NORSED Driving School

I took my air brakes course and commercial driver training on a 18speed through this school, I passed my road test first try with 0 demerits. John and Rob were the best instructors I’ve ever had for anything, they are very friendly and calm especially when I’ve never driven a manual semi before. I constantly recommend Norsed to anybody that’s looking to get a standard drivers license all the way up to a commercial or taxi. Thank you again.

I Got my class 3 a week ago through Norsed driving school as well as my air brakes endorsement a couple years back. both Ron and Des are some of the most kind and professional people I have met in this industry. I would highly recommend this driving school for any commercial license. Nothing but great things I have experienced and heard through other people about their school!!!

Ron, Des and Steve provided excellent training for my Air Brakes Endorsement. I came into the class on Friday night knowing zero about how air brakes work. At the end of the next day I passed the assessment and feel like I have the knowledge needed to move forward in the real world, with a focus on safety.The main instructor Steve's teaching style was great and very polished. Despite having a very methodical approach to the subject matter, he was always happy to take time out to answer questions. He would also defer to Ron when it came to really technical questions some people had that only a mechanic could answer.They have a fully functional air brake system on the wall using real components, laid out to where they go on a truck. This is extremely helpful for understanding how it all works.Highly recommend this school for the Air Brakes Endorsement, and from everything I saw, the rest of their courses would be of similar quality.

Wow...that is all I can say about Ron and Des and the Norsed driving school. From day one you are greeted with a smile from Des at registration which was all painless. I had the privilege of Ron as my instructor and he is an excellent teacher. I was doing my class two and he made doubly sure I was prepared for my road test in which i indeed did pass. Ron is a guy who enjoys life and a few laughs which make the education process a lot easier and a lot more fun!I highly recommend Norsed for your driver training 100%!!

I used Norsed to attain my Class 3. I must say that the Owners Ron and Des are both absolutely fantastic people, they were flexible and accommodating, they have a wealth of knowledge stemming from decades of being in the driving business and are clearly passionate about sharing their experience with new drivers in all classes. Des and Ron are both very kind and patient and it is clear they care deeply about all their students. My lasting experience with some of their other instructors (Jon and Justin) were very positive as well. I would strongly recommend anyone to this driving school and if I choose to someday upgrade my own license, I would absolutely use Norsed again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

At 41, it was time for me to become a driver. As reluctant as I was about it, I knew that with living in the country, I had to be able to drive. My partner signed me up for some driving lessons with Norsed, and upon first going into the office and meeting Des, I immediately felt relief. She's so friendly, and knowledgeable. I got my first lessons booked right away, and they were able to easily work with my schedule. My first lessons with Ron were fantastic. He is a very patient man!! Always positive and helped me work through my fears and anxiety about driving, while making sure I was understanding the rules of the road. I passed my road test with flying colours and have a new sense of freedom. These lessons were absolutely the catalyst for me being able to pass my test and be a confident driver. Absolutely life changing, I 100% recommend them!! Also, the road test car was fantastic.

Had an excellent opportunity to upgrade my Class 3 Manual license through this company. They offered flexible driving lessons and gave great instruction throughout. An awesome team to work around and with. Couldn't recommend a better school to do your driver training on Vancouver Island.

From the get go, Des and Ron went above and beyond to accommodate my Class 3 training and ICBC test on very short notice and on a tight completion schedule. I would highly recommend this company. I drove up from Victoria for my 6 classes, my final test day and with the confidence Ron instilled in me I easily passed my tests today. Don’t look any further, book your test with this amazing company now, you won’t regret it. Thank you Norsed

Fantastic!The staff at NORSED are passionate about learning and understanding to the differenT learning styles, of all who attend their classes.Steve (air brakes instructor) is the life of the classroom, keeping things fun and engaging each one of us throughout the course. He helped me with my personal challenges around learning and I was successful in my course.Thank you NORSED, and thank you Steve!

Got my automatic class 3 from Norsed after seeing so many positive reviews. Des and Ron have a fantastic school. Whichever license you are looking for you will be more than prepared for your test. Would recommend to anyone.
