South Trail Driving School

I've had great success on my class 5 (non-GDL) driver's license whilst under South trail driving school. Learning from one of their awesome instructors, Peter Jones, he was able to teach me how to drive safely according to Canadian (Alberta) traffic laws. He was interactive and always provided useful pointers during our lessons. After 3 brush-up lessons, I was able to obtain my class 5 driver's license on the first try. Thank you, Peter!

We had an excellent experience at this driving school! I would highly recommend it! The owner was very responsive, and professional. My son particularly enjoyed Andy Bakshi as a driving instructor. He learned a tremendous amount and he passed his test on the first try! The online modules are also very well done and extremely convenient to complete at home.

Andy Bakshi did a great job teaching our son safe driving skills. Developed a positive rapport and was thorough with instruction. Our son passed on his first attempt and is very focused on safe driving. Highly recommend.

Great communication between owner and my instructor. To drive in winter is tedious enough to just think about let alone learn how to drive! But, my instructor Peter was very patient and and strongly communicated all do’s and don’t’s of the road. I will recommend this driving school and instructor to whoever may need! Thanks for getting me a pass with flying colours!

I needed to find a good driving school for a few brush up lessons in order to prepare for my Class 5 Exam.This is when I found Mr.Nelson and South Train Driving School.If I’ll say that my experience was amazing - I won’t be saying enough.Mr. Nelson was extremely helpful, friendly while keeping a professional attitude, attentive, and from the first lesson it was obvious that his goal is to make sure that I become a careful, safe and respectful driver.Despite a minor language barrier (English is not my first language) his instructions were always very clear, and he explained everything in a simple, yet effective manner.When he noticed my mistake, Mr.Nelson not only corrected them, he explained in a great example what could this mistake lead to, and what is the best way to mentally overcome the habit and best way to act in such cases.I passed my class 5 exam in first try, and 90% of it is thanks to Mr. Nelson and his guidance (10% I’ll dedicate to myself being a good student :)))) ).Thank you Mr. Nelson and I hope to see you again!!!

Had the greatest experience with Okotoks driving school. Peter is an amazing instructor, helping you to learn and grow along the way. Super friendly, kind, patient, etc. Also great interactions with the owner, Nelson. I would 10/10 recommend taking drivers education through this company.

In my opinion, Okotoks-South Trail schools is one of the most successful schools in Calgary. I have a very good experience with these schools, they helped me a lot to understand and practice the driving rules. My sincere appreciation to Okotoks-South Trail Schools for everything.Sincerely

I’ve took lessons from a previous driving instructor, and they weren’t that good, hard to understand and didn’t inform on certain rules that would’ve helped on the road test. However with Southtrail I found it the complete opposite, Peter, my driving instructor was very clear and informed me on everything about driving for both road test and for the road afterwards. He is very patient and understands most strategies I used compared to the previous one. And the road test instructor was just as nice, to not make it as nerve wracking. I would highly recommend this place for anyone and even for those who may be nervous to take on driving for the first time!

My son completed his driving lessons and obtained his driver’s license on his first attempt. His instructor was Andy…the feedback that I received from my son was that Andy is knowledgeable, thorough with the content throughout the lessons and very calm/patient with his in car instruction. We also needed our driver training certificate right away for insurance. Nelson did everything that he could to ensure we got it in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Andy as an instructor as well as Nelson at Southtrail Driving School.
