called fun). . . Thanks Ace for being there for us." "Mr. Allen was informative and knowledgeable on every subject and was able to answer all of my questions. What could have turned out to be a very boring four days turned into something that I looked forward to going to every day. I though I knew a lot about my addiction but I learned things I did not know and I can't thank you enough. . . I left with a good feeling about my future and myself and I think it is because he touched on a wide variety of subjects and did not concentrate on just the effects of drinking and driving. . ." ". . . this was a great class and I am honestly glad that I came (not just to the class but to this one). And, it's probably fair to say that most of the people in this class feel the same way. . . You have a solid and clear understanding of the importance of recognizing the potential consequences of not making wise decisions and you express a genuine concern for all of us that really made this course not only bearable, but enjoyable. . . It's been a pleasure meeting you and please take care!" "I want to thank you for conducting the DUI course. It was excellent. I only wish I could have taken it before the arrest. I feel certain that the way the class was conducted, it would have been a deterrent. Again, many thanks." "Taking your class was the best thing I have ever done. You connected with each of us on a different level. I appreciate the time you took to explain your comments. I hope that all of your future students feel the same way. If you see me again, it will be on the good side of the law." cert. #9020 |
