Todd Earle2026-05-21I would recommend Andy's driving school he is a great instructor very friendly and gets the job done
JC2026-05-07Andy was an excellent instructor. I really appreciated his encouragement, advice, and guidance. He did an amazing job preparing me for my road test and helped me become a better driver. Thank you, Andy!
Maia Palanque2026-05-06Andy’s always punctual and patient . I passed on my first try! Thank you Andy
Vinnsmoke Sanji2026-05-04Andy is just awesome. Andy is the man. 10/10 recommend his training, such a kind guy. Had me overly prepared for my exam. Easy 5/5
Priyesh nath2026-04-29I passed my road test on my first attempt thanks to Andy. I had driving experience from another country, so Andy had to “retrain” me in a few ways—which wasn’t easy, haha—but he did a great job teaching me the proper way to drive in Canada. Because of his guidance, I was able to pass on my first try. Andy is very punctual, patient, and focused on his students. He explains things clearly and helps you feel confident behind the wheel. I highly recommend Andy’s Driver Training in Calgary to both new and experienced drivers.
Yevhen Kochubieiev2026-04-28Я користувався автошколою Andy’s Driver Training і залишився дуже задоволений. Особливо сподобався підхід Andy до навчання — він дуже ввічливий, спокійно та зрозуміло все пояснює, що допомагає почуватися впевнено за кермом. Завдяки його урокам я зміг скласти дорожній тест з першої спроби, що для мене було дуже важливо. Щиро дякую за професіоналізм і підтримку! Рекомендую всім, хто хоче навчитися впевнено та безпечно водити 🚗
Brenda Dapoc2026-04-24I’ll be honest—I felt a bit guilty going into my daughter’s road test because I hadn’t been the one teaching her to drive. Instead, we put our trust to Andy, her instructor. When I arrived at the registry office, I saw Andy calmly waiting outside, completely relaxed. Then he simply said, “She passed!” Andy is incredibly professional and clearly experienced in working with students of different skill levels and ages. No matter the situation or a student’s mood, he remains patient, composed, and supportive. That consistency really stood out to me. My daughter only took few lessons from March to mid-April, and on her first attempt, she passed her Class 5 road test—without any additional help from us at home. That speaks volumes about Andy’s teaching ability and how well he prepares his students. Thank you, Andy, for helping my daughter achieve this milestone with confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled driving instructor.
Deron Wilson2026-04-23I had an excellent experience with my driving instructor Andy. From the very beginning, he created a calm and supportive environment that made it easy for me to learn and build confidence behind the wheel. His professionalism stood out at every lesson. He was always punctual, patient, and clear in his instructions. What impressed me most was how accurate and effective his guidance was. Everything he told me to focus on came up during my road test, and because of his preparation, I felt fully ready and passed successfully. He has a great way of breaking down complex driving situations into simple, manageable steps, which made a huge difference in my progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely supportive driving instructor. Thank you Andy 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Yah man!!!!

📘 GDL Online Theory & In-Car Lessons
Once you complete the 15-hour online theory course (GDL program), we recommend booking your in-car lessons 2–3 weeks in advance — right after enrollment.
Please note: Alberta Transportation requires all GDL students to complete the full theory course before starting any in-car lessons. This ensures a safe, effective, and well-structured learning experience.
⚠️ Important Notice
As per Alberta Transportation guidelines, all GDL applicants must complete the full 15-hour online theory course before starting any in-car lessons.
This ensures a safe, effective, and well-structured learning experience for every student.
📝 Online Course Attempts:
You have three (3) attempts to pass the online theory course.
If not successful, it must be repurchased for $69.99 using a different email address.
That said — we’ve never had to resell it! With a little dedication, this course is very doable and straightforward.
✅ Our Pass Rate is High — Just Read the Reviews!
While many of our students pass on their first try, it’s not guaranteed.
We do everything possible to prepare you thoroughly for your road test — and we want you to succeed!
But it’s your test, and nerves or unexpected situations can affect even the most prepared driver.
That’s why we encourage you to explore all your options and choose the path that feels right for you.
Thank you for considering us!
🛣️ Do You Teach the Exact Road Test Route?
No — because there isn’t one fixed route. Examiners can go in any direction, and traffic or weather can change everything on test day.
That’s why we don’t limit practice to one area. Instead, we focus on building real-world confidence — preparing you for all kinds of roads, conditions, and situations.
Our goal? To help you pass your test and become a safe, capable driver for life.
👍 Behind-the-Wheel Training Only
You can enroll in our behind-the-wheel program without the online or in-class theory course.
Note: This option does not include the 15-hour theory course, so no insurance reduction certificate will be issued.

You can reschedule your lesson yourself using the reschedule link in your booking email.
Please do this at least 48 hours in advance.
To cancel, kindly text us 48 hours in advance.
Late changes or no-shows will incur a $49.99 fee.

They are equipped with dash-cams, dual mirrors, an instructor-side brake, and clear training signage to ensure safety, legality, and visibility on the road.
🚘 One-on-One IN-CAR Lessons
These lessons are mandatory for your safety, insurance, and liability reasons — and to ensure the best learning experience.

👩🏫 Instructor Information
Currently, we don’t have a female instructor on our team.
However, all our instructors are experienced, respectful, and dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable learning environment for every student.

Some students learn quickly, others take more time.
Those with prior experience usually do well, averaging about 10 hours of professional practice.
Research shows new drivers often need an additional 30 hours of practice beyond the basic course.
Practice makes perfect, but alone, it’s not enough to reach perfection.
