NORSED Driving School

Fantastic experience: I was quickly scheduled sessions and completed my Class 3 within weeks of contacting NORSED. All 3 instructors I had were knowledgeable, timely, and friendly. I quickly felt comfortable behind the wheel. I can't thank their team enough for all they did for me!

Fantastic experience: Norse’s is run by an incredible couple who made this experience great for me! They are tentative easy to understand and will not let you slip through there course. Great experience. I accomplished my goals in large part thanks to my NORSED experience.

Fantastic experience: Awesome people

Fantastic experience: Thank you to the Norsed team ! I took my airbrake course with them and they were very informative and knowledgeable. I passed no problem after their course Thanks to Ron Des And Steve !

Fantastic experience: Just passed my air brakes knowledge test thanks to these awesome guys and gals. Big shout out to teacher Stephen Cambell very good teacher, makes it easy to sit through the course and take it in, also the people who do the pre trip training on the second day are great. They provide a nice organized and comfortable classroom and even give snacks coffee and teas for you to enjoy. They give you a pen and notebook as well as learning materials for your convenience and studying, so almost no need to bring anything like that. Very well thought out and run.

Negative experience: The one star goes to the lady I enrolled with. She was friendly. If for any reason you are unable to commit to the dates you scheduled to take a course, and are unable to give them notice within their 5 day requirement, they will keep the entire amount paid for the course. I scheduled 2 days before the course began which made it impossible to give 5 days notice. Things unavoidable happen in people's lives and they do not care.

Fantastic experience: Air Brake Coarse Fantastic fun people. Top notch professional operation. Above and beyond coaching and help during the class and after if needed.

Fantastic experience: I recently went through the air brake they course as a part of some training/acquiring it for my job, the course is extremely informative, very well put together, with a great mix of fun and learning, they know how to keep the class engaged. As well as making sure everyone gets the assistance they need to get through whichever course they are taking. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! The NORSED team is amazing at what they do, very kind and informative. I will see you all again for my Class 3 course! Upd: I came back here for my class 3 and once again they have done it again! Another great learning experience, did the class 3 manual. They teach you how to drive the trucks, not how to pass a road test. The pre trip and driving lessons are very in depth and you will feel comfortable going into a road test, no questions about it! Thank you again NORSED!

Fantastic experience: Excellent school! I am super happy I picked Norsed for my training. I completed my class 2&3 courses. My instructor was very professional and gave me all the attention needed to prepare me for my road tests. I confidently passed my road tests and am now ready to start a new career I highly recommend this school!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Norsed for anyone looking to get a commercial drivers license. Ron, John and des helped me get my class one with 0 demerits. If your looking for a driving school to go to this is the one

Fantastic experience: Very nice and good company

Fantastic experience: The crew at Norsed kills it, Des is fast and great to communicate with. Ron and John are the best, laid back and knowledgeable. Best learning environment. John is an awesome instructor, and wants you to succeed. Would recommend,thanks again guys. -David saylor

Fantastic experience: Straight up, NORSED is awesome at what they do. Des and Ron and John bring an amazing amount of knowledge and experience to the trade that they are willing to impart to you in a patient, caring and professional manner. They WANT you to pass! All you have to do is bring the determination and drive. NORSED should be your first and only choice. I'm a bus driver now!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic school, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The reason I’m giving NORSED 5 stars is because this review app won’t allow me to give more stars, an amazing driving school and very positive and memorable experience. I did my class 3 with Ron and John who went above and beyond to help me in achieving zero demerits on my pre trip and driving test. Cool, calm and very approachable instructors, Des in the office is fantastic, just as knowledgeable and friendly as the instructors. I would highly recommend NORSED to any and everyone and if I ever decide to upgrade again I will be using these guys. 2 thumbs up and again it’s because I only have 2 thumbs to give. Thanks Des, Ron and John

Fantastic experience: Got my class 2 first attempt.Air bake course was a good time filled with laughs and knowledge.Ron is an incredibly thorough teacher.the whole team at Norsed wants you to succeed as much as you want to.I would not hesitate to use or reccomend them again.

Fantastic experience: My husband Gord finished taking his Class 1 a month ago. Norsed taught him everything that he needed to know to be a good, safe driver. They helped him to pass his road test with flying colours. Ron, Des, and John were amazing to be around and very knowledgable. When he was nervous and anxious they were calm, supportive, and encouraging. Gord started working immediately after finishing his course. He feels prepared and comfortable to work in any Class 1 position. We would highly recommend Norsed Driving School to anyone who is looking to take a course. Thanks Ron, Des and John for everything.

Fantastic experience: A shout out to the admin and instructors for their patience and professionalism, from someone with a new air brake endorsement. Everything was covered and nothing was rushed. I'll be back for my next upgrade.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn and great instructors. I had an issue with my license and icbc and the Norsed instructors went above and beyond to help me through it. Thank you Norsed!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my class 2 course. Amazing course. Instructor's very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Just an incredible school. Straight up, informative, and easy to talk to. They want you to succeed. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Had an excellent opportunity to upgrade my Class 3 Manual license through this company. They offered flexible driving lessons and gave great instruction throughout. An awesome team to work around and with. Couldn't recommend a better school to do your driver training on Vancouver Island.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic! The staff at NORSED are passionate about learning and understanding to the differenT learning styles, of all who attend their classes. Steve (air brakes instructor) is the life of the classroom, keeping things fun and engaging each one of us throughout the course. He helped me with my personal challenges around learning and I was successful in my course. Thank you NORSED, and thank you Steve!

Fantastic experience: I Got my class 3 a week ago through Norsed driving school as well as my air brakes endorsement a couple years back. both Ron and Des are some of the most kind and professional people I have met in this industry. I would highly recommend this driving school for any commercial license. Nothing but great things I have experienced and heard through other people about their school!!!

Fantastic experience: From the get go, Des and Ron went above and beyond to accommodate my Class 3 training and ICBC test on very short notice and on a tight completion schedule. I would highly recommend this company. I drove up from Victoria for my 6 classes, my final test day and with the confidence Ron instilled in me I easily passed my tests today. Don’t look any further, book your test with this amazing company now, you won’t regret it. Thank you Norsed

Fantastic experience: Wow...that is all I can say about Ron and Des and the Norsed driving school. From day one you are greeted with a smile from Des at registration which was all painless. I had the privilege of Ron as my instructor and he is an excellent teacher. I was doing my class two and he made doubly sure I was prepared for my road test in which i indeed did pass. Ron is a guy who enjoys life and a few laughs which make the education process a lot easier and a lot more fun! I highly recommend Norsed for your driver training 100%!!

Fantastic experience: I came to this driving school to get my airbreaks license and they were incredibly helpful at every turn, the system they have in place for teaching is incredibly robust and the whole team is very friendly. I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone else for any kind of certification!

Fantastic experience: Got my automatic class 3 from Norsed after seeing so many positive reviews. Des and Ron have a fantastic school. Whichever license you are looking for you will be more than prepared for your test. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Detailed orientated and super friendly! Thank you,

Fantastic experience: I took my air brakes course and commercial driver training on a 18speed through this school, I passed my road test first try with 0 demerits. John and Rob were the best instructors I’ve ever had for anything, they are very friendly and calm especially when I’ve never driven a manual semi before. I constantly recommend Norsed to anybody that’s looking to get a standard drivers license all the way up to a commercial or taxi. Thank you again.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about this school. All the instructors are fantastic. Des was extremely helpful is advising us of funding. They definitely set you up for success.

Fantastic experience: I used Norsed to attain my Class 3. I must say that the Owners Ron and Des are both absolutely fantastic people, they were flexible and accommodating, they have a wealth of knowledge stemming from decades of being in the driving business and are clearly passionate about sharing their experience with new drivers in all classes. Des and Ron are both very kind and patient and it is clear they care deeply about all their students. My lasting experience with some of their other instructors (Jon and Justin) were very positive as well. I would strongly recommend anyone to this driving school and if I choose to someday upgrade my own license, I would absolutely use Norsed again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Fantastic experience: Did my Airbrakes with NORSED and they did a great job of keeping the material interesting and the classes fun. Such an awesome team that really cares about your learning, will definitely be coming back if I ever need more training

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend taking a course through Norsed! They are with you every step of the way, super encouraging and helpful! I passed my class 3 road test and air brakes with the amazing help of this team, and I'm starting to move my career forward. They really want you to succeed, not just in the test but in everything you jump into. Super professional and friendly, I will always refer to them for driving education!

Fantastic experience: Ron, Des and Steve provided excellent training for my Air Brakes Endorsement. I came into the class on Friday night knowing zero about how air brakes work. At the end of the next day I passed the assessment and feel like I have the knowledge needed to move forward in the real world, with a focus on safety. The main instructor Steve's teaching style was great and very polished. Despite having a very methodical approach to the subject matter, he was always happy to take time out to answer questions. He would also defer to Ron when it came to really technical questions some people had that only a mechanic could answer. They have a fully functional air brake system on the wall using real components, laid out to where they go on a truck. This is extremely helpful for understanding how it all works. Highly recommend this school for the Air Brakes Endorsement, and from everything I saw, the rest of their courses would be of similar quality.

Fantastic experience: I would like to rave the biggest rave about Norsed Driving School Ltd. and especially Ron and Des! I just got my Class 4 Unrestricted license and although I was a bit nervous on my road test, I was very confident that I would pass due to Ron’s excellent training and all of Des’s little tips and tricks! And she’s the BEST cheerleader ❤️. I couldn’t have done it without you both. I can’t thank you both enough for everything

Fantastic experience: Great people. Appreciate all the help I received working with my schedule. They did a great job getting me ready for my class 1.

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous going into my lessons for a commercial license, having never driven with air brakes and not being very mechanically minded. Ron and John are so patient and let me take the time to learn the best way that worked for me. I felt so comfortable with both of them, and their critiques were said with such kindness. Des is also amazing, she put together a little package of material for me to look over before my lessons. Having an idea of what I was going to learn, helped to ease my mind. I passed my road test with zero demerits, and I couldn't have done it with out them! You can feel the passion from all of them to see people succeed. I highly recommend this company!!!

Fantastic experience: Did my Class 1 Training with NORSED. Absolutely spectacular people and fantastic organization. Highly, highly recommend. Ron, Des, and instructors John and Rob are all amazing people with a passion for teaching safe driving. Thanks again guys!

Fantastic experience: Are you looking looking for a fantastic company for new driver training, license upgrades or just a refresh and get rid of some of our bad habits ??? LOOK NO FURTHER!! Dez and Ron at NORSED DRIVING SCHOOL were very professional and made my experience super comfortable. Relaxing my anxiety and making sure I was as prepared as possible for my exam, which I passed most definitely with their help. Stop looking and wondering who to go to…. NORSED IS THE PLACE! Thanks for the great experience Ron & Dez

Fantastic experience: The best!!!! They really go above and beyond, and if you really want to learn Ron will take extra time to show you everything you could want to know!! Even after you get ur license, you can call him and he will explain to you any questions or advice your looking for. 4 lessons and passed with 0 demerits

Fantastic experience: I honestly cannot thank Des and Ron enough for their help getting me my unrestricted Class 4 license! I was on a super tight deadline and Des worked tirelessly to fit me into their busy schedule and book my a road test with ICBC at the last minute! Ron was an incredible teacher and made the most of the lessons, he was very supportive and if I’d had the time I would’ve take even more lessons because he was so knowledgeable and truly loved his job. I don’t usually do Google reviews but I was seriously blown away but Des & Rons kindness and how hard they worked to accommodated me ! I didn’t know companies like this could still exist, where the owners actually care about their customers/students! On top of it all I passed my pre-trip inspection and road test and now have an unrestricted class 4 license! Seriously these guys are the best and I highly recommend that anyone who needs a road test or driving lessons come to NORSED for their training :)

Fantastic experience: Ron, Des, Rob & John were great. I'd say with all the changes going on they went above and beyond to host a Melt Class 1 program. These guys are the real deal and will train you to be a good driver. They take the time and care!

Fantastic experience: At 41, it was time for me to become a driver. As reluctant as I was about it, I knew that with living in the country, I had to be able to drive. My partner signed me up for some driving lessons with Norsed, and upon first going into the office and meeting Des, I immediately felt relief. She's so friendly, and knowledgeable. I got my first lessons booked right away, and they were able to easily work with my schedule. My first lessons with Ron were fantastic. He is a very patient man!! Always positive and helped me work through my fears and anxiety about driving, while making sure I was understanding the rules of the road. I passed my road test with flying colours and have a new sense of freedom. These lessons were absolutely the catalyst for me being able to pass my test and be a confident driver. Absolutely life changing, I 100% recommend them!! Also, the road test car was fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Great team of people running an honest, professional service. Great instruction methods with clear communication and the ability to translate technical terms to everyday English. Highly recommend, whether you're needing an air brake endorsement or the full commercial driving license. This crew knows what they are doing and are excellent at what they do.

Fantastic experience: Just passed my Air brakes course with Ron, Dez and Steve. What a great experience. From knowing nothing about air brakes to successfully completing my knowledge test with ICBC with a 100% score. I'm proud to say I believe that I have picked a winning team. The course wasn't easy but with the right instructors and some hard work, anything is possible. Thanks again guys. Now to get that Class 3.

Negative experience: Not properly trained for 5/7 licenses.

Fantastic experience: The team at Norsed were amazing! They make you feel like you are a friend and they care about your success. From our first interactions, they communicated everything really well to me and were very responsive. They were accommodating of my schedule as well. My instructor, John, went above and beyond to figure out the best method to teach me based on my individual learning style. John had taken me on so many diverse routes and coached me through a lot of difficult scenarios that built up my confidence. Their trucks and trailers are comfortable and high quality; I highly recommend Norsed!

Fantastic experience: best school got my class 1 very experienced instructors must go for this school

Fantastic experience: Excellent learning experience. Ron Des and Steve made it fun and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Ron, Des, Rob and John are all great people who know trucking and I was blessed and honoured to meet them and to be taught by them. They also were awesome to point me to a trucking company to hire me after I completed the course and got my Class 1 Thank you very much guys. God bless you!

Fantastic experience: A great couple (and Steve) who are really invested in the success of their students. Experienced and knowledgeable. Took my airbrakes here. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Ron, Steve and Des!

Fantastic experience: I recently had two staff members attend a Norsed airbrakes endorsement course. Des and Ron are a pleasure to deal with in organization and our staff reported they were very happy with the level of instruction they received. Will and Glenn feel confident with their newly gained knowledge. Thank you Norsed for your professional service.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Ron is an excellent teacher. I feel much more prepared for my test.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to Ron, Des & Steve for making our air brakes course fun and educational. They have structured the course to set the student up for success. The knowledge and skills components were easily passed due to their instruction. You can tell that they are passionate about driving and teaching. Thanks so much. I will definitely be back and will be recommending NORSED to everyone :)

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Ron, Des and Steve. We just completed the air brakes course and they made it easy to learn yet not dry at all. Wonderful, thoughtful instruction for different learning styles. The weekend flew by and we were successful in the practical part of our ticket. We will absolutely be back to NORSED for any and all of our driving instruction needs. Would highly recommend these knowledgeable yet down to earth driving instructors!!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Ron and Des - I'd had my Class 7 (N) license for many years and needed a quick refresher to feel confident in taking my Class 5. I was quickly able to book 2 sessions, and Ron was very patient in going over the basics. I knew what to expect for the exam, and it was a big help in passing my Class 5. I would highly recommend the Norsed team!

Fantastic experience: I am currently taking my class 1 driver's training with Des and Ron. What an amazing team the two of them are! I am so delighted that I decided to get my training through them. Ron is a fantastic instructor, incredibly patinate and hones in on how you as as individual learn and works with that. Both Des and Ron are super encouraging, supportive and passionate about seeing you become a good driver. I highly recommend them for any type driver training.

Fantastic experience: A Huge thank you to Ron and Des for going above and beyond to help my brother pass his test. They will make sure that they help you in every possible way. The circumstances in which I had to call and book them were very time sensitive and they made sure to be my God sent angels. Thank you with all our heart. Wish you great luck ahead.

Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to Des, Ron, and my main man Steve. I just took my Air brakes course, and I had a great time learning from this team. Des and Ron are a happily married couple and run the family business together, and that's a beautiful thing, we need to see more of and support. Steve is there right hand man and all 3 worked together to build the course and it's there passion to put high end quality drivers on the roads. Thanks again:) Love you guys.

Fantastic experience: This team of Ron and Des Stocking and Steve Cambell are absolutely second to none in my opinion. I’m very difficult to teach but these three made it possible for me to ace the course!! Their attention to detail and tireless effort to teach the right way one time gave me the confidence to get it done right. I had never met this group at all before taking the course but I’m sure glad that I called them now!!
