EXCELLENT Based on 248 reviews Posted on Hunar AroraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started learning how to drive from absolute scratch, and choosing Brave Driving School for it was one of my best decisions. I genuinely appreciate how thoughtfully the Full Driving Course is structured. From the engaging online videos to the well-planned in-car lessons, everything is designed to actually help you understand driving and not just pass a test. Coach James is fantastic! He is so calm, patient, and truly present and supportive throughout the entire process. I feel confident as a defensive driver now and would definitely recommend Brave to anyone looking to build a strong foundation for driving!Posted on Laura PublicoverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a beginner’s license for 10 years, and have been an overly anxious driver/passenger my whole life. Coach Phoenix is an incredible instructor and led me to pass my test on the first try with zero points. Many people have tried (and failed) to teach me to drive and she was very efficient and detailed. Cannot recommend this program enough.Posted on Ben HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience with Brave Driver Training and Coach Phoenix! I achieved a perfect score on my road test and would recommend!Posted on aditya mandlikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my Drivers test with Mr. James from Brave Driver Training. I took 1 session before my test. James is an exceptionally brilliant trainer! We took our first drive explaining all the basic concepts, reached back to the location and emphasised on the details using his whiteboard, had another drive as the examiner, and I have never felt so ready for the test. I’d highly recommend James from Brave Training.Posted on Oliver YusufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just awesome! I had a great experience with Brave Driver Training. I live in downtown so my instructor was Coach James. I had sessions with other instructors too and they are really good as well. However, I was trained mostly by James and he is awesome. He is friendly, extremely patient, and gives good tips in such a way you’ll never forget. I just passed my road test today by God’s grace, in first attempt and the examiner said ‘you’re a good driver’ which made me feel like nobody else but Brave Driver Training could prepare me for this. I highly recommend Brave, they have good, clear, and easy to understand educational videos and quizzes and the course is easy to follow and enjoyable. Now I have to go celebrate with my friend so I’m stopping writing. ThanksPosted on stephane ndi mvondoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I greatly recommend this driving school to anyone. The instructor was patient and professional, that makes me being more comfortable. The explanations were clear, the dialogue was one of the core components of the learning. We practiced many times and overtime to be sure I'm ready. It was a great experience.Posted on dreydenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very great to work with very understanding Almost got a perfect score highly recommendPosted on danica abergosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I passed my road test thanks to Azin from Brave Driver Training! He’s very patient and always made sure I understood everything. He helped me stay confident and focused while driving. Highly recommend! 👌Posted on elizabeth landellsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passed first try! Great experience with Brave Drivers. My instructor, Phoenix, was very patient and helped me conquer my driving anxiety. Easy booking process and fair price.
