Columbia Drivers Training Center (CDTC)

Extremely unprofessional. The Instructor was nice but gave very little actual instruction. He just told me to drive around a parking lot over and over again to practice without actually actively teaching me anything. They cancelled lessons on me and when I asked to stop my lessons and receive a refund on my remaining lessons that I had paid for, the instructor ghosted me.

Everyone here is welcoming and very nice. I was nervous trying to get my Class 3 license, considering it was my first time driving a truck and a manual transmission. I appreciate the immense patience of the instructor, Peter, and his helpful advices. He did not discourage me once, even with my awful handling of the truck. I managed to get my Class 3 after couple of attempts and never been happier to receive it. I would recommend this place to anyone considering to get their commercial license.

Very professional and experienced trainers! All the staff is very welcoming and helpful. Thanks to them, I passed my exam on my first try. I highly recommend you to come here as they are flexible, affordable and genuine.

Peter is awesome. The BEST instructor in the world. Donna is really helpful. Even in COVID-19 situation she helped me a-lot. Jag Dhillon is great with his deep knowledge about truck. Thanks for helping me.

i was excited because they had a great package deal. Little did i know i was being ripped off. The instructor for the free evaluation was good and i expected someone the same to help teach me for my lessons. instead i got someone who just kept saying i was a good driver and did not pay attention i almost could have ran over someone. i asked for the first instructor for a lesson and he said on the road that i needed wayyyy more practice and i was like what the hell.. i only had one more lesson left. i wanted a refund because the road test they promised for the package deal could not be booked. they could only book it somewhere else another city not where i learned the route for my lessons. they said if i wanted a spot for the route i learned i had to go early everyday to see if there were any cancellations. that was not described at the beginning and i wanted refund and they did not give me. i was extremely disappointed and also to get back at me for not paying for the last two lessons they somehow booked a road test for me and i was fined $40+ dollars for missing it and i was not aware of it at all, they never informed me. stay away from this driving school.

I had an excellent experience taking a course at Columbia Driver Training Centre. Peter is one of the most professional driving instructors I have ever met. Will be coming back for more training and referring my friends and family to this business! A+

Peter and Donna are simply awesome. Peter is very professional, patient and always supportive. Although this was for my class 1, I will definitely recommend my kids go see CDTC when the time comes over the next couple of years. The simulator was a great experience and provides confidence and allows to learn in total safety. The air brake course was easy to follow and understand with all the component boards available to help with the learning. Great job and keep it up. Many Thanks

Best place to train. Instructors have many years of experience and you get consistency of instructors. Not a different person and different truck every lesson. Rates are fair! Highly recommend

You guys are awesome. Number of reasons make you guys best in the town . 1- communication is super convenient I can bet you cannot have better experience in terms of communication with driving school. 2- instructors are amazing. They will make you master in shifting Though I passed in second attempt but in first one there was no truck related mistake . 3 very well maintained truck .

Unfortunately my personal opinion is this school is not a place to prepare new drivers in MELT class 1 training, I left to another school and learned a lesson not to rely on icbc website for MELT approved schools. Owner/instructor can accommodate you to another school further away if you aren't satisfied but that can just lead to another risky time waste.
