I registered for driver training in the summer of 2015.  As other reviewers have said, there is a mandatory in-class session which comes about 2 months prior to ever getting to be in a car for hands-on learning.  The classroom session is basically a review of material you would need to pass your learner's exam as well as some AMA propaganda to buy into their insurance post "graduation".  I was set up with an East Indian woman for my in-car instruction.  When I was texted regarding a time for my in-car sessions, my instructor was not flexible at all regarding times to meet up.  I was working and a university student and she expected me to be available in the middle of the day which seemed pretty ridiculous.  On our first day she informed me that she had two masters degrees but preferred to teach driving because she "cared about her students".  Before we even began driving she began to look at the package I had bought and informed me that I should really buy the package with more lessons in it (more $$$).  I told her I cannot financially afford that (these lessons were already nearing $1000). When she demonstrated techniques she was extremely curt and did not reiterate anything.  When I began driving I was very nervous and she started yelling at me.  She began verbally berating be throughout the two sessions I attended and telling me I "needed more practice," "needed to be an aggressive driver", and that I absolutely had to sign up for more lessons (she was stuck on this idea after I told her several times I am not in the financial position to do so).  She was literally pulling over the car mid-session to give me a spiel about why I needed to buy more lessons which was wasting instructional time and was not at all helpful to me, especially given that I had told her several times I would not be able to afford these lessons.  When asking about affording the lessons she also began to ask leading questions about who I lived with and what my living situation was like which I found very intrusive and unprofessional.  I also want to mention that throughout our two sessions she kept making reference to "other students" who had over 200 hours of practice time and who were apparently much better than me.  There were other unprofessional moments throughout our lessons, such as when she had me pull into a 7/11 so she could go pee.  I'm sorry but when I am paying $100 for an hour of driving with you - I don't think it's appropriate to take a 10-minute break at 7/11, hold it.  This woman was not interested in teaching in any sense of the word, she was there to collect an easy paycheque for driving around and verbally abusing her students.  During our second (and ultimately final) lesson she had taken 30 seconds to show me how to parallel park.  Actually 30 seconds - I am not exaggerating here.  She was racing through the instructions and when I began to park following her directions she started yelling "no what did I say!?!"  I told her what she had said and that I was following her directions.  She continued to be extremely aggressive and negative.  I became very upset after our second session and returned home in tears.  A family member had to call AMA for me to explain the situation because I was too emotional to do so.  A manager there eventually offered a refund after trying to get me to sign up with a different instructor, I told him I was over the entire experience and did not need the stress.  He made it sound as if this trainer would be reprimanded for her behaviour while in the car, however, over a year later and she is still working there in direct contact with students.  I am extremely disappointed in AMA and would warn others to stay far, far, FAR away from their services.
