I passed my road test today thanks to the lessons and coaching from Amanda at MRD. As an adult with a busy family, with no driving experience at all, I really benefited from the evening and weekend availability. Amanda was pleasant to be around and gave constant feedback and constructive criticism during our sessions.

Jett, our son, liked his course a lot at MRD Driving School and we can’t thank the instructors there enough, especially his in-car instructor Karen. Jett is a safe, smart driver thanks to learning the ropes form MRD. Highly recommend them.
Our other son Jarrett will be signing up shortly.

The class was good, but the in car lessons weren't the best. They forgot about me, and kept forgetting about me after I called them a number of times. They kept rescheduling my lessons and the instructor was very distracting whilst driving.

Very bad school, not recommended. Contrary to comments from the owner the time spent on the driveway was every class and not just once and the worst ones being 30 minutes, the student was asked to sign the the attendance sheet before the class started and not after as indicated by the owners response so the statement is not true.
The same complaint was shared by few of our neighbors whose children had been students of MRD driving previously. So instead of blaming the student make sure you have proper instructors. 21 years does not mean anything until and unless it is backed up by proper service. FYI My wife already managed to get a her drivers licence after taking 2 more classes from a different driving school.
My wife joined their adult driving program which had 8 hours of class room training and 8 hours of road lessons. The class room sessions were ok nothing to comment but when it came to the driving lessons it was an absolute disaster.
The instructor spent 15 to 30 minutes of the 60 minute road lesson session parked in the driveway, talking about the lesson. I can undersatnd a quick 5 minute instruction before starting the lesson but cannot understand the 30 minutes
My wife has completed her course, at the end of the day the instructor didn't even teach her how to park or drive in the highway. I would not recommend this school to anyone total waste of money.
