Reviews of Champion Driving School - Calgary (Driving School)

ThatsCeci !

My instructors name was Abdi. After failing my road test for the third time in February, Abdi met my mom in the parking lot and offered me a class to help me pass the next time. After two classes with him, he reassured me and help me build my confidence. Thanks to him, I passed. I would definitely recommend him, he’s very kind and caring.

Friendly people, great communication and appointment reminders. The drivers were calm and knowledgable. The overall experience was awesome for a new driver. Thank you to Champion for giving my son the skills needed to drive safely.

Paul Whelan

Great, personal service! Our 2 boys had their driving lessons here, and Abdi runs this driving school with professionalism and kindness. Very accommodating, despite the Covid “obstacles”. Both boys passed their test in one go, so obviously their lessons were successful!:)

I had two different instructors over the course of my lessons, and both of them were very friendly, encouraging, and fun to drive with! The lessons were informative, and there were plenty of tricks they showed me for the more difficult maneuvers such as parallel parking. If I was having extra trouble with something, we'd spend extra time focusing on it. The online lessons were super in-depth. I learned plenty. I'd recommend this driving school to brand-new drivers and even newer drivers with some experience under their belt, but regardless of how long they've been driving, anyone can get great value out of this course and lessons.

I recommend Mohamed. He let's you practice a lot and makes you perfect.

Archana :-D

I passed the driving test in my first attempt. Thanks to my instructor Adam who identified my mistakes and let me work more on them. He made me do the same thing again and again until I was confident of myself which helped me majorly relax during my driving test. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who wants to pass the test in first attempt. He is calm and patient and gives great attention. 10/10.

Sean Cullen

My instructor was very patient, friendly, and on time. The car we did my lessons in was clean and comfortable. I passed my road test first try with all the skills I learned with champion driving. Would 100% recommend this affordable driving school.

Marina Albanito

I had my lessons with Mohamed and he was the absolute best! He was very patient with me and was super clear when he taught me. I was able to parallel park within my first lesson! I passed on my first try for my drivers test. I would definitely recommend!

The people at Champion Driving are the best! They really take their time to make sure you are ready for your road test and fix even the minor details to help you become a better driver.

Flexible hour lesson, great instructors. I got my license!

Kamran Bigdely

The driving instructor (abdu) was a kind and patient person. He was my in-vehicle instructor. He taught me and my wife. I passed the first time (of course passing the practical exam is not just dependent on your instructor but also on your examiner).

Emily Lucas

I would recommend Champion Driving school!! Thanks to my instructor Adam I was confident and knowledgable about the rules of the road! I passed my road test first try! Thank you for the help!! (: cheers

tara williams

I had an great experience with Champion Driving school and I wish I chose them sooner. My instructor was Adam and he was patient and shared everything that I needed to know for my test. My time with champion driving school was short because I was initially with another driving school who pretty much left me stranded after cancelling all his services due to Covid even though I already had a test date booked. I am so glad to have went with this school and I only did two lessons before passing my road test.

Celia Chao

Champion driving provided good organization in regards to ensuring each student was on track in both the online courses as well as the in vehicle training. The administrations was responsive and supportive with student request, comments and concerns. The instructors were helpful in teaching, and made drivers feel comfortable on the road while challenging them to do better.

Layan Ahmed

I am quite disappointed with the level of professionalism of this company. I bought the in car training plus the in class course for insurance reduction - at extra cost - and finished the training in October 2020. Later I took my driver's license test and passed (hence the 2 stars). Since I finished the course I tried to obtain the certificate that proves I completed the insurance reduction course multiple times, every time I called or emailed I was promised it would be sent within 3 days but it never arrived. Finally, since November, they stopped replying to my emails and phone calls. The in car training was fine, but you can get that with any driving school. Their professional incompetence has ruined the experience for me and I would advise anyone looking for a driving school to look elsewhere.

Paris Vu

Office hours are 10am to 2pm but they never answer the phone even when called multiple times within that time period. Sometimes it forwards to an instructor but they just tell you to call back in five minutes. They have online booking but when i used it, they cancelled four appointments and rescheduled one. They have a "live" online chat for support but you never get answered and then after 10 minutes of waiting the chat server drops. Overall, communication is abysmal. Giving two stars for price, and the instructor.

Braden

Passed my drivers test with very little anxiety on the first go. mohammed was an amazing instructor would recommend to anyone seriously the price was amazing and I cannot believe how much i learned

Anthony Edwards

I can't even begin to acknowledge the trust and admiration I have for Champion Driving School. The kind souls that work there helped me attain my drivers with their course, i took both online and incar instruction. I will forever be grateful for them and what they have done for me and my family. Thanks Champion, you guys rock

Abdy, Umor, Adam they really are very helpful.

Fatma Ndiaye

The instructor Adam is a very bad person, he took my money and didn't give me all my 5 classes , bad service

ana maria Columban

Reasonable prices, clean car, courteous instructor and always on time. It was fun learning how to drive. Thank you Adam.

Ganesh Babu Sakthivel

Adam was my driving Instructor; he was patient, flexible and friendly. He made sure I understand all the traffic rules & signs. And Champions Driving school provides courses for very reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend Champions Driving School to everyone.

Matt Mahoney

Written course was well done however the driving training done by Bebe was not good. She told my daughter incorrect driving rules, had my daughter chauffeur her around, was constantly on her cell phone and also had her pick up other drivers before ending her time slot. Bebe was nice but ultimately my daughter found these things to be extremely unhelpful. She did have a different driver on her last day and she claimed he was very knowledgeable and focused on her and helping her practice parking and improve her driving.

Ibrahim AlMasri

One of the best driving schools in Calgary. Flexible schedules, very friendly instructor and affordable price.

Jashanpal Singh

Had a great experience with Mr. Adams. He helped me at every step until I got my license. I recommend him.

Megan Kayla

I didn't want to have to leave one star but since no one wanted to respond to my last few messages about scheduling my last 2hrs on the road....since last year.(October 2020) Even with Covid going on and places were reopened and still no reply from this company.They did not handle this situation in a proper manner which is why I am leaving this review maybe then they'd see and finally reply back.. just ridiculous honestly. Since then I haven't reached out (Now April 2021) to chase a company unwilling to teach their paying customers properly....

Clementjames Thebeau

Mrs. Abdu was an awesome instructor I had a great time with him being my instructor will miss it too. and I got my license on the first try

Saadat Aidyralieva

Abdi was a great instructor! I would recommend him. I passed my driving test with Champion Driving School

holly kidd

I learnt everything I didn't already and way more. I drove downtown and in rural areas so i got to learn how to drive all around. The instructors are super nice! Definitely recommend!

Rubén Morales

I definetly recommend this driving school. The prices are relatively low and the quality of instruction is good. Overall good value for your money. Adan was an excellent driving instructor and he helped me pass the road test. They do not accept credit card which is a negative. And I think that the receipt you get upon payment should look more professional.

Kate Foster

My daughter had an excellent experience with Champion. It is amazing to see the change in her confidence and knowledge. Based on our experience, would highly recommend to others.

Veronica Garcia

I just finished my full course with Champion Driving School and I am so happy with the company. My instructor was Bibi and she was lovely, she would always try to accommodate and work around your schedule and she will teach you all the good driving skills you need. Additionally, Adam was also so wonderful, he assisted on organizing me with my instructors and he made it feel like I was always safe and taken care of. It was such a great experience and I am ready to take my Class 5 GDL. :)

marvellous Buhendwa

I would highly recommend champion driving school. My driving instructor was Adam he’s very patient and teaches you from right to wrong. I failed my class 5 the first time but after taking driving lessons from him I easily passed. Very happy on my decision For Choosing this driving school. Super affordable compared to other driving schools and flexible hours !!!!

Jared Sherrard

Overall, this is a great place to take driving lessons. The in class lessons are nice because they only take two days, and you learn and refresh on all the rules of the road and driving skills. The driving instructor, Abdi, is not only a very knowledgeable, easy going instructor, but he also is a good guy to talk to, and makes the in-car sessions enjoyable! In the end, I would recommend this driving school to everyone.

Hailey Parker

This was a great experience for me personally, I found the course helpful and the driving instructors very patient. 10/10

Brooke Cameron

Amazing driving school. Adam was a great driving instructor! Always on time and very patient. Would recommend!

Esther Murris

I would definitely recommend Champion Driving school to everyone, the teachers are very professional, patient and accommodating. They helped me get my license and build my confidence as a driver.

philip ilekendi

Great instructor Abshir Cade, targeted tutoring, helped me pass my test with just two sessions. Accommodative, professional and helpful instructor. Would highly recommend.

Saskia F

My experience with Champion is nothing but positive. I booked the 2-Hour Refresher Lesson to get comfortable with what to expect in the Advanced Class 5 test and I passed in my first attempt. Their courses are at a great price point and the refresher lesson in particular is very tailored to you so it's great value for your money. My instructor, Mohammed, arrived on time, gave me great tips, really helped evaluate my driving so that I knew what to work on, and took me on typical routes that can be expected in the Advanced test. I also rented the car for my test from Champion and my experience with Abdi, who met me at the registry with the car, was seamless. Abdi was prompt and even offered to drop me off after my test so that I didn't need to pay for an Uber, and Abdi waited while I did the paperwork to get the new license. All in all I would say Champion is reliable, professional, and their instructors have a great deal of knowledge about the tests so their lessons are quality & value for your money. They actually care that you go in to your test with the best chances of success.

Cara Middleton

I used this company twice for both of my sons. They were very patient, professional and knowledgeable. They are good with their clients and are willing to take whatever steps are necessary to assist them. I highly recommend Campion Driving School to anyone out there looking for a driving school.

hannah trieu

Adam is an excellent trainer and a caring, fun and caring person. He was always accommodating in our schedule changes. He allowed the driving experience to be stress free and relaxed. Thanks Adam

Abeer Al Riyami

I recently moved to Canada and needed to take the road test in order to change my foreign driver's license. Adan's helpful tips during the brush up lesson , helped me pass my class 5 advanced road test from first attempt ! I highly recommend him ????

Seon Frederick

Finest Driving school in Calgary.Thats what i would say.They instructors we cool and very informative.I had a great experience.Would recommend my friends to join too.

Rebecca Eyre

Champion driving school staff are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and flexible. My daughter was well-equipped to pass her road test on the first try.

M P

We highly recommend Champion Driving School as their instructor Adam helped my teenage daughter pass her road test! He was professional, responsible and always on time. He gave my daughter good tips on driving safely. This driving school also has one of the most competitive prices for the driver's courses.

Bethany Bateman

Today I had an issue with my car 15 minutes prior to my road test and the wonderful staff at Champion Driving stepped in to help. With only 15 minutes notice they dropped the car off to the registry. Abdi was very easy going about my etransfer not working prior to the road test and even gave me a ride to the bank so I could get cash for them afterwards, not to mention how cheap the vehicle rental was and the great condition of the car. The team at Champion driving went above and beyond for me today and it is so greatly appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a driving school or a vehicle for a road test. Thank you again!

Maggie Ho

I had a very unprofessional instructor who showed up late, picked up another client on my time, and let them drive on my time. The second time the same instructor made me pick up another client, I made it clear I wanted to drive on my time. Once again, she was late so I wanted to keep driving until we were at the 1 hour mark since I am paying for that time. She was trying to drop me off early. She was incredibly rude about it. Terrible instructor too. Always on her phone and asking me to make very last minute turns because she’s not paying attention. And then slams the brake and yells at you. I talked to the owner/manager and got a free driving session as compensation. My instructor then, was amazing. I completed my course and still haven’t recieved my certificate (I need it for my work and insurance). It’s been about a month. I called, and was told that they would get back to me. Terrible communication skills, and I don’t feel like I am being taken seriously. I mentioned many times I needed my certificate ASAP for work. I regret going to this company.

shareena nur

They never answer the phone during office hours. They cancel appointments on their own without letting you know. There is no communication whatsoever. The instructors do not confirm with you the day before or anytime before your lesson. They do not let you know that there are different instructors and which one you will be attended to, random. Causes a mix up in communication and you do not know who to contact when needed.

Stella Guan

The course is very affordable and effective. However, I wished each lesson was taken place on a different route rather than driving on the same roads each lesson. Adam was very helpful and taught me how to parallel park as well as up hill and down hill parking. Scheduling and canceling driving lesson times is very simple as they are very flexible. The overall course was helpful and would highly recommend.

R H

The instructor was very helpful and gave clear instructions to follow on the road. He took time to explain what to pay close attention to for the road exam, and this definitely helped - as I passed! I highly recommend Champion Driving School!

Jessica Baldwin

Had an excellent experience with Champion Driving School - passed my road test on the first try! Learned a lot from the instruction from Mohamed and Adam during the driving training, they definitely gave me the skills required to feel confident going into my road test - was even complimented on my parking by the examiner! Both were respectful and made me feel comfortable. Communication was very efficient on the part of the administrators and the instructors. The online material is... fine, but apparently comparable to the other driving course material available (AMA etc), just a bit dated and some silly videos, but you do learn some things. The vehicles used are in good shape and felt safe to drive. Great value - do recommend!

Lina Brown

The Instructor at this driving school were great they were understanding, and very knowledgeable. The two day classroom went great for me and I believe I received my share of education from both days. Also the driving Instructor Abdi was very pleasant and a wonderful teacher. He taught me many useful driving skills while taking the course. I would highly recommend this driving school to others, I had an awesome experience and learned a lot.

Coral Devcich

Very responsive, friendly, helpful

Brandon Chen

My instructor Abdi was very experienced and taught me lots of valuable lessons about driving. He was friendly and gave me all the necessary knowledge to pass my drivers test. He was always on time and gave me lots of freedom when driving to notice my bad habits and change them.

Denisse Sison

I had an awesome driving instructor who was fun, informative, and kind. The quality of driving tips and pointers was very helpful and I became more comfortable with driving within just a couple of the 2 hour classes. Would recommend.

zrcq 02

Great place to get your class 5.

Lisa Bjornson

My daughter just passed her driver's test thanks to her instructors. Thanks Champion!

sh K

Hello everyone, I highly recommend Champion Driving School.I appreciate Mr.Abdi for the best training.He is a great trainer!!

Mason Ung

I just finished my driving lesson and I learned a lot from it. My driving instructor was vic and he shared a lot of tips with me on how to drive safe and park.

Devin Peddle

Amazing driving school helped me pass my test with ease. I had a guy named Vic for 95% of it. He was just amazing, super clear and helpful and always guided me through everything when he saw something was wrong. A very knowledgeable man. But there was this women who was super disrespectful, always on her phone and talking to people. I was basically her uber. Lucky for me it was only for my first lesson than Vic came along and made my experience great!

Rachelle Burns

Anyone that is looking for a professional, fun, and also positive experience learning to drive this is it. I’m 39 years young and decided it was time to gain some more freedom. My instructor Abdi was amazing. Made my confidence grow with every lesson. I managed to pass the first time and had the confidence to drive alone the first day after passing my test. If I could give ten stars I would. Worth every dollar and pricing was fair. Always on time no cancellations. Trust me you won’t have any regrets.

Amy Yip

Passed my road test 1st try thanks to Adam! The driving lessons were sooo helpful.

irwan ahmad isnin

Adam is a great instructor. Calm, compose and exprienced. Cahmpion Driving school is well received by the local community. Humble and very friendly. Most importantly, the quality of the driving class and on the road is fun and stress free.

Jacqueline Rheault

I had some driving experience before taking lessons here, but Mohamed and Adam taught me parking skills such as uphill & downhill parking, parallel parking and regular parking which I didn't know how to do before. My driving skills also improved after my lessons.

mehar tabassum

I would highly recommend Champion Driving School. My instructor was Mr. Adam who helped me from start to finish and very well guided me with techniques used in parallel parking , uphill , downhill parking and whatever needed to pass the driving test. I had a great experience with school and instructor.
