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!

DriveWise helped me to overcome what was once an extreme source of anxiety for me and helped turn driving into something that I now love to do!! I am so glad I decided to get lessons from them! I have learned skills that I will value for the rest of my life from kind, caring, and thoughtful instructors. Thanks so much DriveWise :)

Shout out to DriveWise BC!! I took my course in 2009, and now live in LA. Today I was rear-ended during my hour-long commute to work, but thanks to DriveWise for teaching me some handy evasive maneuvers I walked away with minimal injuries. The instincts my in-car instructor drilled in to me took over during the accident - hard to believe almost ten years later these skills saved my life. For anyone out there who thinks driving lessons are a waste of money - THINK AGAIN! These lessons could save your life someday. 5/5, would absolutely take again.

Hello Drivewise! Well, I passed my 'N' road test today! I want to extend my sincere thanks to Jennifer, Jay and Sherif for their enthusiasm in the classroom (even early on a Saturday morning). Jen covered so much and really reinforced good, safe guidelines into my head before I had any in-car lessons. And, of course, huge thanks to Brenda! I had already been driving for over a year, but Brenda's lessons surpassed my expectations. She was punctual, well-spoken, calm, and very fun to drive with. Thank you all!
