National Truck Driving School Downtown MTL. Guy. C

Overall a great driving school. Sure, the theory classes were quite boring, with a lot of emphasis on young men being dangerous drivers, but that's not the fault of the school. There was one instructor who was sometimes quite rude and would repeat the same horrifying stories of how people she knew had died in traffic accidents, but as far as I know she is not working there anymore.For the most part I had the same driving instructor for the practice sessions, Karen. He was really great! He was really nice, patient and realised that he needed to give me independence to enable me to become a good driver. Take classes with him if you can!The secretary, Roya, is super helpful, accommodating and very friendly. She will try her best to cater to your schedule.I would say that, excluding the theory classes, it was a fun experience!

Had a great experience here with the hands-on driving classes. The in course sessions were standard and nothing exceptional, but driving instructor Karen is the main reason this school merits a 5 star review. Great experience with an insightful and brilliant instructor. Looked forward to every driving session. Highly recommend Karen for the driving lessons; unparalleled in teaching capabilities.

My mother got her driver licence from national driving school with good experience (20 Year’s a ago). Then my older sister went to national driving school 2 Year’s ago, base on their experiences and recommendation I registered to national on last summer so far I don’t have any problem.Theory lecture they do what government requires even du is use less. Because it is repetitive subject. Other then that management is very precise. So don’t miss any driving course.

This school is funny. They have both good instructors who are very helpful and experienced and instructors who are not punctual and not helpful. The in class sessions for me, were good up until level 6 after that they are a waste of time, but mandatory. My advice is to keep your class schedule organized make sure you know what you've completed and when the next session is happening.

I don't often give this level of praise to many establishments: this school taught me not only how to drive well, but how to live well (cheesy but truthful: I hope no one is lactose intolerant). Karen is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. The man will convey a lifetime's worth of driving tips and behaviors with perfect ease and concision. I highly recommend this school.

Good school, very accommodating to your situation. They gave me some remedial lessons to get used to driving on the right side of the road and on the ice. Avoid the German instructor who claims to have many years of experience, he doesn't take into account your requests. The other instructors are honestly fantastic. The test is all about being confident. After a serious set of nervous tests, the instructor Karen boosted confidence in my driving ability so I passed the test!

Im not usually one to take the time to write a review, but this school deserves a serious +A for their kindness & persistence. As a fashion model, I deal with many international contracts & am required to leave the city for months at a time. When signing up with NDS, I was hesitant that because of my job, I'd fall behind on the courses, get completely off track & unmotivated. Lucky for me, I chose the right school! The National Driving school team never hesitated to help me out. They kept me organized, up to date with my courses while I traveled and were incredibly understanding. They really have their students best interest & the money spent for this course goes a long way. Finally! (To all those who have gave up on driving- it's never too late- they will make it fun, easy and successful)After reading all of the reviews for this school- the one thing I've noticed is people a bit unsatisfied about not being able to take the courses they want-when they want- but there is a course schedule that's published every month that makes it super easy for us to attend any class we choose.NDS, thank you so much for your kindness & patience. I wouldn't recommend any other driving school in Montreal!Betta

National Driving school was honestly a blessing for me.At first, I completed phase one of my driving test at Technic. I then graduated, and moved to Ottawa to pursue my studies. I contacted the school informing them of my situation, and when I spoke with them, they told me the owner was on vacation until mid June (2012).. Trying to organize my schedule to come back on weekends to finish my courses in this new law was a disaster..I started looking around for alternatives. I found National Driving school on de Maisonneuve. They bent themselves backwards to help me finish my course.. I'm not one to take time to write reviews, but these people really deserve it. I would do all the courses I can following the new rules, then they would help me schedule my next class. They even had instructors stay later, do extra hours to take me on my in-car session to help me out since I would only be in town for a short time.I took my written exam yesterday morning at 10h40 am, passed it and scheduled an in car exam which, luckily for me, a spot was free this morning at 11h50, so I jumped on the occasion. I immediately called the National Driving school telling them I about the exam the next day because I hadn't completed the phase 15, the final hour in car!!They reassured me, told me we could work it out. They had one of their instructors stay an extra hour to give me the course! I walked out of there with my attestation stamped and ready for the exam, which everyone told me to beware of tricks and tons of nonsense. I passed my exam first try right here in Montreal, no tricks, no catches.. Just drove as I had any other passenger, maybe a tad slower.. 39 in a 40 zone for example. Everything else was just natural, stops, signs, lane changes.I want to personally thank not only the school for helping me with my schedule, but also their instructors for making this possible. We've had great discussions while driving, good laughs and everyone is very patient. I always was a calm person, but I don't think anyone could stress driving with these instructors.Kind regards, Mathieu

Good driving school, had great experience and I just passed today on my 1st attempt at henry bourrasa.Mohammed is very ponctual and his prices are very affordable.I highly recommend this school to the future drivers.

Great Class 1 school, and great guy ( Mohammad) director, to have him as your instructor.He taught me all the tricks and short cuts,, I was able to get my class 1 licence at the 1st time. I HIGHLY recommend him, to every one, who's seeking Class 1 permit.
