Fantastic experience: I recently completed my Class 1 driver's license training at Gold Star Professional Driving School , and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The instructors, Tom, Rob, and Dusan, were highly professional and approachable. They were patient with all of my questions and made sure I fully understood every aspect of the training. The management was also great. I highly recommend Gold Star Professional Driving School to anyone looking for Class 1 driver’s license training. Their dedication to their students' success is clear, and they provide a great foundation for anyone entering the trucking industry.

Fantastic experience: I work as a recruiter for a major trucking company and use Gold Star for all of our third-party testing and schooling for our candidates. I could not recommend them more, they provide fair testing to candidates as well as great feedback to prospective employers. They have bailed me out a number of times with fitting my candidates into cancellations to help us hire them quicker, and are always quick to response to any inquiries.

Negative experience: they are scammers don’t take your driving license with them. They wasted my time. Don’t trust these guys

Fantastic experience: Great school! Went from never being behind the drivers seat of a truck in my life or driving a manual transmission vehicle and passing my Class 3 with the 32 hour course package. Very experienced instructors who genuinely want to help you and keep the roads safe for everyone. I would not hesitate in recommending anyone interested in getting into the industry to go with this school. Keep up the good work!!!

Fantastic experience: I passed MELT 1 and get my class 1 CDL at one try. The main reason is we have very strong instructor on road / In cap and theory course in this school.

All the instructors are very nice and helpful Greg, Rob Smith, Dusan, Rob Balan, Baba, and Jaz .

I recommend Gold star driving school to everyone who wants to get class 1 or 3 driver licence.

Fantastic experience: Great school. The instructors are nice, patient and they all have many years of experience. You get a chance to have multiple instructors which helps you learn different skills. The lady at the office is nice as well and very flexible with the scheduling. You will do more than what is needed for the road test such as chain up, trailer axle sliding, fifth wheel sliding and different kind of backing.

Fantastic experience: Gold Star Professional Driving School is the best Driving School in BC and recommends to everyone who needs driving lessons whatever Class level they are aiming for. They helped me a lot to reach my goal. I passed my Class 1 road test on the first attempt and I am very glad about the instructor and management of the school.

Fantastic experience: I will recommend Gold Star Professional Driving School to everyone who needs driving lessons whatever Class level they are aiming for. Because, even though, there are other schools, from day 1 when I contacted here and until the day I got my licence, they took care of me like family and helped me reach my goal.

Overall, they are not only a Gold Star, but they are 5 Gold Stars for me. Keep up great work.

Fantastic experience: Hi everyone. I've recently passed road test for class 1 on may 16th. And it couldn't have gone smoother then it was. With the confidence I've gained in this school ,it made me pass easily and without any test anxiety and ect. I have been trained by true professionals Dusko(Dan) - the owner is an extremely professional,friendly individual who always provides feedback on the driving and overall. Also William,Bubba,Greg, and Dusan-these are instructors you truly want to learn with if you plan to pass and do everything smooth and at first. Before theschooli have never ridden a truck with the trailer and never dealt with manual transmitting big trucks(and manual shifting in here is different from regular manual shifting. Myoverallexperience with this school cannot be less then -spectacular. Not only I would recommend to attend this specific school(not a comeercial), bit in some way would insist of going there directly if you want to pass. To be hones, I've been choosing in between two other schools as well, however, by the luck of chance I happend to being the right one! This is the place to go, and all instructors are extremely helpful easy -going and professional. These are one of the main reasons to chose Goldstar among others: 1.All are professional with high level of knowledge and experience 2. Very flexible if you need to adjust your schedule 3. One of the most competitive in pricing and flexible with payments. 4. All equipment is in excellent condition. 5. The passing rate of students is very high according to ICBC. My overall experience with the school was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Gold Star, for bringing another star of experience into my life path.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are excellent. I failed on my first attempt and the school gave me a free lesson and went over my weaknesses with me to prepare me for the road test. I passed on my second attempt. Thank you Gold Star Driving school. Thank you all the instructors.

Fantastic experience: Best driving school in Vancouver area

Fantastic experience: Office staff was very helpful, flexible, accommodating and most of all William who was my instructor was very helpful, patient, respectful and extremely knowledgeable. I had a great experience and strongly recommend that driving school.

Fantastic experience: Passed road test on the 1st attempt! ALL their instructors are super good, no matter what mistakes I make during practice on the road they will keep me calm and guide me carry on. Gold Star is the driving school that can be trusted, you will get your Class 1 FOR SURE!

Fantastic experience: Gold Star Professional Driving School is an excellent place to start your transportation career. Their family owned approach and excellent career instructors offer an unbeatable combination at a very fair price. The team helped me complete my MELT program, from - never been in a semi tractor before - to easily passing my ICBC road test - in under six weeks. They did whatever they could to be flexible and accommodating from the first call to the last. I can’t imagine a better school to become a professional driver. Drive safe!

Fantastic experience: Gold Star professional driving school is excellent. They were extremely flexible with arranging driving practice times with me and helped me gain a lot of confidence quickly, having no prior experience driving large vehicles. I was trained with a great deal of patience by Dusko Dan and all the highly experienced instructors.I passed my driving test for my Class 1 license. I also found the pricing to be quite good compared to other schools, and did not feel pressured to pay for any more lessons than was necessary to achieve my goals. Overall I would highly recommend this school if you're interested in becoming a professional driver. Jatinder Singh

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this school. Got my class 1 in first attempt with only 12 lessons. Customer service and the way they teach you is superb. All the instructors are very experienced. Best school in all BC.

Negative experience: They waisted so much of my time despite multiple inquiries and message, now my learner will expire before I could get an appointment for road test . Very Unprofessional

Fantastic experience: This school is so good. School staff is so supportive.. good for new students i passed my class 1 manual license today

Fantastic experience: 10/10 would recommend this driving school. I Passed my Class 3 road test first try after a few lessons. Top notch instructors!

Fantastic experience: Helpful, I appreciate the customer service.

Fantastic experience: I got my license today, i just had 9 classes and i have never driven a truck before i had my class 5 before, i thank dan and greg for this, most of my classes were with dan and 2 classes with greg both of them are amazing and teaches very well i recommend these guys 100% go for it and just listen carefully whatever they say you will succeed in your test, Thankyou CHEERS ✌

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this school. I took the lessons with Dan and Greg for my class 1 with manual transmission. I have never driven a semi before specially with manual transmission after 12 lessons I passed my road test. Customer service was absolutely the best with Anna. What I experienced with Gold Star professional were Service, Quality and then Money unlike the other schools they were the other way around. Lastly, for anyone who are on the border line this is the place to learn. Good luck drivers, be safe on the road! Thank you again Gold Star!

Fantastic experience: This driving school is fantastic. Professional instructors, extremely courteous adaptable with scheduling and they want to help you achieve your goal. I big big time recommend this driving school for new comers

Fantastic experience: Best driving school in bc

Positive experience: This is a great place to get your class 1. They are flexible to suit your schedule, and Souren is A very good teacher. He even offered free pre trip inspection practice on the trucks with instruction, which was extremely helpful. Thanks Gold Star!! You guys are awesome!!

Fantastic experience: This is best driving school.mr souren is very good instructor

Fantastic experience: I want to thank gold star and personally Mr.Souren, for helping me a lot in getting my class 1. Souren has a very professional, direct and effective teaching style. The school booked my road test on the same day as a my birthday and i passed my pretrip and road test first time! Thank you Souren and gold star.

Fantastic experience: Gold star driving school is a best place for newcomer drivers. They have all good driving instructors for training. But especially I would be thankful to Mr. Souren who gave me very excellent training during the lessons. so I got my driving license in the first test. I am very thankful all of them.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic driving school! Dan is a great instructor! I learned a lot of driving skills that made me successful in passing my class 1 road test! I would highly recommend this driving school to anyone!

Fantastic experience: It was a very great experience learning with gold star and I am thankful toh Mr. Souren who gave his best efforts for making me pass the test easily. My examiner was fully satisfied from my test and she told me your teacher is brilliant because me and my friend 0 demerits in pre trip. We both cleared the test at first chance. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: This driving school is fantastic. Professional instructors, extremely courteous adaptable with scheduling and they want to help you achieve your goal. The staff take pride in their training and work. Great service is hard to find but I found it here at Gold Star and they were also very affordable with modern trucks. If you somehow manage to fail your test it is on you. They have addressed every concern of mine throughout the entire process. Very hard working people. I recommended them to anyone.

Negative experience: Firstly, the owner Dan seems to be least interested with teaching shifting skills for class 1 and does judging work more than teaching. On my first three lessons with Dan, I was so frustrated with shifting gears because I hardly knew any techniques. That was a lot of money to waste. Then on forth lessons with Greg I felt so comfortable. He is an amazing instructor. Secondly, I am disappointed with the way they messed up the schedule all the time. They changed timing of almost all my lessons on last minute under different pretext. one excuse was that since I was insisting on having lessons with Greg they need to change my timings but still my last two lessons were not with Greg. I was given a lesson at 10 AM on the day when I have exam at 1.15. What to do after two hour lesson till 12- just waiting at ICBC especially when I worked graveyard shift the night before. Since the exam was pre booked, I hardly had options to refuse whenever they offered lesson after changing the schedule. I failed and took three more lessons but same story again and changing either timing or instructor the last minute but this time I refused. There were many other problems too. Overall, it was no way a professional approach especially when student spends a lot of money on these lessons.

Fantastic experience: Well I'm in the middle of taking my class 1 lessons with Dan. I could not have asked for a better Teacher than Dan. He is always making sure I stay positive while driving the truck with a 53 foot can on the back. He's super patient. Always buddy don't worry and makes me feel more comfortable. I have my test in a few days and I'm super crazy nervous. Worried about the pre trip part. Driving I'm doing good. Crossing my fingers and hopefully it goes well for me. Highly recommend Gold star Driving School. No doubt,they are the best around.

Fantastic experience: Best school Best instructors. All instructors are professional and they know how to teach. Best thing is they are not after giving lessons and making money. Understand your needs and requirments and gives you genuine advise. Highly recommend to everyone. I did not had any experience driving trucks but I got my class 1 licence on my 1st road test after few good lessons from gold star guys.

Fantastic experience: CLASS 1 I am very grateful that my friend recommended this School to me. I have 0(zero) experience in driving Semi. I've been wanting to drive one but to find a good school these days are hard to find. And also it doesn't come cheap. So my friend recommended this School because he had a very good experience with them. To make the story short, I went and sign up for lessons. Due to lack of funding, I only took 18 hrs driving lesson with them. It wasn't an ideal time frame for a newbie but Dan(the owner) and the rest of the team (Greg and Steve) managed to teach me all I needed within that span. They are very professional, patient, understanding and knowledgeable on their profession. Yes, they get upset at me (they are human too) because I messes up on my gear shifting (downshifting especially) and turns (set up) but at the end of the day they encouraged me to continue on learning and expect me to come back for my next session. Watching youtubes clips on theories on how to's will help you gain knowledge but not really helping you at all until you actually step inside a semi truck and drive. Yesterday (Feb 25, 2019), was my road test at ICBC and guest what. I PASSED THE TEST!!!.. So from zero hrs (no experience at all) to 18 hrs of training, I am now a proud Class 1 licence holder all because of their great teaching. I don't know about other Schools out there but I totally recommend this School if you are looking for one. Thank you GOLD STAR. I'm forever grateful. BernardM

Fantastic experience: Best driving school

Fantastic experience: Geoff is the best Class 5 instructor in the world！ I was so nervous before the test and he really helped me to clam down. He really gives me lots good advices and just likes a big brother to me. He really knows how to use positive language and cheer people up！ Highly recommend！ Pass my class 5 test today！

Fantastic experience: after wasting time and money i went to gold star and met with mr dan . i explained everthing and requested to provide earlier test date. Dan did it and booked my test date within 3 weeks. Greg and Steve were awsome instructor, specially Greg explained his own way. thx gold star.

Fantastic experience: I took a lesson with Ana, she is amazing: a lot of good advices for the road test! Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Gold star was awesome. I just completed my test today. I couldn't even wait for one day to give them my review. They are awesome trainers. Ana, Dan and Geoff. Oh wow ! You made me pass this road test so easily. Not even a 0.1 percent doubt in recommending this driving school.Very dedicated teachers. They want their students to pass. Excellent set of people. I just took lessons with them for a week and this is my very first attempt in Canada. And yes I PASSED! Thanks a lot for your support.

Negative experience: Driver cuts me off while I'm walking to work. He was distracted as he was turning onto the driveway by ICBC, too busy waving to someone else in another car to notice a pedestrian. As I walk by, I said, loudly (given my frustration): "Never mind him! Pay attention!". Then the driver (I'm assuming this is the owner) opens his car window and yells, "WHADYA SAY TO ME?!?!" and then proceeds to honk his horn when I keep on walking. What I find disturbing (and mildly amusing) is that this behaviour is being displayed by the representative of a DRIVING SCHOOL! If I were a prospective student or parent, I would not consider this type of behaviour in-line with a professional driving instructor. Very disappointing!

Fantastic experience: I took my class 1 training with gold star driving school. This school is nothing short of spectacular. My quest to get my class 1 driving license has been a tough and costly journey. I first went to Valley Driving school, the first instructor in the Surrey location would always give me the same vague answer whenever I asked him a question "depends on the situation." That is all he would say. I asked to be transferred to their Coquitlam location I learned more from the second instructor. But I also noticed a pattern every student that wrote their driving test seemed to have failed based on my experience sitting in the office waiting for my lesson. I told myself if I were to fail, I will go to gold star driving school (saw website 94% pass rate). The day finally came I wrote my test, ironically I failed even though I did everything that was taught. (My test was suppose to be at 8 am - the day before at the end of my lesson found out my lesson has been changed to 11 am- very unprofessional.) The end of the driving test I went back to the valley office in Coquitlam. I told the front desk lady "I failed", she said "lets get you signed up for another road test" I responded with "I will hold off for now". I met with Dan (Owner of Gold Star Driving) a couple of days later. I told him my story, I knew I was missing something in my driving. I got setup with lessons from Greg. First day I meet Greg, he said " We will work on your shifting" I said "I already know how to shift, I need help with right turns." He said "turning is easy, shifting is main problem" That day I learned so much more about shifting, I knew this is the place to learn. I also took lessons with Dan (excellent teacher - he instills confidence and I learn so much from him as well) I took about 10 lessons in total, every lesson I learned more and improved. Greg said to me 3 days ago, "You are ready for your road test, speak with Dan and setup the road test" I did my last 2 lessons with Dan - he watched my driving. He said "You are ready" I wrote my test today and passed my road test. Dan also got me a job lined up immediately after passing my road test. Long story short, I would give Gold Star Driving 6 stars out of 5 if I could. Dan is a very trust worthy person. He only wants for his students to succeed. Save your money don't go to these highly marketed driving schools and pay huge amounts of dollars for sub-par training. I hope this review will help save you money and time. Good luck on your class 1 journey!

Fantastic experience: My experience with gold star professional driving school was phenomenal. Ana was my instructor and she is literally the BEST instructor ever! She gave me the confidence I needed and made sure that she taught me everything I had to know for my road test. I went into my road test knowing what they would look for. I highly recommend gold star professional if you are looking for an instructor. Ana was very patient and is very nice. I went in with zero knowledge and with only 5 lessons, I was able to pass my road test in one try!! Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself! You will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: I completed 5 lessons with Ana and Dan this last month leading up to my driving test. They were a pleasure to deal with, very knowledgeable when it came my questions and very accommodating with scheduling. Would definitely recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Great experience after one lesson and a warm up I passed my test. Dan and Ana are fantastic I get very nervous for any type of testing but Dan and Ana gave me the skills I needed to drive well and get over my test anxiety. I strongly recommend them. If possible try to drive with both of them.

Fantastic experience: Passed my road test from the first time! I had both, Ana and Dan, giving me lessons. I took only 5 lessons and started from 0 with them. Thanks a lot guys! :)

Fantastic experience: I had my lesson with Ana. She was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed, and she gave me great feedback!

Fantastic experience: Ana at Gold Star Driving School is a very good instructor who can guide a learner towards obtaining the licence successfully! I got through my road test in the first attempt and I highly recommend Ana as a professional instructor! Thank you Ana!

Fantastic experience: I wish i could give a * but unfortunately it's only 5*. Thank Gold Star professional driving school for helping me pass my CDL test. Greg is awesome, he knows his job and he's serious when instructing you to drive as if he's teaching his own child. He patiently explain everything. And to you Dusco thank you so much. You guys are one of a kind. I will surely recommend Gold Star professional driving school to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Gold Star Pro driving school. Dushko was so understanding, helpful and flexible with the training schedule and Greg was an amazing trainer with so much patience and experience. His wise and supportive words before my class 1 road test caused my pass on the first try. I owe it to this great team. Thank you

Fantastic experience: My instructor, Anna, is very patient and helpful. She teaches all I need to know for the test and every day driving. Everything is better than I expected. I never write reviews but I had to do this one. Gold Star Driving School is all I needed :)

Fantastic experience: YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

Fantastic experience: I would like to open by saying I chose gold star based on these reviews and their affordable pricing. I had a goal to get my class 1 license before summer had ended. I got all the support and training I needed from Greg and Dan. They made it easy to get lessons in around my busy school and work schedule. Rest assured, if you take driving training from Greg and Dan you will have an informative and supportive learning environment. I don't usually do many reviews online, but I can safely say I stand behind this one. I'm glad I took my class 1 training through Gold Star. If any one asked me where they should get driving lessons from, I would advise them everytime to give Gold Star a call. -Brendan

Fantastic experience: I had lessons with both Dan + Anna within a relatively short period of time before my road test which I passed. About me: I am a mature student who doesnt own a car and relied wholly on 10-15 hrs of driving lessons within the last two years. Overall in life I had probably another 30 hours driving ever. I was at a stage in my career where I needed to drive and I decided to book 2-3 lessons a week for 4 weeks prior to my road test. I found gold star driving very supportive of me achieving these goals and really felt a big difference between my first few lessons against my last few polishing lessons. Dan is a relaxed instructor who most helped me with my fears of changing lanes in heavier traffic. Anna was very detail oriented and helped me perfect my back-ins and parallel parks. Overall they gave me the confidence and tips I needed to reach my goal! (And were really nice to get to know also). Highly recommend this team! Also very accommodating to my busy schedule.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience! Easy booking and friendly service!

Fantastic experience: tl;dr: Exceptional driving school. Highly recommended! I joined Gold Star Professional school with no previous driving experience. Seven classes in and I already feel comfortable driving around. Ana is an excellent instructor. Highly qualified, friendly and with patience that will last longer than this universe. She will instill in you confidence and will have you parallel parking like a pro! If you, like me, have been holding back on joining a driving school to avoid additional stress, don’t. This is the school you are looking for; go for it and have fun!

Fantastic experience: Gregg helped me from start to finish in 3 weekends, at first I was a little iffy about double clutching, but he taught me his knowledge on how to shift properly. Very calm, cool, and collected guy, very pleased with their service. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to upgrade the license to a higher class.

Fantastic experience: Instructors are amazing especially Gregg who, thanks to his skills and knowledge helped me pass my Class 1 road test. Great practice trucks and great school. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Thanks Dan, and Greg, my instructor, for passing with confidence class 1 truck and trailer exam today. I was trained both for the pre-trip and the road test to pass it. Good job !

Fantastic experience: My instructor dan was great! made me feel confident and i passed in my first try! definitely recommend him and also the driving school. the whole service and experience with them was so easy and hassle free. all the best gold star! great job!

Fantastic experience: I recently booked 5 hours of driving, and an hour lesson before my road test. Dave was a great instructor, and made me feel confident in driving after not much practice prior to my lessons. The lessons are affordable and the car used to practice with is a great car to learn to drive on. Dave instilled the confidence and skills needed to pass my road test on my first try. I would HIGHLY recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Dan is a good teacher, very patient, empowering and systematic

Fantastic experience: I had a positive experience with Gold Star. Dan is a great instructor and cares about his students. I highly recommend this school.

Fantastic experience: Have a very good experience with gold class driving school. Very helpful resources provided and pass my ICBC test one go. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Dan is a very good teacher. A professional driver with tons of experience with driving. He is caring and empowers the student to drive on their own independent of instruction while still maintaining a safe learning environment. I'd highly recommend Dan to drivers of all skill and experience levels!

Fantastic experience: really good company, reliable and responsible. happy with them and strongly recommend to you

Fantastic experience: Took my class 5 and passed at first attempt. Dusko is a star, he's a great teacher and he will prepare you well for your road test.

Fantastic experience: I would give Goldstar a 5 Star rating. Experienced and knowledgeable instructors, patience to teach new Class 1 drivers, genuine willingness to help in finding a driver position. Classy people running a classy school! for me, choosing Goldstar was a great decision. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience with Gold Star. I took 10 hours of lessons in preparation for my Class 5 road test and passed on my first attempt. They were very patient, calm and reassuring which helped since I had never driven in Canada before. We sometimes practiced on busy roads around downtown to help me gain confidence in dealing with heavier traffic and new routes, instead of just focusing on road test routes. To me, that shows that they were sincere about training you to be a truly good driver instead of just getting you to pass!

Fantastic experience: I came to gold star driving with no driving experience at all. Dan was patient and very helpful. After 5-6 lessons with dans help, I was more confident driving safely. I took my class 7N road test and passed the first time. thanks

Fantastic experience: I came to Gold Star with no truck driving experience, and only very basic knowledge of how to drive a manual transmission on a normal vehicle. I had lessons(around 36 hours) with both Dan and Greg, and passed my class 1 road test(& inspection) on my first try. They provided a safe environment for me to make all the mistakes that I needed to make, and never lost their cool. I highly recommend their services.

Fantastic experience: With 0 experience behind the wheel I took 4 hours of lessons with Dusko and passed my Class 7 road test on the first run. Great teacher, he was patient and very thorough with everything I had to know. Awesome experience. I would definitely recommend Gold Star to my friends.

Fantastic experience: I passed the road test class 1 licence 2nd May 2016. I got a new gob driving truck that i wanted 3rd May 2016. Dusko ! You are the most excellent teacher and adviser for my life. Tonight our family will be most happy because of you. Thanks !!!!! .......... Today morning 16th May 2016, I finished my first trip from Vancouve to LA to Tronto To Calgery and came back home for 9 days. Amazing ! How can i say my feeling....thanks my teacher !!!!!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Dan for turning me into a confident driver. Dan genuinely cared for me and my safety throughout my lessons with him and I cannot thank him enough for his knowledge while on the road.

Fantastic experience: I started training at another driving school but wasn't happy with their service and decided to transfer to Gold Star Professional Driving School. What a great decision! Instructor Dusko helped me gain confidence and was always clear, concise and patient with explaining things and answering my questions. I passed the road test on the first try. Thank you Gold Star!

Fantastic experience: I had only a positive experience with Gold Star! Dusko helped me to believe in myself, thanks to him, I became a confident driver. I started almost as a newbie (I had a foreign driving licence, but I haven't driven for a long time), after lessons with Dusko and Duda I successfully passed class 5 road test! I'm glad I found this school and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to drive!

Fantastic experience: I am currently taking class 1 lessons with them. Instructors are very nice and,professional. They come all the way to help you understand how to drive and every patient with me.

Fantastic experience: this school was excellent. Goldstar took care of everything for me from a driving lesson package and flexable hours that suited me, to booking me in with an airbrake course and booking my roadtest with icbc. Greg was very good and patient with me and taught me everything i needed to know from pre-trip to downshifting to right turns. i ended my lessons with Dusko who was very friendly and very knowledgable about driving the big rigs and the road. these guys are truly what you call professionals. i enjoyed going to each one of my lessons. i would recommend this school anybody who is interested in getting there class one.

Fantastic experience: I've just got some classes in the week of my road test to class 5. But they were very important to feel safe about the rules and to do all my questions about intersections, school zones etc. So happy that I did it. Thank you, Dusko, for the classes, knowledge and calm! I got it! :)

Fantastic experience: Gold Star Professional driving school is a very good school. Owner Dan and instructor Greg were very professional, friendly, approachable and accommodating. The schedule was organized around my availability. Since I already had some driving experience, instructor Greg tailored the class 1 instruction program towards polishing the skills I already had and helped me to overcome the mistakes I was making to better prepare me for the class 1 road test. What I liked is Greg did not try to break my learned shifting style and make me relearn to drive the truck his way from the beginning. We focused on fine tuning, shifting on hills, emergency actions if you got stuck in neutral and trying to find gears, turns. So, I passed the class 1 road test with no problem. They don't try to sell you hours. You decide how many hours you need based on the progress you make. They will honestly tell you when you are ready and what are your chances to pass the road test. They know what ICBC examiners are looking for when it comes to evaluation of your driving and teach you the proper way to drive, they want you to succeed.

Fantastic experience: Dusko and Greg are both great instructors. Both of them are extremely patient and are a wealth of information. They managed to work around my busy schedule and taught me all that I needed to know. I started as a total newbie, with no experience driving a manual transmission of any kind, or even in a vehicle larger than a sedan. After training with Dusko and Greg I'm just as comfortable in a tractor and 48' trailer with a 13 speed manual as I am in my own car. I passed my road test on the first try.

Fantastic experience: I switched driving schools because I wasn't satisfied with the previous company I was with. A friend told me about Gold Star and highly recommended them so I took a one hour lesson just to get a feel for the instructor and service. That one hour was more than enough to convince me I had come to the right place and I ended up getting the biggest package they offer. Dusko was so patient and you could tell the man has a lot of experience. He taught me everything and worked later than usual to accommodate my work schedule. I am very impressed with this company and will recommend them to everyone i know. I passed my road test on my first attempt which I didn't think would happen but Dusko reassured me I would be fine. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great teachers at Gold Star, super flexible and relaxed honest guys, they care and want you to succeed. Don't waste $5000+ and go to a super expensive training school, I'd recommend you to go to Gold Star. I passed my Class 1 road test first try.

Fantastic experience: I had a very pleasant experience with Gold Star Professional Driving School and I can definitely say that I was not disappointed! This is a professional, dedicated, and affordable school that will get you into the driver's seat very fast! I passed my Class 1 driving test the first time-while my husband, who attended another driving school, only got his license on his second try. My instructor was Dusko. He went out of his way to schedule my driving practice based on my availability and that took a lot of pressure off of learning to drive a commercial vehicle. This was a great place to learn how to drive Class 1 vehicles and I would recommended it to anyone with a desire to become a professional driver!

Positive experience: Very good experience, couldn't have done it without the lessons, Dusko is a very good instructor who knows what he is doing, patient and helpful. I also passed my class 3 first try. I would highly recommend Gold Star. Thank you Dan...

Fantastic experience: Gold Star driving school was excellent. They were extremely flexible with arranging driving practice times with me and helped me gain a lot of confidence quickly, having no prior experience driving large vehicles. I was trained with a great deal of patience by Dusko and passed my driving test on my first attempt for my Class 3 license. I also found the pricing to be quite good compared to other schools, and did not feel pressured to pay for any more lessons than was necessary to achieve my goals. Another great thing about this school is that the instructors have connections to outfits that are looking to hire new drivers and they are more than willing to help you find a job. Overall I would highly recommend this school if you're interested in becoming a professional driver.

Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Letter I wanted to share my learning experience at Gold Star, with the rest of the driving community. The staff took an exemplary approach tailored to my individual driving habits, and concentrated on specific improvement areas that helped me ascertain the knowledge and experience I needed to be successful in acquiring a class 1 driving license, the most sought of accomplishment in the industry. It is with great honour and appreciation that I write about my experience, to share my story, one that may motivate others to take on the challenge, so you too can be boastful in your passion for growth. It wasn’t a long ago that I held my class 5 drivers’ license, believing that anything else was out of reach or involved continuous hours of training, only to find myself dedicating time and funding that I did not have. The idea of graduating from the program did not seem very feasible, or angelic, and that’s the perception I gathered from many in the industry. This all held true until I had no other options, I procrastinated this moment until it consumed me; I’ve finally reached the summit of inevitability, and a point of no return. With great despair, I felt I wasn’t ready financially, and I took a leap of faith in the name of tenacity. I could not have been steered in a better direction; this is when I first met with Dusko Bilbija, the owner of Gold Star, and the driving instructor Bill. I felt so much convenience once Dusko proposed a free driving class that allowed to recognize if this is the exactly that I want to do onwards. I needed to take action, and I was approached by a friend with a job offer that required a class 1 driver’s license, it was crucial that I got my license within 30 days. Even though, I have had a truck driver experience, I still thought over improvement my driving skills. It was only 2 weeks, and for about a third of the going rate, with a driving test to follow, I was exuberant by my graduation, and now holding my class 1! My gratitude to Bill, who has passion and loyalty to the driver profession and who generously shares his experience. This was a moment for me which I hold sacrosanct, and an important milestone in my career! If you want to kick your career into high gear, and celebrate your milestones, making for a perpetuating experience, I would like my story to elicit an unwavering desire to self betterment, invest in your future, build equity in your career and take that next step bolstered by the care team at Gold Star. Let them take you on a 2 week journey, to forever open those closed doors to self-realisation. Thank you Gold Star, I wish you a prosperous future, filled with many more client stories like my own. Sincerely, Edgar
