Fantastic experience: My deepest gratitude to everyone on the Pine Valley Driving Academy team who helped me successfully pass the DZ test. From the very first email exchanges and phone calls, to the in-person training and test day, everyone at Pine Valley was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, kind, helpful and supportive. I would not have been able to pass and to continue pursuing my professional goals if it weren’t for all of you. So thank you.

Fantastic experience: I recently went to pine valley trucking academy for my DZ license with little to no experience. Having Harry as my instructor was more than I could have asked for as he took the time to explain each step to of the process on truck and safety on the road. I would highly recommend pine valley trucking for all levels. I’m expert now!

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my DZ license lessons at Pine Valley Driving Academy, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire team was fantastic, especially Wasif, Harry, and Semina. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also super kind and patient throughout the process.

Daniela O'Neill 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Went to Pine Valley for my DZ license training. Had no experience with air brakes prior to and the instructors (Harry) were very knowledgeable and great at explaining it in depth. The instructors were very thorough and ensured I was prepared for the drive test. Without Pine Valley, I doubt I would’ve passed on my first try. Would recommend this school to anyone going for their DZ test.

Fantastic experience: Very thorough and clear instruction. I was given all the tools needed to pass my road and inspection tests. Everything is streamlined and easy to follow. Harry is a patient instructor that makes sure you are prepared, and you will be, as long as you do your part.

Sandor Hamori 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my DZ license training at Pine Valley and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience! Although I haven't driven regularly for years and depended on public transit the 14 hours of one-on-one training gave me the confidence and skills to pass the road test on my first attempt! My instructor Wasif was patient, knowledgeable, and focused on ensuring I was fully prepared for the exam. From start to finish everyone was immensly helpful and I cannot thank them enough!

Ben Dussault 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I chose the basic training option which gave me essentially two days of one on one education with their instructors plus the MTO test on the third day. It was crucial for me to study the material a few extra hours on my own because those two days went very quickly and I found myself struggling to “get it”- truck parts/components. The instructors were great in pushing me to learn the material so that once the test day came, I would be set up for success. I passed, got my DZ and I got to drive a fire truck for 3 days. Great experience, highly recommend going there. Thank you.

Kevin Martins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to leave a review and say how amazing Pine Valley Academy has been with the whole process of getting my DZ license. Harpreet was amazing he taught me everything I needed to know within a few days. Honestly if you’re looking for the right place to get your DZ/AZ go to Pine Valley Academy.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic time at Pine Valley Driving Academy. Option 3 was perfect for me and the diverse teaching techniques are helpful for all styles of learning. PASSED MY DZ FIRST TRY!! Thank you to all the pine valley staff!.

SunE 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I emailed Pine Valley to book a package and it was quick and easy. I had 2 days worth of lessons with 4 hours each day and my instructor Harry was fantastic. I couldn't praise him enough. I was at a loss with all the information I had to remember but Harry took his time to teach me everything thing that was needed for the DZ test. On the DZ test date, Harry showed up an hour early just to review with me and went over any concerns that I had. I passed my DZ test on my first try and it was all thanks to the team at Pine Valley. I highly recommend this place if you need to get your DZ license.

Fantastic experience: It all started because i used to live near the school but hands down they are the best people and best instructors in the whole wide world. I got my AZ licence in first try and I’m on cloud nine. I can’t express my gratitude to everyone in the team specifically Mr. Ajay and Mr. Naeem Cheema whose guidelines and experience helped me overcome my fears and motivating me throughout. My humble regards and best wishes to the team for helping hundreds and thousands like me. Definitely recommended and million stars. Thank you again. ❤️ To good times…

I was confident and well prepared for my road test and passed on my first attempt! Thank you Pine Valley Driving Academy!!

Matt Tiv 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went to Pine Valley Driving Academy for training to get my DZ licence. In only two lessons (6 hours) I felt very prepared, and confident going into the road test. Harry was my instructor, and he provided me with lots of information on what the examiners are looking for. He answered all of the questions I had, including the day of the road test. I would recommend this place if you are interested in upgrading your licence.

Sebastian Warchol 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The process of obtaining a DZ License with Pine Valley was made easy from first contact and booking lessons by email and phone with Samina, to the instruction on the truck itself with Harry and Wasif. Both instructors I worked with clearly had their students’ success in mind and answered every question I had. I was given ample opportunity to practice areas that I felt unsure about giving me the confidence needed to pass my exam. Go in ready to learn with a student’s mindset and Pine Valley will take care of the rest.

Fantastic experience: I initially felt very nervous about driving a truck, but the instructors at Pine Valley were exceptionally patient and supportive, which helped alleviate my anxiety. Over the course of six lessons, I found the experience to be well worth the investment of both time and money. I appreciated how the instructors asked for my input on areas where I felt I needed improvement while also providing honest feedback on what they thought I should focus on. Their approach made the entire learning process enjoyable. I highly recommend Pine Valley above all other options. Additionally, I passed my driving test! Thank you very much; I greatly appreciate your assistance! Side note: i spent the most time with Harry and his humour and knowledge made this a great experience, however all instructors were amazing.

Kaddu James 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I got the best experience from start to finish, semina at reception welcomed me and also advised me on the whole process with all paperwork needed, and since I was only part time, they accommodated me with a very fitting schedule very flexible for me and then AJAY was my AZ "class 1" instructor through the course, he taught me more than enough, very friendly and respectful instructor, very knowledgeable of all driving situations and then lastly the owner was also very helpful in the process, I PASSED MY AZ ON 1ST ATTEMPT with ease. Look no further, this is the best school!

Fantastic experience: I went to Pine Valley to get my DZ license, and my experience there was terrific and amazing! The instructors there are very knowledgeable and teach to the finest details that testing centers look for. That's what separates Pine Valley from other driving schools! Plus, their front desk workers and instructors are very patient with you and are very nice people. They take the time to hear you out if you have any concerns or don't know what package to pick and some small chats to get to know you. I highly recommend this driving academy. 10/10.

Ryan McKinnon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A little background to start. Roughly 10 years ago I chose Pine Valley's DZ course after multiple recommendations from my peers in the GTA firefighting community. At that time, Naeem was my primary instructor, and made it his goal to ensure that I was overly prepared for my road test. I remember him telling me that he would never send me to the ministry until I satisfied his standards. Needless to say, I passed my DZ road test without breaking a sweat. Fast forward to today, and I successfully completed my 'A' class road test on my first attempt, thanks to Pine Valley once again. From the initial paperwork, all the way to the road test, I was happy to see that the school's standards have only increased since my last time spent with them. Semina is the school's front of house, and the first person you will likely speak to when you start a course with them. She knows her stuff. There is a kindness in her voice and a warmth in her smile that always makes you feel like you've been welcomed in their home. And if you're good, she'll go for coffee runs during the in-class portion of your course. Naeem has taken a slight step back from instruction, but remains a passionate educator at heart. There are very few people who genuinely care that their students 'get it', and he is one of those people. He helped put the finishing touches on my driving skills during my final week of the A course. I'd say this...when it comes to learning with Naeem, you get out of it what you put into it. Put your phone away, look him in the eye, ask the right questions, and he will be your guide. Ajay was my primary instructor . He is laid back, and has the right energy to teach students. Being in a truck with a new student can be extremely stressful, but Ajay is always calm and prepared to give you the right information when he sees that you need it. By the time the course ended, he felt like more of a friend than just another driving instructor. All that being said, I highly recommend that you enroll in a Pine Valley course. I have had to take short lessons with a few other schools in the GTA as a work requirement, so I've seen what else is out there. There is no comparison between other schools, and what you will learn at Pine Valley.

Fantastic experience: Pine Valley Driving Academy provided me with exceptional training for my class DZ endorsement. From the first day that I emailed Shamina I knew there was a sense of family in this company. The attention to detail given to me, by the instructors, Wasif and Harry was impeccable. Harry instilled a sense of confidence in me that I will carry for a lifetime. I had no idea what to expect from a driving school and was pleasantly surprised to leave with not only an abundance of knowledge, skills, and the ability to pass the road test, but also a sense of pride and belonging to the Pine Valley family. I am grateful for their commitment to my success and highly recommend Pine Valley Driving Academy.

Fantastic experience: Pine Valley is a great school to learn everything you need to obtain a DZ license, I contacted 4 other DZ schools but none were as forthright and honest as Samina from Pine Valley, learning from Harry and Wasif was easy, they take the time to make sure you’re prepared. 100% will recommend them to everyone I know who needs their DZ license.

Fantastic experience: Hi, I just passed my AZ today, It was just because of Mr Naeem and Mr Ajay, they taught me in a very professional way, I don't just learn a truck driving actually I learned from them Safe and professional truck driving, Both are very good and positive Teachers, I strongly recommend Pine Valley Driving Academy for AZ and DZ driving learning. THE BEST Academy in GTA..... I am thankful to Mr Naeem and Mr Ajay for there efforts and cooperation to get my AZ Liscense.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this company enough! I took 3 lessons prior to taking my DZ drive test and I passed on the first try! Everything is organized in such a productive and student friendly way, making learning easy! I am a pretty nervous person and both Harry and Wasif helped me to feel comfortable and supported me on my drive test day! The company provides the vehicle for test day and it’s the same one you learn in. If you are planning to take your DZ I highly recommend Pine Valley and their amazing staff!

Fantastic experience: I just passed my DZ drive test yesterday and I have got to say I am so impressed with what I was able to learn over 7 hours and with 0 experience driving a large truck before. Harry, my instructor, took on the challenge though and was amazing at laying out every single tool, every single piece of information I needed to pass the test. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and detail oriented. You can tell he cares about getting his students what they want. I am so grateful for my experience at Pine Valley and to Harry and the rest of the team who made the whole process seamless. If you’re looking for a school to get you on the road with a DZ licence - THIS is the place to do it! You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Best truck driving school in the GTA. PASSED my A/Z on my first test with confidence. Semina at the reception has a generous welcoming demeanour and worked deligently with me on scheduling. Additionally Aj and Harry the instructors were so kind and generous and worked well with me in identifying my strength and overcoming my weekness in my own pace. Honestly couldn't aske for more. Forever grateful to this school. Thrilled for what the future holds.

Positive experience: I recently went to Pine Valley and had an amazing experience from the first time I entered into the office door right until my very last lesson. First 3 days I did lessons and and on my fourth day they booked my test with Ministry and I passed my DZ. They are very understanding and gave me great feedback throughout the entire process.

Fantastic experience: Just completed my DZ license with Pine Valley, I regret not taking the opportunity to do my air brake endorsement with them. However I did do my D class license with them. Harpreet was my instructor, he was outstandingly knowledgeable. I’d consider yourself lucky if you have the opportunity to do your training with him. The prices at this commercial truck driving school are more than fair and I would highly recommend this school for anyone looking to get a commercial license!

Durrel Thompson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Pinevalley Driving Academy is a very good school. Very organized and attentive to every student’s needs. Semina in the office handled all the paperwork with a breeze. Was very resourceful with an questions I had. You tell her what you need and she steers you in the right direction. Harry teaches you the basics of driving , reversing and inspections and then Ajay teaches you how to perfect it. They both take their time to focus on your weaknesses together, and if you having difficulties with something in particular they take the time to work with you 1 on 1 until you get it. On 3 occasions Ajay spent an extra hour after classes to help me master my shifting. Naeem makes sure that nothing is missed in training and that all the trucks are in good working order. Speaks with you 1 on 1 and makes sure your comfortable and ready for your exam. Notifies us with any updates or changes at the test centre. Mostly overseas you’re entire experience at Pinevalley. They work well with all ages, genders and nationalities. I successfully passed my AZ manual on my first try and I couldn’t have done it without the Pinevalley team. I highly recommend them if you’re looking to driving trucks or buses

Nikita Pentii 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Probably the best school in Toronto. An extremely positive experience. First of all, they are not trying to just suck as much money from you as possible. In my case, I wanted to take the eight-week course first, but Semina (the lady from the reception / co-founder of the school) convinced me that the regular course would be enough for me. And she was right! + I would like to specifically thank her for the constant flexibility in terms of the lesson schedule and for her valuable advice. Secondly, the quality of teaching. The program is phenomenally well planned. Teaching materials and lectures by Naeem are simply an invaluable fund of knowledge. He will give you answers to any questions. Instructors Ajay and Harry deserve special thanks. How much patience and effort they have invested in teaching me to drive and not only, just beyond words. Thank you guys! In a word, everything in this school is aimed at making you a safe and well-prepared driver. If you decided to get an AZ license, you simply won't find a better place to learn than the Pine Valley Driving Academy. 10/10 Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Pine Valley was amazing. I did my DZ training through them and everything was taught thoroughly from the driving lessons to the Inspection.

Joshua Romeo 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My time with Pine Valley was phenomenal, I took their DZ course and Harry, Naaem and Wasif were all great instructors. They make each lesson very clear with what you need to achieve and the steps necessary to get there. Their course isn't bloated and even with just 7.5 hours of time give you enough driving hours and hands on with the other parts of the test to feel confident in success. The Wasif asked on more than one occasion what I thought I needed to improve upon and we tackled the intricacies of the test in a way that only made me more certain of my abilities. It's the level of expertise of the team and their motivation to see success in their students that makes this recommendation a no brainer. The Fire Trucks are also very fun to drive and it's hard not grinning ear to ear behind the wheel.

Fantastic experience: Best instructors in the business. I have nothing but good things to say. They taught me the RIGHT way how to drive a fire truck. I couldn't have passed my DZ without the help of the Pine Valley family. Harry & Gyehjdd showed me all the proper procedures and how to safely drive and operate. The owner also took time out of his day to take me on the road as well, which was amazing. You would be lucky to have such experienced instructors teaching you. I passed the first time with no issues. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Alex Maddix 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is an absolutely amazing company that is more than worth the money they ask for. This isn’t just where you go if you want to pass your DZ, this is where you go if you want to know everything about operating such a large apparatus safely. As someone without any commercial driving experience, I was a little skeptical of the process at first. It seemed like a lot of information to process all at once and they made it sound easy (like I was just being given answers). However, after going through all of the training and obtaining my DZ drivers licence, I can attest to the excellent education that Pine Valley provides. From day one they will give you all of the information you need to study so that you can truly do it at your own pace - they will encourage you to practice frequently and will test your knowledge everyday after the first. Naeem is quick to get you into a firetruck so that you can have as much driving time as possible. His instructors are patient and friendly and encourage you to feel comfortable and confident while driving the truck - in addition, the truck they train you to drive is the one you drive on the day of your test thus further ensuring that you feel ready the day of. I was primarily taught by Harry and he was an amazing instructor that went above and beyond his duties to ensure I was ready for the test. Overall, everyone I interacted with in this company was unbelievably polite and went out of their way to make me smile and laugh. They more than prepared me to pass the test on the first attempt and when my anxiety got in the way they were the first to comfort me and help provide me another opportunity as quickly as possible. When I ran into financial issues and time constraints as a result, they did everything that they could to ensure I could continue to pursue this goal and motivated me to not give up on my dreams. I can not express with words my gratitude to them for everything they did to help me. And I have no doubts that they would do the same for any student who steps foot on their lot. If you want to feel safe while you learn and to know you’re a safe truck driver when you pass, then honestly and truly Pine Valley is the school for you.

Fantastic experience: From the initial answer of the phone by Semina, to the first time meeting Naeem and the training crew you get a feeling. Something you rarely experience in a place of education let alone the magnitude of the things you have to be able to learn to be successful on the path you are about to embark. A feeling of belonging and supreme importance. Driving for a living isn’t easy and it definitely isn’t safe, at Pine Valley Driving Academy you’ll gain more than the tools and skills you’ll need to start and at the same time you’ll get a glimpse of the amazing knowledge and experience you have yet to even taste. As a young driver, I feel extremely confident in my ability to keep everyone around me safe thanks to the processes and wisdom that I’ve been show by Naeem through things as simple as a thorough pre trip and what to look for in the morning, all the way down to what to expect in your first few months on the road. It’s not easy to drive for a living, but it definitely can’t be easy to educate others on all there is to expect as a new comer. Naeem and his staff do an excellent job at setting realistic goals that will ultimately bring you nothing but success on your path in learning what it means to be a safe, diligent and knowledgeable operator. Naeem, Semina and all the staff at Pine Valley Driving Academy are truly angels of the industry and for a driving school, this sacred place has not only prepared me. But, created a healthy and successful mindset that I carry everyday to keep everyone around me safe and ensure the trucks I drive are in there best condition. Thank you all of you for this amazing experience and for welcoming me into the industry with open arms.

Fantastic experience: About a dozen people had recommended this driving school to me, and I was definitely not disappointed. The staff are all incredibly knowledgable and helpful - these guys genuinely want to see you successfully pass your road test. Harry was patient with answering all my questions, super encouraging, yet knew just how to challenge me when I needed that extra push outside of my comfort zone. I'm incredibly grateful I went to this school and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in getting their trucking license.

Fantastic experience: Pine valley is a great school to get your AZ /DZ license. All the instructors are really professional and they give you proper instructions and knowledge about all the things which is required. I really owe big time to my instructor Ajay he was really helpful and very positive person he helped me with all my training for my AZ license without him i wouldn't get it in my first try and harry is also a great person and one of the other instructors at pine valley both of them were very friendly you can ask them whatever questions you want to ask about the course. one on one training was given and they give you all the knowledge of inspection even if its off the test they teach you more things which you come across while driving a tractor trailer and the prices of the course is cheaper comparing to other places. Great school!!! Highly recommended!!!! happy to get my AZ on first try.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely best company to work with for you commercial driving license. Instructor Harry goes above and beyond to help you feel calm and confident when preparing for your test! Your not just a number but a person who may need help in certain areas and they understand that to a tee. All staff are wonderful to communicate with and strive to help you achieve success. 10/10 Would not consider anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Pine Valley was a great place to learn all the skills needed for my DZ driver's licence. The staff in their office made it very easy to send all the information I needed to provide, schedule my test date, and was always quick to respond with any questions I had. Also the instructors were very thorough and supportive in all my training, and they helped give me the confidence to succeed with my test. If in the future I have any need to upgrade my licence, or need further practice I would always choose Pine Valley first!

Negative experience: I was just now watching their video on YouTube and of course the comment section was blocked. The blond girl who was supposedly trying to teach what to do, seemed that she knows nothing and in on point all the hoses were just about to be pulled and cut while separating the tractor from trailer. Seems to me that the school is incompetent and is just trying to survive by lying to people. I don't think I will pay a penny to this school.

Fantastic experience: Great school. I was initially going to pay for the 8 week AZ course, but was talked down into the shorter course. Pine Valley doesn't pressure you into over-spending if it's not needed. All of the training is done 1 on 1 so you have an opportunity to ask questions and clarify anything that you might not understand. You're provided with all of the documentation needed to pass the test, it's up to you to learn it. The instructors Harry and Ajay were great, and have a lot of knowledge to pass on if you just ask. On road instruction was excellent, Inspection items were explained clearly, and backing instruction was excellent as well. I was able to pass my AZ road test on the first try, and would recommend Pine Valley to anyone looking for a training school.

Fantastic experience: I found this place after completing my NFPA at FESTI and did both my D and Z portion via Pine Valley. Everyone there was very professional, friendly, helpful and quick responding. Harry was the instructor that I had during my training and he is beyond knowledgeable, helpful, answered all my questions and gave me the the right tools for me to pass my driving test. The first day was a bit overwhelming with just how many new things you are taught, but Harry was very reassuring, goes over it if you're having difficulty and gives you videos/materials to take home to help with studying. He even told me to make sure I write down any and all questions that I had so that we can go over them the following day so that there isn't any confusion going in on the test day. Without Pine Valley and Harry's help, I most definitely would not have passed, but after the training, the test day was super easy because everything they asked me, I had already gone over in detail with Harry. I would recommend giving them a shot if you are in need for your trucking license and I would ask for Harry to be your instructor.
