DriveWise BC

My daughter had a wonderful experience with Drivewise! She had Ken and Andrea and they would super helpful preparing my daughter for her roadtest. Andrea took my daughter out the day before her roadtest to do a mock roadtest and to go over the final things she might want to practice. She also took her out right before the test for a warmup. Andrea was so clear, comprehensive, kind and has a true passion for teaching new drivers and it really shows. My daughter gained a lot of confidence behind the wheel with all the kind support she got from Andrea and felt very prepared for the roadtest due to the clear instruction she got from Andrea. She passed her roadtest with ease on her first attempt. Thank you Drivewise!

I had the wonderful experience of working with Llyod (Victoria location) and just received my N yesterday thanks to his guidance, teachings, and support. He's a great spirited individual who helped me get more comfortable with being in traffic and provided useful strategies/techniques so that I could park with confidence. I am grateful that I was able to learn from him.The only issue I had was when I got put with a different instructor for just one lesson. The way they instructed me to park wasn't the way I'd initially learned, so I was thrown off and confused from there on out when it came to that particular skill. If I had to do it again, I'd make sure that I'd be working with the same instructor each lesson. That way I wouldn't have any kind of conflicting information.Thanks again!

This is Ali from Victoria! I've got my full license (class 5) yesterday! A BIG thank you to my lovely instructors Ken Todd and Helen. You're doing great... lots of tips and driving experiences I got from them! The reception staff are lovely and kind, accurate and fast... Best of luck and success for all of you! <3

Orion and Shane were excellent instructors! They were both friendly and made driving fun! I highly recommend that new drivers take the Theory Class and in Car Lessons from Drive Wise, because thanks to them I passed my N Test with flying colors.

I passed my road test thanks to Drive Wise! The school that should have rent me a car stood me up, but a helpful instructor from Drive Wise noticed me at the ICBC parking lot and offered help. Rent me a car 5 minutes before my road test! Thank you so so much!

It is quite expensive to go through the program. There were several switches of the instructor through out the program. Some instructors where good and had lots of experience some others not. The last instructor indicated my daughter was ready for the drivers test after instructing her only a couple times. Needless to say she failed the drivers test and needs to take it again (and pay the fee again). The instructor said we could pay drivewise an additional fee to continue the instruction and have them take my daughter to the test again. Here is the rub.... they have no incentive to make sure students are ready for the drivers test. In fact it is in their financial interest if the student fails and needs more instruction. The instructors need to have the experience to know if a student is ready for the drivers test. They need something like a guarantee that says they will instruct a student until they pass the drivers test and pay for additional tests if the student fails.

If you’re looking for the best driving school in Canada… you’ve found it! Both Shane and Kelsey are brilliant instructors. They are both patient, calm and very professional. I was very nervous to get on the road but after the course and the great lessons from Shane and Kelsey, I passed my test first time! As my main instructor, Shane helped build my confidence up and calmed those last minute nerves just before my road test! Thank you to Shane, Kelsey and the back office team - you guys have such an important role in making the roads much safer and you do it so well.

I passed my Road Test today, thanks to my instructor, Shane Sitwell. My experience with DriveWise was amazing, as Shane taught me how to be both confident and safe on the road. He gave me clear, constructive feedback on how to improve my driving and offered tips that made me a safe driver (which is exactly what I needed). Not only was Shane a fantastic teacher, but he was also great to chat with in the car, which eased my stress going into my lessons. I’d recommend DriveWise to anyone and everyone, as my experience has changed my perspectives while driving and I have learned SO much in such little time. Thank you DriveWise for all of your help!!

After my stroke and losing partial vision I retrained with Drivewise and passed both tests and regained my driving privileges . I’m glad to see you use the safest cars to do your training with now. Thank you Drivewise.

I had an AMAZING experience. My instructor, Ralphy, was so supportive and helped me understand the rules of the road. He was very patient, kind, and helped me build my confidence to become a new driver. All the thanks are to him, and if you get Ralphy, you'll have a great time with some good laughs:)))
