I turned to YD for in-car lessons after a friend had a great experience with her instructor, Clifford Rowe. I'm in my 30's and was highly anxious about driving. I had tried driving lessons before with other schools/instructors, but had not really progressed and was starting to feel very defeated. I booked lessons with Cliff as a last ditch effort to gain some confidence behind the wheel, and it is one of the best decisions I have made. Cliff's laid back, yet professional demeanor instantly put me at ease. I quickly started to gain confidence and rather than dreading driving, I found myself looking forward to lessons. Cliff has an incredible sense of humour, but also really knows his stuff. He gave me lots of great tips, pushed me outside of my comfort zone (in a way where I always felt safe), and and pumped up my self esteem. Today I passed my G2 with flying colours - an achievement almost 2 decades in the making! My evaluator asked me after my test if I had done lessons with YD, and when I said that I had, he said that it showed. Big thank you to YD and especially to Cliff!

As an adult learning to drive I am so glad I chose Young Drivers. From the first time I went into the office they were friendly and willing to help. Any correspondence I had over email or phone was always quickly taken care of. My in class evenings with teacher Barry were great. My in car instructor Clifford Rowe was amazing. I was very nervous, and had never driven before I met him and 4 weeks later we were on the 417!! I learned so much from his very patient and kind teaching. I was always very afraid of driving but my confidence was quickly built up. I am very grateful to Young Drivers.

My daughter is currently going through their program and a couple \buyer beware\ things parents should know before purchasing this program. First, there is an online portion of their program that requires you to have ADOBE FLASH so make sure you have an old laptop/ computer with this. Second, you need to book your in car lessons while you are booking your in class. When we signed up in April and the first available in car was JULY! They do not have enough instructors to handle the load of students. We have rescheduled twice. Once in July and her lesson was moved to October 1. Then again we had to reschedule and it was mid-November. There is a 3 to 4 day delay in the office getting back to you on emails so it's hard to reach them as well. Having done Young Drivers when we were learning how to drive, I thought this would be the best program but as THE MOST expensive program out there, I think they really need to actually invest in the program and hire more in car instructors, more office staff and update their online portion off of Flash which has known security vulnerabilities.

After a terrible first experience with an awful teacher YD were quick to assign me someone new who was absolutely amazing (Cliff). I am in my mid 20s and was moving to Alberta a few months after starting my lessons and was able to complete all the required elements and pass my exam with no issues. Cliff was an excellent instructor - not only at teaching the skills but also at helping me build up my confidence to drive. He was flexible on lesson timing with my work schedule and came with me to my exam in Renfrew (the only location with availability before my move). I have now been driving daily for over a year and a half, even driving over 600km on my own without issue. I am grateful to the staff at YD West and Cliff for helping me achieve what I put off doing for almost 10 years.

My time at Young Drivers was a great experience overall. The office would reply to my emails very quickly, and would accommodate for any changes that I wished to make. During my in car lessons with Marc Dubois, I was taught and encouraged to practice safe driving habits in an entertaining manner that left me looking forward to every lesson. I would definitely recommend signing up for this program!
