Okotoks Driving school

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Peter from Southtrail & Okotoks Driving School! He was patient and knowledgeable, making sure we covered everything before my test. I couldn’t have passed without his help! Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter recently completed the course with Audra! Nothing but great things to say. Nelson was very helpful with signing up and fixing my mistakes, the online portion was great - my daughter could complete at her own pace and once she got in vehicle, Audra was nothing but patient and kind! Would definitely recommend!

Positive experience: They are great to work with. Peter is a great instructor and makes the drivers comfortable. I took one star off because the registration and booking systems are cumbersome. I did choose them twice though to teach both my kids.

Fantastic experience: I like how they teach you all the right things you need to know and how to do them properly

Fantastic experience: Lessons with Peter has made me very confident in my driving. I improved greatly over the lessons and feel like I have all the skills I need to drive safely for the rest of my life.

Fantastic experience: Peter was a really good instructor. He was very calm and easy going but helped a lot with making sure I knew where to improve.

Fantastic experience: Okotoks Driving School was the right fit for our daughter. Peter was a patient and kind instructor. He will be seeing our son next year for certain! Highly recommend this company.

Fantastic experience: Great experience, Nelson is a great teacher and I learned a lot.

Fantastic experience: Peter was an amazing driver with plenty of hilarious stories and a great personality that kept me calm whilst he taught me how to drive, I 100% recommend choosing Peter if you’re gonna be driving with this school.

Fantastic experience: I can't thank this driving school enough! Learning to drive at 28 was a real challenge for me, but they’ve made every lesson simple and well explained, and I passed my first practice test effortlessly! They are THE BEST!

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Nelson! For preparation for driving! Thank you for your patience and knowledge you share. I passed the exam on the first try! But, most of all, I am glad that I learned about driving, about the safety of myself and other people and other things. Nelson prepares thinking, independent drivers! I recommend this school!

Fantastic experience: Let me start by saying a great big thank you!! This was my second time using SouthTrail driving school and they were awesome for both my kids. Right from the very first phone call Nelson took the time to answer all my questions. Peter was the driving teacher and he was amazing, patient, kind and very knowledgeable. Each lesson built upon the next. Peter gives the students real life tough situations to practice, coaches them through it, gives them many helpful tips and quite literally polishes up their skills to set them up for success. And because my daughter passed her road test on the first try, we still have one lesson leftover that we are able to use at a later time like over the winter so she can get some proper driving tips under her belt. SouthTrail driving school allows you a whole year to finish the program so you can do the lessons over all the seasons if you should choose. Thank you again to both Nelson & Peter. I will most certainly recommend you guys to anyone that asks for a driving school. They are the absolute best!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instruction. Very calm instructor. Would certainly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I took one lesson and a brush up before the road test with Jerry and he helped me gain confidence in such a short period of time. He is extremely calm, detailed in his instructions and really wants to see you succeed! He taught me a trick for parallel parking and it worked every single time! I even passed on the knowledge to a friend and it worked perfectly for him too. I took the road test and passed with a perfect score on the first try. Highly recommend Jerry and this driving school!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful

Fantastic experience: Nelson was amazing and very professional. His attention to Detail was very much noticed and a nice surprise. This was my first driving school experience with my teen and I couldn’t have felt more confidence and trust that Nelson would get him ready! My teen passed his drivers test on the first attempt! Huge thanks to Nelson for an exceptional job! Will absolutely use Nelson again for my other children.

Fantastic experience: Southtrail Driving School is the best. I signed up for the gold program with Nelson. My daughter was fairly nervous at the beginning but learned so much from him. She became more confident and he taught her how to be a safe driver. He was always approachable and on time if not early for each lesson. I highly recommend this school. It was a good investment!

Fantastic experience: I have taken lessons for my GDL and my advanced drivers license and both times was extremely pleased with everything. Well worth the time and money!

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn how to drive! Always very accommodating and had lots of useful information and good tips. Due to this I managed to pass my drivers test in one try! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a place to learn. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to thank Okotoks/Southtrail Driving School for their professionalism and quality lessons with my daughter Breanna! Thanks to Nelson and Tom on their knowledgeable, well-informed driving techniques which gave Breanna the confidence to pass her road test on her first try! I would highly recommend this driving school!

Positive experience: Okay, but I was told to go 60 in a 50 zone so my instructor could see who was driving the Skills driving school car. Instructor also talked my ear off about a rival business owner that he hated

Fantastic experience: Nelson gave our daughter the confidence and skills to pass her drivers exam. He made drivers ed an enjoyable experience for her while sharing his knowledge. I would recommend and have recommended them to others. Thank you Nelson!

Fantastic experience: Both daughters took drivers education with Okotoks/South Calgary. Nelson and Ian were professional, engaged, and taught skills necessary to be a good 'real world driver' as opposed to just preparing them to simply pass a drivers test. My kids became significantly more confident drivers as a result of their time with Okotoks Driving School....thanks Nelson & Ian!!
