I just passed my road test today. I must say First rate driving school is an excellent training institution. right from the experience in class with Sean to the road practice with instructors. My profound appreciation to Meagan, my road practice instructor. I only went out on the road about 3 times with her before I had my road test and my confidence, and knowledge base on the road not to mention safety consciousness, grew exponentially. If you enrol with these guys, if its possible you wanna insist Meagan as your instructor. am sure they have other great instructors as well but from my experience she is the standard for an excellent tutor. Its not just about passing the actual road test because I could do same test and a different scenario on the road would have failed me, but Its the quality of her training, patience and how Meagan makes you comfortable on the wheels before the actual test that makes her exceptional. Also much appreciation to Sean who is the in class trainer. I must say teaching isn't about having knowledge but also being able to pass that knowledge adequately and Sean is the best at it. keep up the good work Meagan and Sean... it was a rewarding experience enrolling with First rate.

I just passed my road test today and I wanted to give a shout out to Megan and Shawn. Shawn is an amazing classroom teacher and quite funny and fair. He made going to class every Saturday interesting and without him, I wouldn't know any of the rules of driving. Megan is an amazing instructor to go driving around with for your driving hours. She's kind, but sarcastic at the same time which I appreciated because it was my exact kind of humor. After I was done my driving hours, i told her that I wasn't ready yet, so she offered to take me out driving a few more times free of charge which I really appreciated. Thank you First Rate Driver.

I took full lessons from First Rate Driver. The classroom sessions are very informative and detailed and covers all the topics. They give you very detailed answers to the questions asked during the classroom sessions. The in-car sessions are really helpful and improve your driving a lot. The instructors pay attention to all the small details on your driving skills and gives you very good guidance to improve it. They understand that everyone is different and therefore the way everyone learn things are different too. I'd highly recommend First Rate Driver. Read Less

Thank you First rate driver and Sean, for making me a better driver than I was and helping me get my class 5 license on my first attempt. I am not a good test taker but all the time that you spent in the class teaching the why and how's of driving and then in car getting the basic of driving rights certainly made me ace the test and confident of being on the road. To anyone and everyone thinking of taking a class with First Rate Driver, please do so, Sean is fantastic teacher both in the class room and outside. You may have year's of driving experience but taking a class with First Rate driver will certainly make a difference to your diving style. Read Less

First rate indeed. Classroom sessions were very informative - Sean Daly was very knowledgeable of New Brunswick's Motor Vehicle Act, defensive driving and road safety. And he's always ready to help whenever we had questions, even after the classes. My driving instructor Meghan was awesome and she made every session fun. She took note of everything I needed to improve on. She always goes above and beyond and made sure I was more than ready for my road test. They helped me pass my tests with flying colors. Read Less

I highly recommend the First Rate Driver School at 358 King St # 101, Fredericton NB. This school has the passion to educate student drivers. Shawn did an amazing job on conducting the classroom training. He won't just teach you on how to drive, know the road rules or signs or even pass the road test but also he extensively shares his knowledge on how to be one of the best drivers in the world, I must say. My driving instructor Meghan is very outstanding. She knows all the aspects of proper driving techniques. She has the passion to teach and she does very well on her job. I am definitely recommending the FIRST RATE DRIVER. Keep up the good work! Read Less

I and my wife were looking for a good Driving School in Fredericton. We’re advised for First Rate Driver School and honestly speaking it was definitely the rightest choice. Each Saturday class, we’ve attended, was held in an atmosphere of fun and humor. We were so excited to participate in discussions and express our own thoughts and opinions about various issues and tasks. Classes conducted in such an atmosphere helped us to quickly and easily learn the course material and pass theory test without any problems. Driving Lessons were the most excited part of the whole course. FRD has the most experienced instructional team, and this is undoubtedly true – it is not just the words. During 11 hours in-car practice, driving Instructor taught us to observe and understand the situations you find yourself in on the road, and how to react competently and appropriately. He told us exactly what the examiner will be looking out for while driving exam, what our strengths and weaknesses are. One of the biggest advantages I liked the most is that on the day of my road test, instructor picked me up at the agreed time, around 2 hours before the test, that gave me the chance to β€˜warm up’ and feel myself completely ready for the road rest. FRD taught us fully understand the road and its potential dangers on practice. If you really want to learn to drive safe and carefully choose First Rate Driver! You won't regret spending your time and money with this Driving School. Furthermore, FRD can help save you money on your car insurance, as their course qualifies for insurance reduction.

My son took his drivers education with First Rate and got his licence on the first attempt! The friendly staff was great to deal with. The in class instructor made the classes educational and enjoyable and the in car instructor gave him confidence and instilled safe driving practices. I am happy to say I will be sending my daughter in the fall and it makes me reassured having them driving knowing they got the training they did at First Rate Driver. Read Less
