    I would highly recommend Drive Wise because the in class and car lessons kept my teenager engaged and excited for each lesson. It’s not very often a teen … More looks forward to attending a learning environment, however he found the staff relatable and more importantly very funny! He was surprisingly sad that his in car lessons were over. He would have loved to hang out with Johnny Lee for longer but he successfully obtained his G2 and completed his goals with Johnny. Worth every penny!

    Had an amazing experience with my two instructors: Bill Bolton and Johnny Le. Both of these instructors were extremely patient. Both bring an amazing amount … More of knowledge to the table and are very passionate about what they do. Johnny in particular is always full of energy and goes above and beyond to help his students. He even created YouTube videos to map out the potential road test routes for his prospective students. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    I do highly recommend, mostly Ryan who is patient, knowledgeable and very good instructor. The whole team is very good but having worked with Ryan I can … More say that I have been well trained and prepared for my G2. Got it on my first try.
    Thanks a lot
    Keep it up!

    I would like to say how impressed I am with this driving school and my son’s instructor Ryan. My son Nicholas has Autism and decide to pursue his drivers … More licence. From the time he was in classroom to on the road instruction. Ryan went above and beyond in my opinion and worked with him to accommodate and make him feel comfortable. I would highly recommend them for any young driver. Thank you to everyone who helped Nicholas in his achievement.

    I'd like to thank everyone at DriveWise for their expertise and knowledge. I took the week long DZ course followed with 3 in cab training sessions … More and have nothing but good things to say. They throw a lot at you and see what sticks but wouldn't have it any other way. I passed my roadtest and now driving around a garbage truck for GFL environmental. Special thanks to Dave for the in class lessons, and John and a different Dave for the in cab lessons. Everyone was top notch.
    Keep the rubber on the road.
    Cheers

    Fabulous group here! I went in for my AZ license with ZERO knowledge and came out feeling well prepared to drive a truck. The team is made up of people … More with various training styles which is very helpful and they want their students to succeed. And this is one of ONLY 6 schools in Ontario approved by the Canadian Government for government funded truck driver training. There is an obvious reason for that! From the front desk, through the classroom, on the simulators and out to the trucks, I had nothing but great experiences. Thank you DriveWise/KnowledgeSurge!

    The team here has been amazing however especially Alyssa the scheduling co-ordinator. I cannot imagine how she keeps all the kids, locations and commitments … More straight as a mom I struggle. She communicated clearly, was kind and always offered solutions. Thanks so Alyssa.
