This school is in a good location plus the instructors were all good . They offer also extra packages which I personally got . Special thanks to Karen ,Jay and Rashid obviously they all have different personalities they helped me improve from an error-prone driver to a fairly competent driver. Driving in downtown helps a lot . This is a good school long may it continue ! Read Less

Good school, very accommodating to your situation. They gave me some remedial lessons to get used to driving on the right side of the road and on the ice. Avoid the German instructor who claims to have many years of experience, he doesn't take into account your requests. The other instructors are honestly fantastic. The test is all about being confident. After a serious set of nervous tests, the instructor Karen boosted confidence in my driving ability so I passed the test! Read Less

Overall a great driving school. Sure, the theory classes were quite boring, with a lot of emphasis on young men being dangerous drivers, but that's not the fault of the school. There was one instructor who was sometimes quite rude and would repeat the same horrifying stories of how people she knew had died in traffic accidents, but as far as I know she is not working there anymore. For the most part I had the same driving instructor for the practice sessions, Karen. He was really great! He was really nice, patient and realised that he needed to give me independence to enable me to become a good driver. Take classes with him if you can! The secretary, Roya, is super helpful, accommodating and very friendly. She will try her best to cater to your schedule. I would say that, excluding the theory classes, it was a fun experience!

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. My experience with them has been terrible and I do not wish this on anyone else. Here is why: Boring lectures. The teachers simply read from the slides; most of the time they don't even read it themselves and ask the student to do the reading. Material covered in lectures has at best a 20 percent overlap with the module 5 exam. It is almost as if they are organizing the material this way to make sure you don't pass the exam in a first try ==> more $$$ for the school. Make you buy an overpriced textbook which they never use in class except for useless questionnaires like "what is your dream car", or the over-the-top-obvious ones like "what are the risk behaviours on the road". I didn't pay hundreds of dollars to be lectured on not to drink and drive. Teachers show no interest in teaching what so ever ; their style is mechanical and monotonic. #################################################### Forget what I said above. The National Driving School is someone's business and negative previews do it great damage. I was made to realize just how important it is to the owners ; and they take their livelihood VERY seriously. My previous comments about how the lessons were boring was prejudiced - - the lessons were targeted at 16 year olds who have the need to have every "obvious" detail explained to them because they learn that way. That's the way they are supposed to be. I hope this extra information is enough to help new students make a decision about future enrolment with the school. This school has so many great things about it. To name one just think about the location : how great is it to just have to cross a street from the Molson Business School and you can attend your driving lessons ? I can't think of another school that beats that. Read Less

An excellent school all around. Very patient, professional, and nurturing. Today was my last official lesson period and it was really hard saying goodbye to the staff they're some awesome people. The location itself is immaculate, a few seconds from Guy Metro. I feel like I made the best choice choosing National DS. Read Less
