Archer's Blue Car Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend archer’s blue car driving school. They are super professional and kind. Curtis is knowledgeable and professional. He thought me lots of driving’s skills that helped me to pass my road test. Just wanted to say Thank you so much .
Fantastic experience: Perfect school for anxious drivers! Elaine was so understanding, encouraging, and patient while still telling me what I needed to hear so I could learn. I came with lots of baggage, but she made me feel so comfortable and confident. I passed on my first attempt in 10 years, never would have expected that! Thank you Elaine and Archers!
Positive experience: Very good school. I managed to pass my driving test prepared and focused. I feel much more adept as a driver now.
Fantastic experience: I recommend taking lessons with Archer’s Blue Car to anyone looking to pass their road test. During the in car lessons, you’ll get plenty of practice in all kinds of driving situations and the instructor Jennifer is very patient and knowledgeable, they take the time to explain and go over everything with you again and you can see your progress after each session, plus you get access to exclusive videos covering everything you need to know, and road test tips. I followed everything they taught me and I passed with barely any points. Overall, an amazing experience!
Fantastic experience: if u ever wanna find an AMAZING driving school, go with archers. for my driving lessons i was with Kyle and he is literally the best instructor u could go with, he makes everyone comfortable while driving and will tell u some dad jokes, he always made me feel confident getting in the car and driving. he blows kisses and random drivers and sings for u, i couldn't have picked a better driving school and an EXCELLENT instructor. but srsly go with Kyle if u wanna have a fun driving experience.
Fantastic experience: Nothing but good things to say about Archer's. I started my lessons with Kyle at the beginning of September and completed my road test today on my first attempt. Kyle helped me pass my road test with confidence and also worked patiently with me to overcome my driving anxiety. Kyle is calm, professional, and explains everything clearly, making each lesson comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills or gain confidence on the road!
Fantastic experience: kyle is the best driving instructor ever. he’s an excellent teacher and he has a great sense of humor, making driving more entertaining. he has done a superb job at helping me improve my driving skills throughout the lessons. i highly recommend taking lessons at archer’s blue car driving school and choosing kyle as your instructor.
Fantastic experience: They were all very nice and understanding. Kyle was also very chill.
Positive experience: I loved how they were able to get me over my fear of driving and were patient. Also found it funny that Dom would repeat the same stories to me every time. 3 stars because I didn’t like the tone in which Dom was talking to me my last class, he apologized and understood that I didn’t want to continue taking classes. Anyways, all the best to everyone!
Hi Faiza, and thanks for the review. Glad we were able to get you started on your way to becoming a driver. Hope you continue on your journey and wish you good luck getting there.
Fantastic experience: Really kind and caring trainers, taught me everything and made sure I knew what I was doing without being rude, I truly recommend
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with this driving school, you get so much benefits and it's definitely worth the price you pay. The in school lessons were great aswell, Dom was a great teacher and made the classes enjoyable to go to. The in car lessons were great aswell, I had Kyle and Elaine, they both taught me so much and helped me gain the skills I needed to pass my road test, overall I would recommend this school over any others, I looked into many before I finally picked this one, I would say it's definitely one of the best driving schools there are in edmonton
Fantastic experience: loved my instructor Elaine, she made me feel so comfortable and helped build my confidence!
Fantastic experience: I went into my driver training with a lot of anxiety about driving. I came out of my training with my license, first try. They are excellent at encouraging you to push past your fears and bring out confidence in your skills.
Fantastic experience: All of the instructors were very helpful and I was able to pass my exam thanks to them
Fantastic experience: Archer's is an amazing driving school, and I highly recommend them. I went from having zero experience behind the wheel to passing Class 5 in just a few lessons. The process of registering and booking classes was done online, and they offered home pick-up/ drop-off, which was perfect for me since I don't own a car and find it hard to commute anywhere. Each instructor has a different teaching style and you can choose whoever best suits you, but overall, all the instructors I had were awesome. Inaam was a wonderful and super supportive instructor who built up my confidence from the very first lesson, making every lesson afterward so much easier. Thank you Archer's!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Archer's Blue Car Driving School. I had personal anxiety going into it; but they were completely overcome with the help of Dom. I have become more comfortable and confident when driving. Archer's Blue Car Driving School are completely flexible with the schedule within reason and advance notice. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: It's been quite a while since I passed my road test but I don't think I would've been able to do it without the lessons I took with Kyle. He helped me relax on the road and taught me everything in a way that made sense in my head. He encouraged me to go past my comfort level but wouldn't get upset if I wasn't ready for something. He got me used to driving and talking and I think that was one of the most useful things to get used to, especially from multiple lessons. Not only was he able to teach me how to drive but he made it fun as well. He'd have me drive to see interesting sights and he'd wave at random people but never would get a wave back from them when he was with me (kind of amusing) but overall he made driving so much more fun. 10/10 would recommend Archers Blue Car Driving School and Kyle as an instructor :)
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Passed my drivers exam on the first try with minimal errors. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience every time with Archers! I went from barely understanding the rules of the road, to passing my test, all within the span of under two months. Archers staff taught me so much and I highly recommend this company as your choice for drivers training.
Fantastic experience: Super kind and accommodating! I felt very prepared for my road test. Highly recommend this driving school.
Fantastic experience: Completed my drivers training with the instructor Kyle he was extremely helpful with teaching me the proper way to drive giving me the best chance for my road test in the future, highly recommended Archers blue car if you are looking for a place to do your training! Update: passed on the first try of my road test!
Fantastic experience: This is a certified Kyle moment. I recommend Archer's to those learning or needing a fun brush-up pre-exultation; the lessons were insightful and professional. Kyle was evident and conceitful with the explanations while conducting each lesson. The skills he taught me behind the wheel have generally made me more confident and patient on the road, unlike before.
Positive experience: Overall was a very good driving school and i passed with there help. But did find that one of the staff members was very un-professional. In ways such as making inappropriate comments, and belching.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for the Guidance regarding How to drive in the Residential Area. It helped me pass my road test. You Guys are doing a great job. Keep it up. I highly recommend Archers Blue Car Driving School for new driving learners and those who are going to take the road test.
Fantastic experience: Very good instructors, great at preparing you for the licensing exam.
Fantastic experience: I passed the driving test today on the first try, thanks to Archer's. I took all my lessons with Kyle, and everything was great! It really was a pleasant experience learning from him. I wish Archer's and Kyle all the very best!
Fantastic experience: I'm pleased with my experience with their instructor, Elaine. The entire process, from registration to scheduling, was smooth. Their user-friendly website made it easy to find information, book classes, and manage my account. They send reminders for classes booked, and all the classes were on time. They promptly responded to my inquiries, whether via email or phone. It’s reassuring to know that my time was valued and I was never kept waiting. Elaine was kind, encouraging, and professional throughout the entire process. Her friendly demeanor put me at ease, even during tense moments behind the wheel. As an already licensed driver, I needed to gain confidence and familiarise with the traffic rules here, and the encouragement I got from Elaine made a significant difference. She provided constructive feedback, celebrated my progress, and helped build my confidence. Whether you’re a beginner or need a refresher, Archer's Blue Car is the place to go!
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Archer's Blue Car Driving School. My second son just finished his driving lessons with them and had a great experience. Fantastic service with getting picked up at High-School and then getting dropped off at home. Keep up the great work:)
Fantastic experience: I had a really great experience learning to drive with Kyle as my instructor. He brought me from having zero driving experience to being a confident driver. I was able to pass my driver's test on the first try with his training. I highly recommend this school to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Very good.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional driving school experience! Elaine, my instructor, was patient, knowledgeable, and instilled confidence in me from day one. Her clear instructions and personalized approach made learning to drive enjoyable and effective. Passed my road test and obtained my class 5 license a week ago. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to become a confident and skilled driver.
Fantastic experience: Dom helped me build confidence while driving and passed on my first try. 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Archers blue car driving school to anyone who wants more confidence in their driving as well as in-depth training for every aspect on the road. I passed my test today for the first time with confidence after having 5 lessons. Majority of my lessons were with Kyle and he helped calm my nerves and helped me improve my driving skills to another level. Definitely take your drivers training with them you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: This driving school helped me to become a much more confident driver and stop hesitating/second guessing myself, which was what I needed to pass my road test. The lessons were super informative and helpful, and my instructor Kyle was very kind and easy going. If you are unsure whether or not to choose Archer, I'd say that you definitely should!
Fantastic experience: Passed my road test on my first try! Really glad I decided to go with Archer's Blue Car Driving School! Everything was straightforward, from registration to booking classes. Also, if I had questions or needed adjustments regarding the course, Dom was quick to respond and provide clear information & instructions. I had Elaine as my instructor, and she is amazing! For an adult learning to drive, it can get intimidating. However, Elaine put me right at ease and was so very patient! Her persistence in reminding me of the dos & don'ts truly helped drill these pieces of information in my head. I am so grateful for how she makes an effort to analyze my responses to situations to gain insight on how to best help me improve. I appreciate her truthfulness in evaluating my skills at the end of each class. Afterwards, she would back it up with encouragement! This has been invaluable in acquiring confidence in my driving skills, knowing how to be a safe driver and keeping me from moving forward! It has been a positive experience overall! Thank you, Elaine, so much for being the wonderful person that you are! The best instructor anybody could ask for! To the rest of the Archer's Blue Car team, thank you for doing what you do! I wish you all the best! =)
Fantastic experience: Kyle is a great instructor!! Bless up. Update: I got my license. LFG.
Fantastic experience: This driving school is superb! Got more of my lessons with Elaine and she was very patient and informative. Had a couple of lessons from Inaam and Jen too and they really helped me a lot with how to be assertive and safe especially in my left turns and lane changing. All of my instructors taught me well and made me overcome my driving anxiety. I passed the road test and I give my thanks to them. Overall, the driving school provided safe and very understandable concepts on how to become a confident and safe driver. Thanks to Dom who tailored the lessons which helped a lot of people. Thank you archers bluecar.
Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend this company to those who want to improve their driving skills. They take there jobs really seriously while also making sure we are as safe and comfortable as possible, it was also cool how we could have different instructors one of the main instructors I had was Kyle and although the other instructors were great his teaching style was what worked best for me. Which I really appreciate. Not everyone learns the same way. I also like his jokes while we were driving it helped me relax. Definitely recommend Archer's blue car company.
Fantastic experience: The instructors are fantastic and very knowledgeable I passed the test on my first try because of them!
Fantastic experience: my driving instructor (inaam) was super duper helpful and i passed my test first try! shes also really funny as well
Fantastic experience: I choose Archer’s blue to learn how to drive, i may say i started with 0 experience since i never learnt how to drive properly with the traffic, i had Elaine as instructor, she was amazing ! Very patient with me and explained everything in details ! And thanks to her i passed my road test from the first try ! They also have a website, with a schedule where you book your own lesson and you receive one day before a reminder by email, which is great when you have a lot of stuff going on ! Elaine would pick me from home, always on time ! And very flexible ! Thanks a lot for this amazing experience !
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Archers Blue Car Driving School. My driver was Elaine. Before I signed up, I had zero confidence while driving and was very anxious and I didn't have anyone to teach me. When they did they would yell and not give useful information on how to improve BUT I signed up with Archers Blue Car Driving School and booked with Elaine. If you are nervous about driving or just don't have anyone to teach you, come here and book with Elaine or one of the other drives, but I highly recommend Elaine as she was my driver. She has a very calm and a relaxing demeanor, when I would make a mistake Elaine would explain how I could improve on it that way I am a better, safer driver. Elaine is an amazing teacher, she built up my confidence while driving. Whenever I need reassurance she would let me know that I was doing good. She was always in a positive mood, she's very patient and gives insightful information about what to watch out for with your own vehicle. I enjoyed my entire experience, because of Elaine I am now a safer, confident driver. I will be recommending my friends and family to Archers Blue Car Driving School.
Fantastic experience: Unreservedly we can attest that after participating in Archer's driver training program, our new driver become safer and more attentive. Far above other driving schools in the Edmonton area for their ethical practices to ensure new drivers experience all manner of driving circumstances, road conditions and safe vehicle handling. Tonya was amazing with our teenage daughter, dramatically increasing her confidence, skill and behaviors behind the wheel. Nowadays, this type of high quality service and honesty is a rarity. Archer's process will help your new driver to hopefully avoid the life changing mistakes that can occur behind the wheel...
Fantastic experience: There are 87 driving schools in Edmonton and Archers deserves to be in first place. Dom, the owner, is very kind and very helpful with anyone trying to get their license took two refresher courses and his staff member Elaine was very helpful and patient with me. She taught me a lot and knew all the new rules of the road that I wasn’t aware of. I would recommend Archers Blue Car to anyone who is looking to start driving or renewing their license.
Fantastic experience: This school is amazing! They are so good at explaining things and they are very patient! 10/10 would recommend them anyone who want to learn to drive! All the instructors are so nice!
Fantastic experience: Upon recommendation from one of my colleagues both of my kids completed their Driver Education Course with Archer’s Blue Car. One did the classroom lessons online and the other did the live in-class in session but both passed the road test on the first try. Very happy with their instruction.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing company. I barely had any driving experience when I signed up with archers, I paid for an extra lesson so I did 6 in total over 6 weeks and a few days after did my road test and passed. They are such kind, wonderful people, both owners and employees. They made learning driving easy, and I highly recommend them to everyone and anyone who is thinking of doing driving lessons!!15/10
Fantastic experience: I just passed my road test yesterday and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences with Archer's Blue Car. I had Elaine for all of my lessons and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was incredibly patient and helped me overcome my driving anxiety. I had Dom for the warmup before my road test and he was also very friendly and helped me feel less anxious for my test. Additionally, as a very busy university student, they were incredibly flexible and the free pick up from anywhere in the city was very useful and allowed me to better fit lessons into my schedule. Overall, I loved my experience with Archer's and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a driving school.
Fantastic experience: Dom was a fantastic driving instructor - he gave very helpful and constructive feedback during our lessons. It also helps that he's quite funny. Thanks to him, I passed my road test and had compliments from the examiner. If you want to prep for your road test, I highly recommend Archer's Blue!
Fantastic experience: I got my car a week ago, so it`s time to write a review as learning how to drive is not only about road test. I must say that I feel myself pretty confident driving my vehicle. I drive even better than my friend who started driving more than a month ago. Even more, I had another instructor before Archer`s Blue Car and he sad me that driving is not for everybody after several lessons because I was too afraid. Thank you Elaine, I know you had a hard time with me.
Fantastic experience: Awesome school!! Very amazing when it comes to teaching you and help you fix your flaws as a driver. I recommend them highly.
Fantastic experience: The best driving school in Edmonton. Great driving school that allowed me to pass on the first attempt of my driving test. The instructers are all amazing and fantastic at there jobs.
Fantastic experience: Excellent for people with anxiety such as myself. Was able to do my road test in my last lesson by their suggestion and passed! Also on the ball with the well being of the vehicles, patient and definitely have seen worse! Highly recommend especially for those with driving related traumas or general anxiety with driving. The in-class course is a great refresher for those already with a learners and for those preparing!
Fantastic experience: Arches Blue Car Drive School was a great experience! If someone was looking for help on obtaining their learners or license I would recommend this driving school! All instructors are great and the in - person class was very informative.
Fantastic experience: Second kid I've had go through this company and it was an even BETTER experience than 5 years ago - absolute pleasure to deal with! Thank you again! See you for the 3rd kid in less than a year!
Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience with Blue Archer. I was instructed by Elaine and she was such an educational and calming presence to have in the car with me. I have always been a nervous driver and she was there with me each step of the way. Dom was there with me for my pretest warm up before my actual test and he was wonderful as well. The instructors really are caring people. I passed my exam on the first try and I'm thankful for everything they did to help me and set me up to be successful.
Fantastic experience: The instructors are very knowledgeable and will set you up for success. I was with Tonya for one of my lessons and she was extremely kind and always provided great advice throughout the lesson.
Fantastic experience: There is a lot to say about this school. Excellent service, excellent teacher, first class attention. It doesn’t matter what day it is, if it is raining or snowing, they will look for you, and they will train you until you get your license. Believe me when I say, it doesn't matter if you fail, they will support you until you succeed. Thank you very much for everything. Kelly, Dom and all the instructors.
Fantastic experience: Elaine with Archers is truly the best instructor in Edmonton. I had extremely bad panic attacks to the point where if I sat behind the wheel I would panic and sob. Elaine was very patient with me and let me take my time to learn. I can hear her talking me through driving now and with her encouragement final got my license at 32-years old. It is never too late. I really appreciated being picked up at my home as it made it easy to fit in my schedule. I recommend them to every I know that doesn't have their license or who have children who are starting to learn. Thank you truly for the support.
Fantastic experience: Elaine was a fantastic instructor! I had really bad anxiety and sensory issues around driving and she was very patient and accommodating. She was able to figure out my comfort zone and limits but push me little by little each session to make progress. I passed my test second try and I'm now comfortable driving! Archer's Blue Car is definitely one of the best driving schools in the Edmonton area. I had a horrible experience with a different school and had to transfer over my records, Dominic was super helpful with that and there were no issues. Lessons were fairly priced, and because I had booked so many I got a discount and pay-as-you-go, which was great!
Fantastic experience: Archer’s was reasonably priced for the value I assessed from their website. Website was easy to use and communication when I called was great and always more informative than I expected. I learned so much from the in class session and then the premium lessons and would say it was in reality beyond my expectations. Instructor Kyle is extremely patient and personable, and also able to convey what needs improvement firmly when necessary. A really good teacher. I can confidently drive now and I attribute that to him. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Kyle and Elaine were super helpful and made me feel much more comfortable and confident in my driving!
Fantastic experience: I had a Fantastic experience with Archer's! Dom was an incredible teacher! Since I'm a high school student, they accommodated my schedule and made sure I was ready before my test. Dom was the perfect instructor, he was able to push me to do things I didn't think I could do (parrelel park) and kept a positive attitude when messed up. This school is the perfect fit for all learning drivers and I would recommend it to other high school students and those who have anxiety surrounding driving. Thank you so much for making me the best driver I know!
Fantastic experience: I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Archers Blue Car! As a new driver, I was searching for a reliable driving school, and I'm extremely glad that I chose Archers. Their instructors are not only patient but also highly knowledgeable, making the learning process enjoyable and efficient. One aspect that stood out to me was their punctuality. Archers Blue Car was always on time while picking me up from my home for driving lessons, which was greatly appreciated. Their professionalism and commitment to timeliness made me feel valued as a student. I wholeheartedly recommend Archers Blue Car to anyone in need of driving lessons. Their dedication to providing quality instruction, along with their friendly and patient instructors, is truly commendable. Thanks to them, I gained confidence behind the wheel and successfully obtained my driver's license. If you're looking for a driving school that goes above and beyond, look no further than Archers Blue Car. You won't be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: I would HIGHLY recommend this driving school to everyone! Very organized, the online booking is easy to use. The instructors are amazing! My daughter became a very competent and confident driver training with Dominic. It was truly a great experience from start to finish. Check them out! You won’t be disappointed
Fantastic experience: I attended another driving school prior to Archer's that taught me poorly. Dom, Jen and Kyle all instructed me at various points. Each instructor was straight to the point and incredibly helpful at getting you to where you need to be. I could not recommend them more!
Fantastic experience: Great teaching! I passed my road test on the first try! The instructors are very welcoming and only ever intimidating when they’re trying to keep you + others safe. Tonya was amazing at getting me comfortable from no experience to an independent driver in just 14 hours.
Fantastic experience: Nice and experienced driving instrutors, will help you pass your test. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school. Instructor’s are very nice and helpful. Big shout out to Dom and Kyle for helping me pass my driving test.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Archer’s has been fantastic from booking to passing my road test! I would highly recommend this driving school to anyone, regardless of their age and experience. Thanks again to everyone at Archer’s!
Fantastic experience: Archer’s Blue Car prepared my son so well for his drivers test. He was confident relaxed and passed his drivers test first time with no issues, and most importantly, no bad habits.
Fantastic experience: Such a great experience! I had lessons with each instructor and they were all fantastic. Taught me so many helpful tips to help me pass my road test. I passed first time, very well. Thank you archers!
Fantastic experience: Kyle was great made my time feel like 20 minutes instead of 2 hour highly recommended. Would do again.
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a driving school in Edmonton and the surrounding areas, look no further than Archers Blue Car! With their friendly and knowledgeable staff, and unparalleled experience, Archers Blue Car is hands down the best driving school around. My instructor, Elaine, really made my experience special and memorable. She completely understood my situation as an immigrant trying to get used to the new driving rules, and accordingly tailored the lesson plan. She's truly a gem and, undoubtedly, the best instructor in Alberta. (Yup, she is that good!) Not only did I pass my road test with flying colours, but I also had an awesome time learning how to become a responsible driver. I can't be more pleased with my experience here. I can't recommend Archers Blue Car enough. So, if you're looking to become a better driver, definitely check them out - you won't regret it! Thank you, Elaine & Dom!
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school. The instructors have a lot of experience, knowledge and patience. They know when your anxiety and nerves are getting to you and help you bring them down so you can keep learning everything you need for getting your license. They helped me manage my anxiety while driving and got me to where I needed to be for getting my license. They were a very helpful every step of the way. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to learn how to drive and get there license.
Fantastic experience: All the instructors are very patient and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to all new drivers and to those people that have had a bad experience with other schools... try dom for a lesson.
Fantastic experience: Archer's is amazing and I cannot recommend them enough. I'm 30 years old and have been putting off driving due to major anxiety and fear. I went into my driving lessons with essentially zero experience and afraid to go faster than 20km/hr (lol). And after 7 lessons, about 2.5 months of experience total, and lots of practice in between, I just passed my test with flying colours! I had three different instructors throughout my lessons, but the majority were with Kyle. He was always very patient and encouraged me outside of my comfort zones when he felt confident that I could do a skill, but never pushy. I would also highly recommend using an Archer car for driving tests and getting in that 45 minute warm-up drive that's included. Honestly a life-saver in getting out those test jitters and asking some last-minute questions! Thanks, Archer's! You're the best!
Fantastic experience: Very good instruction and friendly instructors. Passed my road test first try. I highly recommend taking driving lessons from Archer’s Blue.
Fantastic experience: Best driving school experience in Edmonton. Archers Blue Car Driving school makes sure you are prepared for the road test! Thanks to Archers I passed on my first try! Thank you!
Negative experience: I was so blatantly cut off in traffic by one of these cars. There was only one person in the vehicle so they weren't teaching... And probably shouldn't be! Edit: This happened Dec. 9th around 6:30pm on 142st southbound near 153ave. They were turning left on to 142st. I was already on 142st had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting them. The car behind me got very close to rear ending my vehicle. They definitely did not have the proper space or time to make the left but did anyways....
Edit: Thank you for being specific with the incident. While our home base is in the area, we did not have any cars on the road at that time. The last car that came home was around 5:40pm. Just in case you were mistaken with the time, I did check the dashcam and the the closest that car was to the intersection of 153 ave and 142 st was on 139st turning east (right) on 153ave. Then the car turned north/left on 137st to return home. Maybe you were mistaken in identifying our driving school. If you wish to view our calendar to see for yourself that all our cars where back, please visit: https://www.supersaas.com/schedule/Archer's_Blue_Car_Driving/In-Car_Lessons_and_Classroom Hi Eric and thank you for taking the time to write a review! After talking to the instructors that were out today, it does seem that there could have been an incident while one of them was doing a lane change. So as a teachable moment, I would like to inform you that when someone is signalling that they are changing lane the reasonable and courteous thing to do is to let them complete their lane change. Speeding up to prevent someone from doing a lane change is not a very nice thing to do. Trust me, as driving instructors, we encounter this almost daily. People like you going "OMG this driving school car is trying to get in MY lane and will slow me down by going near the speed limit!" (we do teach our students to keep at or near the speed limit on major roadways) is part of the problem on our streets. I do hope that you are over your road rage of being "blatantly" cut off. And, hopefully Santa has not put you on his "naughty" list. Have a great day! Dom
Fantastic experience: elite driving school taught me a lot. They are patient but will make sure you know what you are doing. Definitely reccomend!
Fantastic experience: Great company !! Helped get my daughter ready for her driver’s test ! Great little cars ! Great instructors ! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for drivers training ! She passed with zero points off ! Thanks Archer’s :)
Fantastic experience: Archer's Blue Car was a welcome change after our bad experience with ONS Driving School. Our son was booked with ONS & it was a thoroughly UNpleasant experience in every way. I had never given a 1-star review before but ONS got my first one. So, I did a LOT more research before we booked our daughter (M.). Was looking for value for money...excellent quality at a fair price. Archer's nailed it. It is not nearly as pricey as AMA & Glenn's yet the calibre of instruction was absolute tops. - Booked Value lessons which start & end either at Northtown Mall or St. Albert Mall. I always had errands to run anyway. - Dom, wisely suggested to space the lessons a week apart. That gave M. time to practice what she learned. The pace was just right & really maximized the training. - Dom was always ready and waiting when we arrived. M. was nervous driving with a stranger the first time but ended the lesson completely comfortable. Archer's gives the student a score at the end of every lesson to show the progress they've made and how close they are to likely being able to pass a road test. Cool benchmarking! - Dom assessed M's level of ability & moved her along at a very appropriate pace, not wasting time on something she clearly had a good handle on (unlike ONS). The instruction was super thorough and kind but still honest. - I never knew that you could use simple geometry and the correct placement of the side mirror to learn to parallel park! When M. explained how she had been taught I was amazed. And right from the start she aced it almost every time. - Once, Dom knew he had to miss a lesson. He told us well in advance & gave us a choice: a free upgrade to a premium pick up/drop off lesson with a different instructor in the same time slot OR we could book with him at different time. We chose the upgrade so M. got to drive with another instructors (Kyle). And Dom even made sure they drove in the neighbourood where the actual test would take place. All very professionally handled. - One of the later lessons included a pretend road test. Dom specifically told M. that he was going to mark her hard...he was going to be REALLY picky so that she knew every little thing that might count against her when she went for the real test. She "failed" but she knew exactly what she needed to work on, and the ensuing lesson focused on remedying those errors. When M. did her actual road test a couple of weeks later, she was docked a TOTAL of 5 points (of the maximum 75) for one wide turn, and the examiner actually thanked her for being incredibly well prepared! She totally aced her test and we attribute that to the amazing, organized, detailed, personalized instruction she received at Archer's. - Almost forgot, Archer's is slowly changing their vehicles to all electric and they even have bought carbon offsets. Nice! The only con I can think of with this company is that there were not a lot of time slots available for value lessons and they book up fast. We still managed to schedule workable dates because a new batch of value slots had just been posted but it would have been tougher if our registration had come a week or two later. I believe most folks book Premium lessons which is where most of Archer's time/resources go. Fair enough, but I hope the company is able to expand enough that they can offer more lesson times to their value clients. I now tell everybody about Archer's Blue Car. Our insurance agent...our neighbours...friends...anybody who has a kid getting close to needing driver's training... (and I tell everyone to stay away from ONS). Cannot reccomend Archer's highly enough. We are already planning to book both kids for a winter driving lesson. Dom says they actually take the students drifting in a safe place so they can learn how to really handle a vehicle on ice. Love it! I have high standards and Archer's exceeded my expectations. I hope they keep growing so that more people can be trained in a top notch manner. BTW, we are in no way connected to this company...we are simply very impressed clients
Positive experience: I highly recommend taking this driving school. I had a great experience! The few instructors I had were very nice and considerate that I was really nervous and they helped encourage me to continue moving forward. Very nice people and overall a really good driving school!!!
Fantastic experience: After trying 2 different driving school, I decided to search for the best Driving school near me, and Archer's Blue is on the list, after reading lots of positive reviews, I decided to enroll and that was the best decision ever! You can book your lesson online, you can choose the instructor too! Kyle is my instructor, and he is the best! I just passed my road test today! I Highly recommend Archer's blue and Kyle!!
Fantastic experience: I had zero driving experience before taking driving training lessons with Archer’s Blue Car Driving School. During the ten lessons, I was taught by Kyle, Elaine, and Dom. They were strict but also very friendly which helped me gain more confidence lesson by lesson. I was able to master safe driving skills that enabled me pass the basic road test at the first time! I am so grateful that I found Archer’s Blue Car Driving School and would definitely recommend anyone to take their driving training with them!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and service, passed my test with no difficulty. The Curriculum they taught was spot on with the rules of the road and helped me develop good habits while driving. Most importantly they care for their students.
Fantastic experience: Great school I did their entire course and passed my drivers test first try with minimal error their driving instructors are calm and observant. Overall really good
Fantastic experience: Archer’s Blue Car is an excellent driving school. I came here after going to another driving school a few years prior and with loads of driving anxiety. They really helped me become confident on the road. Their teaching style is straight forward and they are also very patient with you. After 4 in-car lessons, I was confident enough to attempt my road test. I used their car for the test and they gave me a 45 minute warm up before the test. I passed first try! Thanks so much Archer’s Blue Car. I would definitely recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with this company, Kyle was a great instructor! Thanks to his help I was able to pass on my first attempt. I’d highly recommend this school!
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Archer’s Blue car. The instructors are very patient and infinitely helpful. Going from little to no experience driving, plus anxiety of being on the road, to being confident in my driving and passing the exam first try. Couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you Dom.
Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I don't even live in Edmonton, let alone actually attended this driving school! However, just from the YouTube videos I've seen, I could say amazing things about this school! Despite actually attending driving lessons in my city, I could 100% say that watching this school's youtube videos was more helpful to me! I can't imagine how great it would be actually taking driving lessons in-person at such a school. Thank you for your videos, Archer! We all appreciate you! I definitely recommend this driving school if you want to learn how to not only pass your road test, but also acquire driving skills that you'll use throughout your life. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend Archer's, they are very professional and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Kyle for the amazing driving training, he was really encouraging and made me feel confident. Thank you so much Archer's, without you I couldn't pass my road test :)
Fantastic experience: Dom was a great instructor, with little experience in driving he had me prepared in 10 hrs of lessons and I passed my road test 1st try. I really recommend Archers, great staff and very knowledgeable. Thanks again Dom
Fantastic experience: I started their lessons in 2021 with zero experience and no car to practice with, and passed the road test after around 16 private in-car hours with them. The instructors are nice and professional, special thanks to Dom and Elaine who helped me a lot in brush up sessions. Will definitely recommend to other people.
Fantastic experience: Highly professional & knowledge
Fantastic experience: Great friendly and knowledgeable team!
Fantastic experience: After failing my first drivers road test, I ended up taking 2 brush up lessons with Archers Blue Car and was able to pass my road test on the second attempt. They’re phenomenal teachers and will accommodate you to have the best experience possible. I would recommend this service to anybody I know who is in need of it. Great people, super thorough with how they do business and all around professionals.
Fantastic experience: Dom’s a cool dude and great instructor. If you pass their school you will get your liscence for sure
