Fantastic experience: Words can not express how amazing Les and Debbie are. Both my kids took Young Drivers, Les was there driving instructor. Les is an AMAZING INSTRUCTOR!! Both Debbie and Les are very compassionate and accommodating, working with the students and parents with busy life schedules. Definitely 5 ⭐️
Fantastic experience: Hey, I had an awesome experience! My instructor, Johnson, was super friendly and helped me get my G2. I'm really grateful to Young Drivers and Johnson for all their help.
Fantastic experience: Learning with Young Drivers was truly a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Being someone who had lived in the city and relied on transit for the last decade of their life (with very little driving experience beforehand), I was very anxious to begin driving as an adult. When getting assigned to an in-car instructor, this was taken into account and I was paired with Les. I cannot say enough great things about Les! If it weren't for him, I'm not sure I would have the relationship with driving I do today. He was patient, understanding, kind and encouraging. His calm approach to our lessons made me comfortable enough to be honest about how I was feeling; my anxieties, concerns, etc. Where other people may have been condescending toward my (mostly) irrational fears, Les took them seriously and helped me work through them. He applied real-life driving knowledge in addition to what I learned in my courses which made for a great experience. Les treated me as an equal and I never dreaded a lesson or left a lesson feeling discouraged. He was so incredibly helpful in assisting me to gain the confidence I needed to pass my G2 test. Thank you, Les! I highly recommend learning with Young Drivers.

Fantastic experience: Was understanding the whole way through, I saw progression and was given amazing instructions by my instructor Gord. I succeeded on my road test the first try and now feel comfortable on the road despite being terrified when I first started. Thank you for your patience and for giving me the skills I needed to stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! As someone who is in their 30s and just getting their licence for the first time, I found Young Drivers to be the perfect school for me. I was very lucky to have Johnson as my instructor. He's truly an amazing person and teacher. Very patient, polite, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. It was because of his teachings, I was able to pass my G2. Just wanted to give a BIG thanks to Young Drivers and Johnson!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with YD Belleville. Johnson was a great driving instructor who worked very hard to accommodate our difficult schedule.
Fantastic experience: If it weren't for young drivers I wouldn't have the confidence I do now while driving. I learned a lot of things on safety and what to do in bad situations. I really enjoyed the time I had in class with Trish, she's a very welcoming person and always happy to teach! She's has quite the sense of humor which made it more enjoyable! Leslie was my driving instructor and to me, Leslie felt just like family. Another person who has a good sense of humor -very sweet person. I'm sad that I won't see them again. Young drivers really cares for your safety and I highly recommend taking the program! Learn and have fun! Thank you Young drivers! Thank you Trish, Leslie and Debbie !!

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Instructor very relaxed and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, efficient, patient, trusting. We just finished our 3rd child completing the Young Drivers program with Leslie. He was very flexible with schedules and developed an amazing relationship with the kids. Most importantly he provided top notch training to our kids. Where I thought I would worry, I don’t. All of our kids drive with confidence, awareness and safety. What more could a parent ask for. Debbie was so supportive and kind to help with the online needs and navigating the program. 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Amazing program for beginner drivers at the age of 16 in Canada. Great instructors, examiners, teachers and organization to work with alongside DriveTest Canada!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous. 2 out of 3 of our children have gone through Young Drivers so far and received their G and G2 with flying colors. Absolutely wonderful. Stress free for us knowing the quality of instructional they have received. Trish was absolutely fantastic. She is with the students from beginning to the very end and that includes working and staying with them when taking their road tests! Always a fantastic and positive attitude! Thanks YD.
Fantastic experience: Very kind people
Fantastic experience: I went into this with little to no knowledge about the many rules of the road before I started Young Drivers. As I completed the online and in-car lessons, my knowledge progressed immensely over time. I am glad that I enrolled in this, and my instructor (Leslie) made it that much better. Because of him, I went from a timid and anxious driver to a confident and well-minded driver, with a couple of laughs and learning experiences along the way. I highly recommend to anyone who has been thinking of taking a drivers ed. course because this was a very useful and enjoyable experience.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, kind and patient people. Make driving less scary and more safe. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I learned so much during my time with Young Drivers. Leslie helped me overcome my anxiety about driving and helped me become a confident and safe driver. I am so grateful for Young Drivers and Leslie!
Fantastic experience: Young drivers really help you get used to the roads, conditions, and for the g2 test. I, as well as many of the friends I made at young drivers, all loved the environment they created to help us learn difficult things the fun way.
Fantastic experience: Really nice people and amazing teachers, taught me how to drive well and leave bad habits behind
Fantastic experience: This course was perfect for preparing for my road test! Would 100% recommend, everyone was super patient and nice!
Fantastic experience: My daughter is enjoying the in class instruction that is helping her affirm her knowledge...giving her the confidence she needs...I should not teach her my "bad habits! In car lessons next week...I'll comment further then...
Fantastic experience: Tina, my driving instructor, helped me through the drivers course, and with her wealth if knowledge and ability to teach, I was able to get my G2 first try. Without her help, I would not have been able to succeed to such a high degree or with the confidence that I did. Thanks to the program and all it did for me.
Fantastic experience: YD helped me get over my fear of driving! Leslie was a fantastic instructor, very calm and very good at his job! Today I have my G2 and I'm magnitudes more confident than I was at the start of the summer.
Fantastic experience: Best driving experience for beginners. I would greatly recommend Young Drivers, if you are looking to learn or improve your driving skills. Great instructors and great training.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend enrolling in young drivers. Extremely worth it, they were very helpful with teaching me how to drive safely and responsibly. I probably wouldn’t have passed with out their help, both in classroom and in car lessons. All in all a very valuable learning experience and I encourage others to go through young drivers as well, 5* all the way.
Negative experience: Update your google phone number when calling a specific branch it should go to that branch not the main call centre to only be told you wasted your time on hold for over 2hours and you need to dial another number that isn't listed instead.
Fantastic experience: I passed me G2 test I had the best instructor Leslie Martin I will forever be greatful for this experience as the things I learned driving with young drivers will stick with me for the rest of my life!
Fantastic experience: Great program! YD really values the safety of the drivers (us students and others on the road) and provide amazing safe, crash preventative driving skills. Tina was always so patient and answered all of my questions/concerns. Appointments for lessons were efficient, there was great communication and it is a very comfortable learning environment.
Fantastic experience: I went through the Young Drivers course and have to say it was worth it for someone who is new to driving. In my experience, there was plenty of available slots of time for my lessons which really helps if you have a busy schedule. The instructors are all very kind and helpful, and really prepared me for my driving test.
Fantastic experience: Overall, my experience with Belleville YD was great. The course’s theory was comprehensive and helped me realize that there is much more to safe driving than just the basics. My instructor was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and prepared me well for my G2 test.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend young drivers it really helped me be more confident on the road Tina was my driving instructor she was the best i could have got she helped me so much
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy everything i did at young drivers. The really helped me and i learned a lot. The lessons were very enjoyable and i had a great instructor!! I’m very happy i trained at young drivers.
Positive experience: Young Drivers is an excellent program, and I would encourage all new drivers to go through it. They provide many helpful lessons, and the in-car instruction was amazing. I would give the in-car lessons a 10/10, he helped prepare me for my driving test, and answered all my questions and was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Very knowledgeable. I would give the online course an 8/10, very good lessons, I learned a lot, just encountered multiple bugs with the course that led to me having to get a lesson reset since it would not let me proceed, but other than those bugs it was a top notch program.
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Tricia. She taught me so well and I went from knowing practically nothing to being a pretty decent driver (in her opinion she’d probably say I’m really good ). She is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and is so understanding. There’s never a dull moment lol. I was so scared that it would be awkward, but straight from the start I was so comfortable driving with her. She never freaks out if you do a small mess up and she’s so kind. If you want someone who will teach you but also give you a bellyache from laughing too much, then I’d definitely recommend her. Ps. Trish I know you’re reading this lmao.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience. Debbie at the office was fantastic to deal with, going above and beyond for us several times. The driving instructor (Gord) was great, my son had a really good experience with him. I feel the cost of the program is very well worth the outcome and the confidence he now has as a new driver.
Fantastic experience: The young drivers company is an excellent , approved driving school. They really value the safety of the drivers (us students and others on the road) and provide amazing safe, crash preventative driving skills. My in car instructor, Gord, and in class instructor/teacher Tricia are so patient, and are great teachers. Appointments for lessons were efficient, there was great communication and it is a very comfortable learning environment. As a new driver this course, no matter what the skill level of the driver whether they’ve driven very little or a lot, is very beneficial. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend, had an amazing instructor. Young drivers helped teach me the rules of the road online as well as in car and I was able to get my license earlier then expected, which was amazing.
Fantastic experience: My driver was Tricia, she was amazing. She was always patient and calm whenever any feedback was being given, and she was so easy and nice to talk to while in lessons. one more thing to add..... she also made the classroom environment so fun and excepting, which if your shy is so nice! I would recommend her to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Love Trish, shes great
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! 10/10
Fantastic experience: Despite the price I chose to go with Young Drivers of Canada and I am very glad that I made this decision. In-class sessions provide very useful information. In-car lessons will teach important skills to be a safe driver on the road and also helps the new driver gain confidence in their driving skills - which is very important for the road test. I passed my road test the first time despite me being unable to practice my driving beside Young Drivers. Special thanks to Tina DeVries for her patience and teachings. I have been driving for 2 weeks now and I feel more confident on the road because of what I learned and practiced at Young Drivers.
Fantastic experience: Being a mature woman going for my license late in life i wanted to try a few professional lessons prior to my drive test. Someone besides my husband and more impartial. The gentleman i had as my instructor (Everett) was very patient, professional and taught me a lot as well as some very helpful tips. I feel much more confident now in my driving and ability to pass my drive test. Thank you Young (& Old), Drivers and thank you Everett.
Fantastic experience: Young Drivers has prepared me for for a lifetime of driving. The experienced instructors created a safe and welcoming environment to learn and build confidence behind the wheel. Young Drivers is an excellent choice for any new driver.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was nice and respectful and they always helped get everything done safely and effectively on ways to drive
Fantastic experience: Young Drivers was a very educational and valuable program. In class sessions were delivered in a timely manner and there was no wasted time. I learned lots of lessons that I would have never even thought about before. My in car lessons with Gord were great, made great conversation and still taught very efficiently through the whole thing. Day of G2 he came early to help me prepare and was very encouraging and patient. Definitely a five star review and 100% worth the money!! Thanks guys!!
Fantastic experience: A really great place over all, not a bad thing to say about them. I passed my G2 test first try. Gord was my instructor and he was super friendly and very patient, A great instructor and definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to take drive training.
Fantastic experience: Gord has been nothing short of complete legend. He had lots of patience and seemed interested in teaching me how to drive. He is likely the reason why I passed both my G2 test and G test first try.
Fantastic experience: Getting my licence at the age of 60 was not something I took lightly. Thank goodness Everett had a sense of humour. Course was excellent. Perhaps it's time to change the name to "New Drivers of Canada".
Fantastic experience: a great way to learn the skills necessary to pass your test on the first try, as well as make you a more prepared driver overall. particularly helpful if you are anxious driving with your parent or they are not always available to help practice your skills.
Fantastic experience: Its was a great course, definitely worth it. I suggest YD for new drivers, in-class lessons were great and they really take you around the basics and make driving seem fun and less scary. The in-car lessons, those are the lessons i looked forward to the most YD guided me to be a safe and efficient driver. Shoutout to Gord for helping me passed my G2 on the first try!
Fantastic experience: 10/10 seriously, they teach you things which can and will keep you safe on the road. You're learning to drive a metal vehicle, and I'd recommend this course to anyone who wants to do so more safely.
Fantastic experience: I got to learn many new and useful things. I would definitely recommend people to take this course. Everett has been the best instructor. Thank you YD for this wonderful experience.
Fantastic experience: I was confident with my choice in young drivers! There worth every penny tho I dont see the word pedestrians the same now. And a shout out to Gord who handles drivers with behavior problems well. ;)
Fantastic experience: Gord was awesome and became like a friend, I always felt very safe and comfortable to ask questions. Young Drivers taught me how to drive and for that I am super grateful!
Fantastic experience: I had Everett when I took Young Drivers not only was his very knowledgable but he was very patient and kind. He helped me a lot right before my road test. I would definitely reccomend YA to any new driver!
Fantastic experience: Young drivers course helped me gain confidence to drive. My instructor took great care in making sure I learn things the right way!
Fantastic experience: The Belleville Young Drivers of Canada was great to work with! As a person living with anxiety who was twenty years late getting my license, Gord and Everett were extremely understanding and supportive and made learning to drive a breeze.
Fantastic experience: Great teachers that found a way to avoid boring me to death.
Negative experience: No manual
Fantastic experience: Wonderful instructors who dedicate a lot of time to making sure you succeed. The possibility of the refresher lesson before the G test was not only extremely helpful but also reassuring before the test.
Fantastic experience: Such a great driving school. The instructor I had was so nice and was a great teacher. This driving school is a bit more expensive than others but it's worth every penny! I would highly recommend this school!!!!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional experience with Everett my Instuctar who instilled confidence and made driving effortless for me. My brother can’t believe that I can do. But i makes it possible by the helpful tips of my Instuctar. Today is a great day for me i got G license direct from G1 . Thank you Everett and Thank you young Drivers Belleville
Fantastic experience: Good Experience
