When I had only been driving for a few years, I got into a bad rollover on a gravel road and I've…read morebeen afraid of driving ever since. Now, I drive occasionally but fear my inexperience makes me more of a danger on the road. So I was nervous about my Class 5 road test, especially with only ten days to practice before the date. My sister got me in touch with Parmot and I immediately felt more at ease. Parmot knew everything about the test centre, the neighbourhood, and every point I would be evaluated on. He made me feel much more confident in my ability to pass the test. More importantly, he made me a better driver. He spotted all the bad habits I'd picked up from learning to drive without a qualified instructor. He got me started on replacing them with better ones--even though, of course, you can only do so much in ten days. I recommend Parmot highly for drivers who suffer with nerves or anxiety. he has a skill for recognizing when learners are getting stressed out and applying just the right amount of pressure to keep them improving without getting overwhelmed. Even when I sometimes struggled to catch certain words because of his accent, he was always patient and persistent in explaining the procedures until I understood them. Everything about the process was easy. Parmot accommodated my tight schedule by giving me five lessons in ten days. We started and ended each lesson at my address. The lessons were ninety minutes each but on many occasions, such as when we got stuck in traffic going out, he sacrificed more of his time to make sure I had trained the skills I needed to. On the day of the test, it was a Richmond blizzard! This was a surprise to everyone. The front desk clerk told us there had been a few no-shows that day by the time we arrived. Thanks to all my preparation and the confidence I gained with Parmot's guidance, I was able to keep a cool head for the test despite the curveball and I passed it with three minor notes. As I said to him, "I couldn't have done it without you."

Valley Driving School came highly recommended by a friend of mine, and will always be highly recommended by me. I aced the classroom portion, but was very nervous and uncertain behind the wheel during my in cab instruction classes. I don't think I was quite prepared for how unnerving driving a loaded rig through congested cities during rush hour, or down winding mountain roads was going to be and my instructors all sensed my nervousness and were amazing at trying to calm and reassure me. Everyone I encountered during my MELT programme treated me and every other student I saw with complete respect (and there were a couple of students that in my opinion might not have deserved it), exhibited a LOT of patience, and could not have been more supportive. I told my wife two weeks before my road test that I was feeling 50/50 about my chances of passing on my first attempt, and my instructors worked HARD to support me and get me to believe in myself and despite having a terrible night's sleep the night before, having horrible indigestion the morning of, and feeling because of my exhaustion and angst that I was close to having an anxiety attack on the drive in to my road test lol, I passed it on my first attempt. These people are AWESOME!!!! Also, unlike what the one star review guy indicated - they were super flexible with me and my schedule and even rescheduled a couple of my classes so that I could attend my annual four day golf trip with my friends. If I could give them more than five starts I would!!

*** 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
