I took the full course package for class one driving in September / October of 2013 and couldn't recommend a better opportunity. Stepping into the drivers seat of one of their trucks for your first time is an nerve racking and exciting experience, and they make it very easy. The instructors are experienced and will teach you how to drive defensively, confidently, an efficiently. There is a lot of demand for skilled truck drivers and by the time you are done this course, you'll definitely have had all the tools and training necessary to be one.
It didn't take me long to find a good, well paying job after getting my license through Parkway Driving Academy and it's been a smooth ride ever since. I'd very much recommend the program.
Cheers, and drive safe! Read Less

GOOD FOR YOU PARKWAY !!!!!
It's about time someone said something to those idiot bicyclists that ride on the highway in that corridor between Stewart Ave. and Northfield Rd. , I guess they figure that if they're wearing spandex and a bike helmet , it gives them the right to become a seriously dangerous obstruction to the highways . Maybe if they did their homework they'd know that they are NOT permitted on the highway southbound between Northfield Rd. and Stewart Ave. and Northbound between Stewart Ave. and Princess Royal Ave . Instead of commenting on what they THINK they know about the rules and regulations of the Motor Vehicle Act of B.C and/or the Highway and Transportation Act , or even the Nanaimo city by-laws for that matter . And hey , did they ever wonder why we spent so much money on that beautiful E&N trail ? I personally think they shouldn't be permitted on highway 19a all the way from Mostar Rd. to Stewart Ave simply because of the E&N trail . So I'm glad to hear that your Instructors DO know the rules of the road and that they are teaching their students correctly . Kudos to you Parkway Driving Academy , keep up the good work. Read Less

Today I witnessed a Parkway Driving Academy driving instructor aggressively honk at a cyclist, pass him at an unsafe distance, then yell "This is a road, not a bike lane". As far as I could tell the cyclist was abiding by all obvious laws - he was brightly marked and was wearing a helmet as required by law, he was quite visible and was riding as near to the curb as possible. Under the Motor Vehicle Act of B.C. the cyclist had every right to be where he was and you'd think that a DRIVING INSTRUCTOR would know something as basic as which vehicles are permitted to be on the road.Read Less

The staff are awesome from the moment you walk in the door. Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. They are serious about teaching you how to drive safely. The instructors are top notch and will help the most nervous people relax and enjoy the experience of learning. I took Class #1 training with Parkway and would recommend them highly to anyone wanting to obtain any kind of driver training. Read Less
