Reviews of First Drivers Driving School (Driving School)

Peachy Paula

Worst experience ever! Currently looking for a new driving school to enroll in because I didn't learn anything in the in-car lessons. The instructor picked me up for my lessons late and would drop me off before the 1 hour mark which lead to me to not have a total of 10 hours in the end, I was about 2 hours short. Would NOT recommended.

Great teaching environment . Very helpful for new immigrants.

Very attentive and informative instructor. Kind but firm and clear when it comes to instructions. Hands-on class times are flexible for people who have difficult schedules. Would recommend to anyone who is a first time driver, or otherwise!

Great experience! Instructor was very thorough!! When I did my driving test I aced it and the examiner mentioned that he thought I must have went to a good school because I drove very well! I told him " I did , I went to First Drivers!"

It's a pretty good driving school

The Instruction is great, as is in many other places. The in-class instruction is just short of being monotonous (but that is how it is everywhere). The in-car instruction is great, its detailed, easy to understand, and encourages confidence. The problem with them is that in the 7 classes I have taken with them, they have been on time for maybe 3, and cancelled 1, 5 minutes before class. They have a habit of calling you up and asking you to concede to shift your allotted time - usually because of a disorganized affair in their books. They will also arrive 10-20 minutes late for class. The one hour class is usually 45 minutes long. Be aware of this cancelling-the-class gimmick - if you confront them about your requirement to have a little bit of practice everyday (instead of squeezing 2-3 hours of class the day before the test because they missed classes before), before the test - their reply will be "All I can say is "I am sorry", you can do whatever you want, I cant come today." If those things dont fall across your way , the lessons are worth the price.

First Drivers is really great. I passed my G2 license exam with a breeze because of their excellent tutorials. I highly reccomend it.

Wonderful experience overall with the instructor Al. Despite giving them a very short notice before the test, they were able to schedule some lessons as well as provide accommodations to get to the test center. Al provided clear and concise instructions while maintaining a professional and friendly attitude. I passed my G2 test with only 2 lessons. I highly recommend First Drivers, especially Mr. Al, for all those looking to pass their test. Thanks!

Great driving school, signed up for MTO and driving classes. MTO classes are well taught by Al, he mentions many interesting points that would otherwise be not mentioned in the videos. The driving lessons are very useful, Al mentioned all the questions that are asked in the actual tests and trains you where you'll be giving the test. He can also judge very quickly how much time you need to get ready for classes. Would definitely recommend this driving school to drivers of any experience. You're bound to learn something.

So I went a few weeks ago. I had a fantastic time. Honestly speaking, I enjoyed my time. The instructor has a funny accent but not hard to understand. The videos are old but effective. Yea the in class does get dry, but I mean every type of class is like that. I think they do much more than the actual cost of the course. They treated me very well. Coming to the incar lessons. I was told that the car lessons were not 1 hour over the phone but we're 45 mins. I think the other schools I went to have the same thing there too though. The instructor taught me exactly what I needed to pass the test. He didn't waste time in just doing whatever. All my parkings were spot on on like lesson 8. The cherry on top was the pass. I passed the first time. Honestly, I don't know why people are hating on this school. By far it's cheaper and easier to pass with this school. I give it a 5/5.

I was very nervous about driving before these classes but I ended up passing! Instructor was great, very repetitive so I could keep the great tips that he told me in my head. Very accommodating and a great man overall! Highly recommend.

Do NOT go here!!! I don't know why they have good reviews on here. To start, the classes are simply 20 year old outdated videos playing while the instructor is in the other room talking on the phone. Every class was cut early so we didn't get the amount of hours or learning we paid for, though the kids loved that. The in car instructions were all wrong, the lady instructor told me I don't have to look at my rear view mirror when driving which is obviously WRONG. The in car lessons were supposed to be an hour long and often time they'd end up being only 30 minutes long! He wouldn't keep track of how many I had and would never check if I had my license with me. The worst part is, is that they wanted me to use their car so bad, they used my information to cancel the test I'd booked to change it to a date where I could rent their car (for an absurd amount of money). When I didn't want to do so, he was okay with it but when I showed up to my driving exam THERE WASN'T EVEN ONE BOOKED. I was told that someone cancelled my exam but never rescheduled it...when Al specifically gave me a new date and time ...it was beyond frustrating to go to this driving school, I absolutely do not recommend it to anyone. I just wanted to make sure people had an honest review of this place, to clearify I went to the one in Mississauga. The other ones may be good because it may be run by someone else, but this place is just a mess, it's cheaper but for a reason, don't waste your money.

jake tomlison

MTO classes are well taught by Al, he mentions many interesting points that would otherwise be not mentioned in the videos, and makes their dry material less boring. The driving lessons came in handy, Al mentioned all the questions that are asked in the actual tests and trains you on them till you remember them very well. He also trains you wherever you'll be giving the test. He can judge very quickly how much time you need to get ready for the final test and will train you accordingly. Would definitely recommend this driving school to drivers of any experience. You're bound to learn something new.

Great experience with the instructor and money well spent for me ????

This place is a joke!, DO NOT GO THERE. We booked one road lesson, instructor came late more than one hour, they never call to tell they are late!, when we complain they sent someone!. After arriving late, there was a student in the car still practicing, then she drove to her whom, and I start to drive for 20 minutes and instructor said time is up? its supposed to be 45 minutes not 20 minutes, what a steal! During the driving lesson, the instructor was on the phone talking to his friends, very careless attitude. After complaining to their supervisor, he promised to call the instructor and come back to me with compensation, guess what, he never did.

They really helped me learn how to lane change, three point turn, parallel park and reverse park. I passed my G2 Test in Guelph very easily.

Andrea Tenedero

The drivers are friendly! The costs are worth it! Five stars all the way!

Rimsha S.

The instructor makes you sign all the time slots and then doesn’t give you the amount of lessons you paid for. She also makes you pay 200 for 1 extra lesson. Huge rip off, I would suggest going with ultimate drivers or some other driving school company.

Shivanka Udamalwaththa

My instructor Sameen was amazing. I love her style of teaching. She gives you the freedom to learn and grow and teaches you skills that will help you even after your driving test. I managed to pass my G2 test in my first attempt, all credits to my amazing instructor.
