NO. The classes (beginner and advanced classes) will teach you how to stunt drive for film and TV. There are many skills and prerequisites that are required to become a stunt performer, any stunt performer will tell you that it is a constant training and learning process. What this course is designed to do it teach you the rudimentarily skills required to become a professional stunt driver. As with any profession, it takes constant training and commitment and allot of hustling on your part to be able to realistically consider yourself a "PROFESSIONAL STUNT PERFORMER". There are however, those who call themselves "stunt performers" but they are not recognized by many in the profession as being "professionals"
NO. Our driving team is drawn from our past students, but this does not guarantee that you will get work. This is a school not a hiring agency and thus we teach drivers in the art of vehicle control, precision driving and stunt driving. We do keep your particulars on file at our office (if you request it) and should we be asked if we know anyone that can driver that looks like..., them we would submit the names and contact numbers of any person (s) that match that description and have the skills requested. that's as far as we go in terms of "getting you work of any kind".

NO. We will teach you to drive but it is up to you to pursue your career and employment in the film industry. You can feel free to ask other classmates for tips and or advice but it is up to you to take charge of your career.
What is the point in taking your classes if it doesn't guarantee work... ?
The reason this school was formed was to help drivers become even better drivers. whether you are a professional full time stunt person or a new driver, you will ultimately learn better vehicle control which is the basis of safe driving, whether it be on the road of a small town in middle America or sliding sideways at 50 miles per hour towards another car or actor/stunt person. you will become a better driver and have stronger driving skills. The fact that many of the best stunt drivers in the industry from all over America, Canada, Australia, and Europe frequently return to sharpen their driving skills every year says allot about our school and our training program.

We feel that the best advertising is word of mouth. Since the school has opened we have had inquiries and bookings for our courses from as far away as Australia, Europe, Hong Kong and Japan. Over the years we have have had people contact us from all over wanting to register for the training and when we ask how they heard of us they say either a friend, read about us on the internet newsgroups, seen our school on the television stories done on us or read about us in one of the magazines that have don stories on us. The school was formed at the request of stunt performers in the film and television industry to teach them to become better drivers and has grown from there. We have had over 450+ from all over come just to learn how to stunt / precision drive alone.
What is the training like... ?
The training is quite intensive it begins early in the morning and ends in the late afternoon. Many students tell us that they go back to their hotels exhausted and and "shower then collapse until the next morning." The training is both physically and mentally demanding while at the same time fun and adventurous , (not to mention a bit of a rush).
