AMA’s New Driver Program teaches new drivers the key driving skills that can be difficult to learn without professionally developed programs and time in-car with a licensed driving instructor. As Alberta’s most trusted Driver Training School, AMA provides the confidence needed for drivers to set them up for success.

Instruction hours include 18 hours of the most up-to-date and interactive training in the industry either in-class, or online. AMA prepares new drivers for their in-car lessons through hands-on activities and interactive content for a proactive (rather than defensive) approach to driving.

What You’ll Learn

  • Videos that simplify and explain the rules of the road.
  • Demonstrations like proper steering wheel positioning.
  • Fun group activities like wearing goggles to simulate impaired driving.
  • Multi-tasking exercises to demonstrate the impact of distracted driving.
  • 15 hours online or 18 hours virtual classroom and 10 hours in-vehicle (5-2 hour sessions).

Additional in-car driving packages available. Costs, dates and times vary depending on program.

This is for a program in Calgary. My son had no issue with the in-class portion. The problems are all with the in-car driving instruction program. It took forever to get started. Any cancellation on their part pushes you farther back in a huge wait to get this program finished. Even if the instructors are trying to help out it is within a bogged down system that is understaffed so there's not much they can do. They have obviously booked far too many people for lessons without the instructors to finish the job. If you sign up for this program you are potentially signing up for a very frustrating experience. This is a badly resourced service that in my opinion ruins the AMAs reputation. I do not recommend especially for the high price they charge.

I had a 14 hours split into a 7 day course with Sandeep. On my first day he helped me conquer most of my fears of driving. I absolutely love his technique, and teaching style. His patience and encouragement was above and beyond what I expected.
It was 110% worth taking this course with Ama and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate via mail for successfully passing this course. On my last day he gave me a brush up lesson for what to expect, so that I was prepared for my drivers test scheduled for later that day. He let me know when I was ready to take the road test and to get it booked in advance. I passed yaay! In total I've driven 12 days, and I want to thank Sandeep for all the knowlage, skills and confidence he helped me gain in such a short time-frame. I will continue to improve my driving skills with what I've attained from Sandeep so far. I would recommend this course and Sandeep Sarvte as the instructor to absolutely anyone who is young or old, who would like to successfully gain the knowledge, experience and their license.
