I did a package of 6 lessons with Kevin and a single lesson with Jay. I could not recommend lessons with this company enough. They were very friendly and gave instructions in a very calm and collected way. I never felt like I was being rushed or pressured to make quick decisions, they always offered strategies to make decisions more organically. I passed my driving test today and I owe it to them for giving me the skills to become a confident driver! Thank you!

Having put two teenagers through lessons, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DriveWise in Victoria to anyone looking for a driving school. Both of my kids completed the Essentials Package with classroom learning, 8 in car lessons and the road test package. Instructors Andrew and Louis treated them with kindness and understanding when they were feeling nervous and ensured that they were confident and safe drivers. Both of my kids were well prepared for their road tests and I had the confidence that they were ready to be behind the wheel unsupervised.

My experience with DriveWise Victoria has been nothing short of fantastic. My daughter went through the Graduated Licensing Program and just finished her final lesson today. She has transformed from a very nervous driver to one fully competent and fully confident.
I can’t say enough positive comments about instructor Helen, who has been so patient and friendly with my daughter. If anyone reading this has any doubts, please know that you/your teen are in very good hands. Helen is so knowledgeable, communicative, and an all around good person. Most importantly, she taught my daughter how to be an excellent driver, which gives me a lot of comfort as I am soon to watch her drive away without me beside her. Helen, thank you for everything!
My daughter will be taking her road test in Nanaimo and will be meeting with Jamie for a warm up drive before her test. I’ve been in touch with Jamie to introduce myself and, like Helen, I can’t gush enough. Jamie has decades of experience and he truly knows his stuff. Also, like Helen, just a really nice person.
As a single parent, it’s hard to pay thousands of dollars for anything but this is one that I will never regret. Truly, it was worth every penny.

I passed my road test last Monday, and my experience with DriveWise during the lessons leading up to it was amazing. They were great at accommodating to my schedule, which I really appreciated.
The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and provided a lot of useful tips that were critical on my test.
Starting with Andy Farintosh, who gave an excellent introduction to the vehicle, followed by Adam Gabrielsson, who fine-tuned my skills with constructive feedback and extra material and examples to make sure I was fully prepared. Finally, on the day of the test, Alex Peden made everything feel relaxed during the warm-up lesson, which helped me a lot.
I truly appreciate the effort, and I’m very happy with the service I received!

My son had great success with Drivewise. The program met all of my expectations and Jamie (his instructor) was outstanding. Not only was he professional, but he was kind, patient and genuinely cared about my son's success. I would recommend this program to anyone. It's well worth the cost.
