Okanagan Valley Driving School

Fantastic experience: I had no experience at the start of my Class 3 course. However within the week harry was able to train me up and have me more then prepared for both the pre trip and road test. If you have no experience at all I would recommend taking the extended course as the extra time behind the wheel would pay off. But the instruction was clear and corrected things along the way as needed.

Fantastic experience: Harry you are good man to brake me of my bad habits and with the upmost patience thank you . And of coarse teaching an old dog new tricks , I appreciate you . Merry Christmas to you and your family

Fantastic experience: Harm is awesome instructor with lots of patience with brand new drivers I would hardly recommend

Negative experience: One of their instructors is unprofessional. He blocked a construction zone and made his student perform a “pre-trip inspection” in said construction zone, when he was told that he needed to leave immediately, he did not, and said he needed to preform this inspection and that he was not leaving. I would never let anyone I know go to this driving school if this is how their instructors act.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the Class 1 MELT program with Harry. It was an amazing and rewarding experience. Harry was a great instructor, very experienced both in the industry and as an instructor. He explains everything very well and has patience while your learning and adapting your skills. I couldnt imagine a better experience, I highly recommend Okanagan Valley. Thank you for everything!

Fantastic experience: When it come time for crunch time Harry aced it, he squeezed me in so I could complete my hours and test in a timely manner. Harry made sure I worked on my areas of attention and in the end passed with flying colours.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t speak higher about an instructor than the experience I had learning from Hari at OK Valley Driving School. Getting behind the wheel of a semi truck will seem like a daunting task but having a great instructor like him will make you confident in getting your class 1.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my Class 1 course, and it was an amazing experience. Though the training was tough, it paid of immensely by qualifying me for a life in trucking. I highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the class 3 driver training course with Harry. The training was very professional and informative. I passed my road test and pre-trip inspection with flying colours. I have nothing but great things to say about my driving instructor Harry, he was very patient with me and explained everything very well. Would absolutely recommend Okanagan Valley Driving school to everyone looking to get a Class 1 or 3 drivers license.

Fantastic experience: Okanagan Valley driving school is highly recommended. Harry is very knowledgeable and very patient. He gives you all the tools and information needed to pass your test

Fantastic experience: I took the code 20, code 7 driving course from OVDS in preparation for testing with ICBC April 2024. I passed the ICBC testing on the first try with no problem. "Harry" my instructor, was excellent, very knowledgeable and professional. He was very flexible and easy going. This made the practice tests for the pre trip inspections and the practical road testing less stressful. We worked on day one doing the practical exercises, transitioning the next day to the actual test with ICBC, less stressfull as I was well prepared for the test. The training he provided, in preparation for actual testing, was well worth the money spent for the course. I highly recommend him as an instructor, if you can get him..... (Not putting down any of the other instructors with OVDS. I know from the schools reputation, they all provide excellent training. I consider myself fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work with Harry) Keep up the great work! Drive safe! Save money on costly mistakes, learn to drive professionally with OVDS. Thanks Harry. You Rock......

Fantastic experience: I did my heavy trailer endorsement training with Harry and was extremely pleased with the training l received. With Harry’s training it got me ready for the road test and I aced it. I would highly recommend Okanagan Driving School to anyone looking for truck driving training, Harry’s an awesome instructor and very professional when it comes to driving training. I give Okanagan Driving School and Harry a 5 out of 5 stars, thanks again Harry!

Fantastic experience: Baljit was awesome. Explained things well, great pricing and an awesome learning experience for my son. I would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again!!!

Negative experience: Never received any service. Called there about my heavy trailer endorsement. I was told to give them a call again after my knowledge test is done and I have booked my ICBC road test. So I did it and the guy told me that we can do 6 hours practice in one go on the weekend just before my actual road test. And he also said that he will call me about place where we gonna meet. He never called back, picked my call or responded my voice messages. Unfortunately I can't give more stars. I would go with zero if I could.

Fantastic experience: I did my class 3 program with Okanagan Valley Driving School. I'm so glad that I picked them to do this program. Harry was amazing and was so helpful.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, professional experience all-round. Harry’s experience and skill as both a driver and an instructor is beyond reproach. I’ve had a lot of professional instruction over my various careers and my experience at OKVDS is among the best. Harry is the Man(n) for sure.

Fantastic experience: I just completed the house trailer endorsement. Harry was very professional, knowledgeable and a good solid guy. He prepared me well for my road test which I passed easily. He reached out after my test to see how I did. Great experience. Thanks again Harry.

Fantastic experience: I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto Harry's driving school (Okanagan Valley) while I pursue a Class 1 license. Harry is the real deal; not only a very experienced & professional long-haul trucker but also an effective teacher. You won't just learn what you need to pass the ICBC test, Harry also covers real-world trucking scenarios and how to deal with them, which will leave you more confident heading out on the job. If you have a strong desire to learn and are in a teachable mindset, Harry will totally transform your driving during the MELT program. Not only is his program packed full of valuable learning, he is also a great guy and fun to chat with while you're shifting gears. You will leave his course with a totally transformed ability to drive a large commercial truck. I've had a 10/10 experience with Harry @ Okanagan Valley Driving School in the MELT program, and totally recommend his courses to anyone who is serious about leveling up their driving. *Update: Passed the Class 1 driving exam 1st time thanks to Harry's excellent instruction. Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here! Easy going instructor with a sense of humour. I passed my commercial license no problem! Affordable and stress free.

Negative experience: NEVER USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE CROOKS & LIARS This individual Harry his name is actually HARMINDER Mann and he will do and say anything to get your money. If, you want a PROFESSIONAL school go to Taylor Pro Training. Where I got my class 1. Taylor is so known in the valley that your résumé will be the first looked at to be hired. This company is run out of a house and does not provide suitable training to be the best driver you can be. His course are no where near as informational as Taylor pro located in the reids corner area Kelowna. Be smart, pay attention to the prices. The less you pay the worse the lessons. Harminder Mann is not a suitable teacher for teaching other how to be safe and professional on out road ways. He will also lie to you to you just to get you to signup.
