    Their online course is a joke. Website is terribly designed, sometimes I can't login, my progress…read morewas completely reset once; The course material is tedious and a lot of it is repetitive or unimportant. There are 'breaks' in the course that don't let you progress for 3 minutes. Makes sense, you should take a break after a certain amount of time. But instead of being on a timer, they're built into the course. On multiple occasions I logged in and the first thing I was told to do was take a 3 minute break. The answers for the assessments are sometimes blatantly wrong, and some of the 'sub-habits' that the course revolves around are just synonyms for each other, making it quite difficult to actually learn anything. The course is built around timers, to prevent you from skipping through the whole course without actually reading anything, but I will have read the content and there will still be a minute left on the timer, completely wasting my time. Some of the content and questions/answers have grammatical mistakes and look like they've been written quickly and never reviewed. Also, their course is supposed to take 30 hours, but my estimate is that it takes 40-50 hours. During the course I spent two hours with the progress bar reading 49%, not moving up at all. I have a feeling there are many more things I didn't mention. TLDR : Their online course is terrible, useless, and a waste of time and money. I can't believe a large and well established/reputed company would dare to charge hundreds of dollars for a course like this.

YD thinks that it is fine to make customers wait over two months for an in-car lesson. They are accepting more students than they can handle and are unable to provide any flexibility when scheduling driving lessons. Save money and book with a driving school that can actually deliver driving lessons in a timely way.

    My first lesson was meh, my instructor was difficult to understand and would get slightly agitated…read morewith me. He was not greatly suited to me as for I get upset easily and he would not help with the nerves I had. I switched instructors (which ended up being the best decision!). The instructor that I had for the last 4 lessons was great. He made driving so much less stressful by chatting and really getting to know me as a person and driver. He was such a great instructor, knows his stuff, wouldn't ever get upset and gave great tips for my G2 test. Shoutout Tibor!

    Waited a few months before writing this as I did not want to post reactively. Comparing this to…read moreYoung Driver's (where my eldest took lessons) it could not have been more different. Here is where DTSM absolutely failed my child: 1) did not teach them what a "blind spot" is ("shoulder check" without telling you why/where you are to look is completely useless and dangerous); 2) Did not teach u-turn (when questioned about this, the school admin said "I personally think they should be illegal"); 3) Did not take them driving at night; 3) Did not teach parallel parking (only to park behind a car - when questioned the driving instructor told my child - "there's plenty of parking in Ottawa - no need to parallel park"); 4) Did not allow my child to wear sunglasses to the point where I needed to insist/retrain this behaviour because it is a safety issue when you are blinded by the sun (obviously!); 5) Did not take them on the highway. Beyond this, parking was only practiced/taught the first lesson and reviewed at the last lesson, and my child was taught to drive under the speed limit by 5-10km/hr. All of this to say, I will not be taking my youngest child to this school when it is her turn to learn and would discourage others from choosing this driving school.
