Expert Instructors with a Passion for Safety

The curriculum covers everything from basic controls and slow-speed maneuvers to advanced hazard avoidance and highway riding.

The supportive environment fosters a sense of community, with many students noting the camaraderie and encouragement they received from both instructors and fellow classmates.

Positive experience: Maybe this place is amazing for learning to ride motorcycles but my son took the course for preparing for his car road test and it was just ok. The main concern was that the last in-car session was supposed to be a simulated driving test in the area of the registry and that didn't happen so I had to spend 3 days with my son learning the area to prepare for the test. Also the in-class pre-recorded videos weren't the best quality. We won't be using this place for our second child.

Fantastic experience: Extremely thankful to Coach Garry Mcconnell and his many teachings to me as a driver. I was registered for the Basic Driver Training Course and was taught vital skills needed as a driver through the 10 hours of lessons that were provided. Through his ways of conditioning and teaching a student, it prepares them to be not only ready for the test, but also to be prepared for many different driving scenarios. I was able to pass my test on my first attempt thanks to these lessons.

Fantastic experience: I had Garry as my instructor for my Class 5 Drivers Education course. With his years of experience paired with his communication skills, he was excellent at providing informative insight, tips, and tricks. He was stern when necessary, but all in the name of learning. Given his past as a road test examiner in Alberta, he was able to depict what exactly examiners look for when examining a road test taker. Alongside this, even after our 10 paid in-vehicle class hours, he insisted on a multitude of occasions that I text or call him with any driving inquiry I may have had. Approaching the day of my road test, I took Garry up on his offer and he was delighted to help, free of charge. This even included paragraphical texts explaining different driving concept and procedures, as well as a phone call (despite his busy schedule) for any last-minute questions I had. On top of that, he refused profusely to accept any sort of cash tip or gift. I ended up passing my road test, and he was ecstatic upon finding out. Most driving schools charge upwards of 1000$ for an online-in-vehicle course package. I feel as if Wheels Training Centre is the only driving school that deserves to charge that much, yet they only charge 672$. I strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A HUGE thank you to Gary and Rich for teaching an amazing basic motorcycle course. I went in with absolutely zero riding experience and their knowledge helped me feel so comfortable on a bike. Over the two day course, I learned a ton and had so much fun while doing it. I will definitely be back to try out some other courses to fine tune my motorcycle skills. I would highly recommend Wheels Training Centre to absolutely everybody. Thank you guys so much!!
