Valley Driving School

Valley Driving School came highly recommended by a friend of mine, and will always be highly recommended by me. I aced the classroom portion, but was very nervous and uncertain behind the wheel during my in cab instruction classes. I don't think I was quite prepared for how unnerving driving a loaded rig through congested cities during rush hour, or down winding mountain roads was going to be and my instructors all sensed my nervousness and were amazing at trying to calm and reassure me.

Everyone I encountered during my MELT programme treated me and every other student I saw with complete respect (and there were a couple of students that in my opinion might not have deserved it), exhibited a LOT of patience, and could not have been more supportive. I told my wife two weeks before my road test that I was feeling 50/50 about my chances of passing on my first attempt, and my instructors worked HARD to support me and get me to believe in myself and despite having a terrible night's sleep the night before, having horrible indigestion the morning of, and feeling because of my exhaustion and angst that I was close to having an anxiety attack on the drive in to my road test lol, I passed it on my first attempt. These people are AWESOME!!!!

Also, unlike what the one star review guy indicated - they were super flexible with me and my schedule and even rescheduled a couple of my classes so that I could attend my annual four day golf trip with my friends. If I could give them more than five starts I would!!

I would like to thank Alice, Cindy, Carmel, Dennis, Ben, Rob and Terry for their awesome lesson to pass my Class 1 great team amazing place to learn!

I choose the school based on reputation and recommendations. I certainly made the right choice. The Air Brake Course was outstanding. My Instructor Mr Deen made it fun & easy to understand. His extensive knowledge of Air Brakes was a definite plus. I can't say enough about my Instructor. He made a sometimes nervous, and anxious student feel at ease and comfortable. He answered all my questions in an easy to understanding manner. He made the whole experience highly enjoyable and he made me feel very confident in my abilities. And guess what I passed my knowledge test 95%. So I decided to take my class 1 lessons form Valley driving.
