I can't say enough good things about Saferway Driver Training School. The owner and instructors have a massive range of experience in every aspect of driving. I did my class 1 training with them, and although they are strict with their students, they always keep you safe on the road and give you the confidence you need to succeed. If you're thinking of upgrading your driving skills, I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else!

The course runs 3 days, Alberta does it in 1 including the exam. This is due to ICBC regulations, so it's not Saferways fault, but I did assume that because their course was longer and more expensive, I would get more out of it. Instead, they spread the same information out over 3 days and filled the blanks with stories and inside jokes only "good ole truckers" would understand. It was actually ridiculous. I would've learned more just reading the commercial driving manual for 3 days.The stories were non stop and usually loosely related or completely off topic. Also, he would encourage us to ask questions, but then act condescending when we didn't know answers or asked a question that was obvious to him. My examiner was great, but my instructor blew a lot of hot air. I just wanted to learn what I need to know for the practical and ICBC exam. All the other crap was waste of time.

Best gig I've ever had. Should have gotten into this years ago! The right attitude will take you a long way.
