Burdine Rex2026-02-04Andy was excellent with our nervous new driver. He taught her how to safely navigate Calgary’s roads and to be confident behind the wheel. He was always punctual, kind, and patient. We rented his car for the exam, which worked out perfectly. Thanks again Andy!! Would highly recommend him!!
carolina morley2026-01-05I just passed my road test, and I’m more than grateful. Andy is an amazing instructor—extremely calm, patient, and persistent. He explains exactly what you need to improve in your driving. He is very knowledgeable, and I felt safe and confident booking my road test with his guidance. I had tried three different driving schools before and did not pass. Andy noticed right away what I needed to improve, and honestly, I could not have passed without his help. I highly recommend Andy’s Driver Training Inc. to everyone, especially if you are nervous about driving. Thanks - Obrigada, Andy!!!!!
Rachel U2026-01-05I had a brush-up driving lesson with Andy, and I couldn’t recommend him more. He is extremely patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about making you feel confident behind the wheel. I’ve been driving for over 15 years in my home country, yet I still learned so much from him. Andy shared excellent tips and practical advice that I’ll carry with me for life. His experience really shows, and he explains things clearly and calmly, which makes a huge difference. With his guidance, I passed my road test on my first attempt. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is fun, highly experienced, and incredibly patient, Andy is the right choice, you won’t make a mistake choosing him.
Ashley2026-01-03I passed my road test today on the first try, and I couldn’t have done it without Andy. I was a very nervous at first, but he was patient, calm, and always on time. He helped me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. I am very thankful to him and highly recommend Andy to anyone who feels nervous or scared about driving.
Kateryna Luchko2026-01-03My best decision was to choose this school for driving lessons! I started the courses as a beginner with no experience, and ended up as a driver who gets in and drives calmly. Instructor Andy is very polite, patient, explains all the nuances well, and practices skills to automaticity. I am very grateful to him! Bonus - the instructor comes to pick you up right at your home. I definitely recommend it! Найкраще моє рішення було обрати цю школу для навчання водінню! Я починала курси з повного нуля, а закінчила водієм який сідає і спокійно їде. Інструктор Анді дуже ввічливий, терплячий, гарно пояснює всі нюанси, відпрацьовує навички до автоматизму. Дуже йому вдячна! Бонус - інструктор приїжджає за вами прямо до вашого дому. Рекомендую однозначно!
Wilton Leonardo2025-12-31I really liked the way Mr. Andy teaches, he’s very good and super helpful. I got some brush-up lesson before my road test since I have some experience in my home country and It was enough for me to pass in the first try. Mr. Andy is always professional and has a good way of explaining, with a lot of examples and possibilities. Also the brush lessons were very similar path to the road test, which made a way easier during my test. At the end, Mr. Andy is an easy choice if you wanna improve your driving skills and/or prepare yourself to road tests, great service and person.
Jenilee Evans2025-12-30My daughter had a very positive experience with Andy for driving lessons. We noticed a boost in her confidence and skills on the road. Andy is very professional, organized, patient and punctual. His personality and sense of humor made it a more enjoyable experience. We found it helpful that we could rent the same car for her exam that she used for the lessons. Thanks to Andy, she passed first try with a perfect score! From booking lessons right to the exam it was such an easy stress free experience. As a parent I feel comfort knowing she’s out there on her own now confident & well trained.
ma.theresa Carig2025-12-23I passed my road test today and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Andy. His guidance helped me achieve something that once felt impossible. Getting my license means real freedom for me—I won’t have to take the bus to work in the winter anymore. Andy was incredibly patient, always punctual, and truly supportive. I highly recommend him to anyone who feels nervous or lacks confidence behind the wheel. And he has become now my family friend. Thank you lord!

Tim McCormick2025-12-20Andy did a wonderful job helping my son drive with confidence and pass his driver’s test. I’m happy he has the knowledge and safety awareness taught by Andy. He was kind, flexible and a very conscientious teacher. Highly recommended!! Thanks Andy.!! Tim.

✅ 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.
