American Safety Council Reviews 

I attended a course to acquire OSHA certification. However, in the period in which the delivery should have taken place, I was no longer in the States and I asked if it was possible to have the certificate itself delivered to some of my colleagues still present in the States. I was told they couldn't do it, they couldn't ship it to Italy, even at my expense. In short, I paid to have this certificate and I can't get it. Shameful.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!! I wish I had read these reviews before wasting my money and time on this course. The website IS NOT user friendly. The videos lag and skip around, and I feel like this is done on purpose. If you don’t answer the questions in a timely manner, you fail the question. Three fails and you are locked out and have to reregister and PAY AGAIN. It’s impossible to answer correctly and in a timely manner when the website doesn’t load properly. The course screen is tiny and impossible to read. There is so much wasted space on the screen and the course screen could be much bigger. Some of the sections are 45 minutes or longer. God forbid you have to pause for more than a few minutes because then you have to go back and start from the very beginning. I am very disappointed in this course and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND it to anyone!!!

Extremely poor customer service. Do not take your defensive driving course with this company. Trust me, you will loose your money.

If I can give this zero star I would. What a scam this company is if you even call it that.

I am not one of their employees putting up a good review. I am very satisfied with these guys..I sat though my course, answered all the questions with no prob.
After I passed each one of the sections it gave me the final exam. Passed with 90. It gave me the option to print out my cert. Downloaded the certificate and printed it out. I did not see where it stated they would send my cert to me. But in all I gave them 5, make sure that you had the option to print or download the cert.
Good luck to you all, hope you are able to get help.

Waste of money. They lock you out of account when you fail quizzes and you have to re register. When I asked for a refund I was denied!

DO NOT USE this company!!!!!! They DO NOT respond to any calls, chats or anything. My daughter took the online course and then driver's portion elsewhere. This company would not respond for the transfer certificate and now she has to start all over again. Horrible, fraudulent company.

I paid $25 and started taking the 6 hour course with NY Safety Council. Almost halfway through (about 2 hours in), when answering the quiz question (you must answer 1 of 3 correctly), I answered the first 2 incorrectly and before I could answer the third, the screen showed that I had incorrectly answered it and locked me out of the course. It took 45 minutes for the Chat person to respond, and then another 4-5 minutes between each response. Finally was told that I had to re-register...period. When I tried to clarify about repayment and ask about the problem with the 3rd question for which I was improperly shut out, there was no response. After 10 minutes I left the website without any recourse but to pay another $25 to retake the entire course. I went to another site, IDriveSafely.com. Took the course without a glitch. Seems like I am joining many others in warning about this site. Wish I had read the reviews before signing up with this awful company.

I took the Defensive Driving course in 2020 with no problems. I enrolled again in February 2023 anticipating the same service. My experience did not go well and I spent multiple frustrating hours waiting for Customer Service chat to respond. First issue was I was locked out of course due to voice authentication, second issue: after the final quiz, the program kept spooling back to the quiz review. Although it said I had completed the course, it did not send me to the completion screen with my certificate.
I attempted to contact them via Chat (waste of time), then email (they only responded when I resolved to refute their charges on my credit card) and finally, mailed them a letter via USPS to their Florida office, again mentioning I would dispute their charge.
Their course is excellent, their customer service is abysmal. I hope the American Safety Council will correct this problem ASAP. When 2026 comes around, I'd like to take their course again, but will check these reviews prior to enrolling.

This website could have been very good. The course material was excellent. But the customer service was non existent. Kicked out of session after 2!/2 hours for a security question error. No way to get back in. No chat response and no phone call response.

SCAM. No Customer service. Wish I had read these reviews prior to paying. Funny there was no problem paying or registering though..DO NOT USE this . Plenty of other reputable courses. I was able to complete all modules, passed all tests, completed all biometric security along the way including the 100 ridiculous security questions. I received a message saying congratulations on completing. That’s when the course froze , refused to allow me to advance. Locked me out after three days of trying to contact them. Tried chat 10 x, always received connection error, no response to emails or calling the 4 different customer service numbers. Never left a bad review for any company before but this is the worst. I will be contacting NYState safety driver to drop their association as well as the other business associations listed. Six hour course, now we’ll passed 12 hours in trying to resolve.

Horrible lying company. Took them over a month to send the Mature Driver Improvement Certificate, although it doesn't say a word that it will take that long on their site. Plus, there's a ton of other companies out there that does it for much cheaper. Save your money and go with a reputable company, not these BOZOS!

I have been trying for over 10 days to get back into my account as it was locked due to a biometrics validation error. The Safety Council claims that it offers 24/7 service which is a lie - as it does not. I have tried to contact the council by chat, email and phone with no success. I have wasted my money and my time as my 30 day window will expire in a few days. This organization is not accredited by the BBB and I can see why. I would absolutely not recommend using this council to anyone.

Completed the course and no one has sent me a certificate. No one answers the phone. No one answers the Live Chat. RIDICULOUS and FRUSTRATING... wish I could give "0" stars. AVOID at all Costs!!

My son completed and pass the Joshua's law in July 2022 and we still have not received the certificate which should have been emailed in 2-3 business days per the email confirmation. I have called, emailed, and reached out via chat support and no response. FRAUD!

This business deserves negative star if I could. Absolute dogsh*t of a service. I've been trying to reach customer service for 2 days and no one replied. They locked me out of my account because their biometrics don't work and it's impossible to get in touch with any one. Their "wait time" for the chat options was 19 minutes but I stayed on between noon and 9pm without anyone assisting. AVOID THIS SCAM SITE!

THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM! MY SON TOOK THE COURSE, PASSED BUT NEVER RECEIVED A CERTIFICATE. DOES NOT ANSER PHONE CALLS, DOES NOT ANSWER CHAT OR EMAILS.
***DON NOT USE** I NOW HAVE TO FILE A FRAUD REPORT WITH MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY FOR THE CHARGES.

I finished the course, and then was instructed to resume again. That was after I had passed. They had my credit card and all my security information. They will not supply any information about getting the certificate. I tried calling them 25 times and no one answers the phone. Their chat doesn’t work. They don’t respond to emails. I’m stuck. Looks like this is a scam. I needed the certificate. Very disappointed.

If I could give zero stars I would. All I have to say is use another site for your child to accomplish the Joshua's law course. 1: Its a timed slide show and actually takes around 45 hrs to complete versus the standard 30hrs. 2: They wont send your certificates in 1-2 days as they claim. 3: Calling or messaging through their chat so far I've been on hold for over 1h30min and on chat hold for over 30 mins. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!

Signed up for the NY Defensive Driver online course.

Course wouldn’t complete after the last section, no response after attempting to open multiple chat sessions, no response to phone inquiry, no response to multiple email requests for assistance.
In short, customer service is non-existent, and it is impossible to resolve any issues with the course.
