If possible, AVOID this driving school, I went to this driving school in early 2016, and am just now finding the right words to describe my distaste to this company. During the "20 hours" of class we had to do (I put 20 hours in quotations as I think my class got maybe 15 hours of in class lessons due to the teacher having to leave an hour after class started one day.. and never making the missed class time up) we spent most of the time watching Facebook dash-cam videos, or listening to the teacher bash how women drive -- when the class was mostly female. The teacher could barely speak English and had a VERY heavy accident making it nearly impossible to understand what he was saying sometimes. The only reason this in class time was decent was the Tim Hortons across the street.
The ten hours of driving is a completely different story, my instructor never cancelled any appointments, she was never late, a complaint I've seen a lot, which I don't understand how, my instructor came to the high school I was attending at the time to pic me up after school, knowing the time that my school was over, I agreed to meet 20 minutes afterward so I was not rushed out of class, and didn't have to deal with after school high schoolers, my instructor knowing this would arrive 30 minutes early to our pick up location and be upset when I wouldn't be outside immediately, besides that, my instructor was very heavy on her brake, causing us to stop in the middle of flowing traffic for no reason - REALLY quickly - when learning how to go through roundabout's and going on and off the express way my instructor would grab the steering wheel and hold it so I couldn't move it unless she was - meaning I had no control of the car - She was good about bringing me around the drive test practice area, but on our final practice when she was suppose to test me she constantly laughed at me and put me down on every error I made asking me "what the heck is wrong with your head?" causing me to have to pull over (making a proper roadside stop facing downhill) and have an anxiety attack, that she laughed about and told me to continue driving. When I finished my classes it was late May, I was unable to take my G2 test until early September, meaning I had 3 months between my final "practice" and my test - this was due to her being busy in the summer... I was left on my own to book my appointment for my G2 with no instructions on how to do that.
Truly, this school is not worth the time and energy, there are schools around KW for around the same cost that gives a better education and cars about the driver. I honestly get nervous driving around a Pro Drivers car when on the streets around here. Read Less
