I took lessons from Rain and Robert - they are both very good instructors. They are both gentle and nice, and taught me really well about how to drive safely. They also clarified my questions I had for flow of traffic , intersection, reference point and road rules. I also like the fact that they are consistent with the car they drive -so even when I was with different instructor, I was able to drive consistently. The administration was also fast and efficient. I can pay the lesson via cheque or email transfer and I can can easily book lessons via text or email.

For anyone who is looking to learn how to drive safely, feel confident, drive defensively, and…read moreobtain long term techniques, Pam is the one for you. I have received my Learners license over and over again for the past 10 years, often experiencing too much anxiety to fully commit to learning how to drive. Pam was patient, met me where I felt I was at, encouraging and motivating. Pam observed my learning style, and matched her teaching to accommodate. Pam truly wants her students to do well, not only to pass onto the next steps of their driving journey, but to become safe and confident drivers while we are all sharing the road. Pam was just as amazing at supporting my building of self confidence, as she was in the practical driving instruction. I am happy to report that this previous week I finally took the road test and transitioned from a "Learners License" to my "Novice License." Not only do the laws tell me I can drive legally on the road, I now truly believe that driving is something I am capable of doing!

This was my fault I should have got him lessons fron the beginning. The owner/instructor at universal went above and beyond. He told us my son needed two lessons and that he would book my sons next apoinment his road test him self, being that currently with covid it takes as long as 4-5 months to reschedule. I don't know how he did, it possibly up late at night determined to find a spot but he got my son his retest almost exactly 2 weeks later after his failed one. He gave my boy two amazing lessons. My son said the instructor was so good at teaching him things he never learned from me. My son took his test and had nothing but compliments on his driving skills on the testers final report he passed with flying colours and we owe it all to universal driving school. Thank you so much

Then…read moreafterwards, there was absolutely no customer service: very difficult to book in-car lessons, no response to emails, being in a queue on the phone to speak to someone, instructor with "I'll contact you with my next opening" but not doing so... It's now the end of March 2022 and only received 5/8 of in-car lessons from October 2021 to January 2022. I don't think that is enough practice for a new driver. Website does not provide any information on how to request a refund - Answer: send an email to refunds@yd.com and you must do it within 1 year of course enrollment date. It seems that YD is meant for non-students because the only times that we could book in-car lessons was during a Pro-D or school vacation time. The Burnaby instructor was not available for after school lessons or weekends.

*** WORST CLASS 1 DRIVING SCHOOL I COULD EVER IMAGINE ***…read more*** SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS AT ALL !!! This school took over $12,000 for my Long Haul Class 1 and they can not / will not supply my remaining pre-paid driving hours or a refund !! Since my lesson of October 12/21 and only after threatening to notify both the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and commence legal action for not allowing training of these prepaid hours I've again waited another 7.5 weeks only to receive 2 short lessons THIS IS NOT COMMERCIAL TRUCK TRAINING AT ALL I'm still owed around 60 hours, with them refusing any driving time or refund THIS IS NOT AT ALL WHAT I had PREPAID FOR, OR WAS PROMISED TO RECEIVE AS A STUDENT OF NORTH SHORE DRIVING SCHOOL !! Both instructors hate each other, bickering constantly and unprofessionally creating a lot of anxiety for students The only person that knows anything in that company is the driving instructor Jeremy He's great, but unfortunately you don't get to stay with him Judy the owner answers the phone putting on a good front, but really just doesn't care once you pay It seems to be a regular thing to have upset students, failing their road test or just walking off screaming about the lack of professional quality from their lessons in the parking lot Not only is the management neglectful and unwilling to resolve or accommodate student issues, but they just don't seem to care at all I've gotten emails from North Shore Driving Schools saying they are aware of the major staff concerns, disagreements and arguments but further stating they have no one to replace him with October 12, 2021 I was squished into a road test with very little training I showed up as scheduled, 2 hours prior to my test to do some hands on driving and pre-trip inspection Lorrie, the instructor I've complained numerous times about, refused to let me practice driving insisting that he will drive, ensuing a huge argument between us for 2 hours, just prior to my test This infuriated me, I was so mad and distracted from what I was there to do I failed my test, mainly because I never latched my back trailer door properly during my pre-trip. Then doing a break tug, examiner knew it wasn't latched properly, Dangerous move, automatic fail Because of this, I must now take the FULL MELT COURSE with zero hours credited elsewhere North Shore Driving Schools position is that you failed the driving test and we are not currently offering the MELT Program so there is nothing more we can do for you It's my position, they are the reason I failed in the first place by creating among other thing a hostile training environment. Secondly why can't I still train with my pre-paid driving hours or have them refunded ? A further $12,000 later, I've signing up for MELT at a different, much more organized MELT Driving School I will be starting in the New Year Truth be told they have no qualified instructors to work with them to let the crappy one of two go It's my opinion the trucks are both unsafe and in need of serious repair This is on top of all the other things I've mentioned going on at North Shore Driving Schools From what I understand they were again getting evicted from their parking lot and very close to bankruptcy NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY ARE FOR SALE Good luck with that !! I would NOT recommend this company at all !!! I will be filing with the BBB as well as a court action shortly for both a refund and damages against NORTH SHORE DRIVING SCHOOL LTD
