Beforre I was enrolled in the Young Drivers program, the prospect of driving a car was daunting to me, but the instruction offered by my Young Drivers instructors helped make me feel more confident in my abilities as a driver. I’m sure all the instructors are excellent, but Brian Anderson was my in-car instructor, and he is amazing! I highly recommend the program to any new drivers. Read Less

This organization is where I first learned how to drive back when I was 16. I am from Alberta and recently moved to Ottawa and had to take my G test. Brian really helped clarify some of the differences between Ontario and Alberta driving laws (school zone is 40 not 30 like in AB) etc. I passed my test and got my G! Thanks! Read Less

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Young Drivers! I was looking to get my G license after having my G2 for a few years, and Young Drivers was so helpful from the time I called to set up some lessons to the time I did my road test! I had Aaron as my instructor in Ottawa. He was such a great teacher, and really spent lots of time with me going over things that I was particularly nervous about (such as highway/freeway driving). Aaron and the rest of the team at Young Drivers were consistently patient, supportive and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone! :) I'm so much more confident in my driving skills and very glad to have finally gotten my G license - thank you Aaron and YD! Read Less

I had a great experience learning to drive with YD. I enjoyed their program, and think the price reflects the quality. I was told by police officers that this is the BEST school to go with if you want to get a good foundation and learn the right driving habits. Shout out to Matt Haddad for helping me along the way to getting my G2! I was such a nervous driver I thought I would never get to this point, but here I am. Would highly recommend to every new driver or anyone needing to brush up on skills. Read Less

Young drivers is a great way to get into driving without much of a risk. Young drivers also provides an opportunity to simulate G2 test driving which is great for those who don't know what it's like.
