Calgary Driving School LTD

Expérience négative: What phone number for? Keep call no one answered phone??

Expérience fantastique: Reza was recommended to me from my husband's boss, I cant say enough good things about Calgary Driving school. My instructor was Reza, I was so nervous to begin my Driving lessons but the minute I met Reza he made me feel at ease and comfortable behind the wheel, he is very calm and patient and makes it easy for you. He showed me everything that I needed to know to become a safe driver, I finished my Driving lessons and passed my road test on my first try. I am 100% going to recommend Reza and Calgary Driving School to everyone that I know who is looking for the best place to go. Thanks again Reza!

Expérience fantastique: I had Reza as my instructor. He was very patient & understanding and he taught me how to drive safely!

Expérience négative: Terrible customer service. I called in to inquire about their courses and The person who talked to me was very rude and unprofessional

Expérience négative: Went here four years ago. I was a new comer with zero driving experience. I had the Filipino guy as an instructor (not sure if he's still there). I thought it would be nice because we're from the same country, but nope! He kept on belittling me and he would get mad whenever I made a mistake. He even told me at one point to "use my head" "it is not there as a decoration". I even pretend to have a toothache just to finish our session and never came back.

Expérience fantastique: Reza is an amazing instructor, patient and accommodating. The cost was very reasonable.

Expérience fantastique: Got my driving lessons here from Reza for my Class 5 license! He's a great and very kind instructor and helped me alot as I had little to no experience with driving. He saw potential in me when I was uncertain about doing my exam and always wishes the best for his students to succeed. Thanks to him, I passed my class 5 exam on my first try! :)

Expérience négative: Not convinced and wouldn't recommend to a new learner. Dexter is a good instructor and would make you feel calm. The other instructor, the owner would freak out at your mistakes, and his instructions and technique is very montonous and repetitive. He didn't demonstrate anything during the lessons by himself, and would depend on you to make everything correct. The problem is that you don't feel confident at all when he keeps pointing out at how bad job you have done. You need confidence as a new driver, and someone with patience to teach you well. I think they want everyone to be perfect in couple of days, and if you make a mistake then you can't be a driver as per them. I found it absurd and bootless experience.

Expérience négative: Several emails went unanswered. Driver trainer missed one session and it was rescheduled without confirming our availability. They were good about allowing one session to be rescheduled due to illness, but were not responsive when trying to setup a time for that session.

Expérience fantastique: Best learning experience...kudos to the team!

Expérience fantastique: Reza is a patient and kind instructor... highly recommend...

Expérience fantastique: I did my driving lessons with Mr Reza Safai who helped me to prepare me for road test which I got on the first time. very calm and helpful Instructor.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing instructor and more importantly, vastly experienced. I learned more about my subtle errors in 2 hours' brush-up lesson than I had when I was driving. It helped me pass my Advanced road test in one go. All the best to Calgary Driving School and my instructor Dexter, keep up your great work. Highly recommend it!

Expérience fantastique: I had a great experience in both, the in-car training and the theory class. Reza is an awesome instructor and he is always looking out for your best interests. He calmly teaches you to be a safe driver and provides great advice. I felt confident and calm when driving with Reza. I feel that I have become a better and safer driver becomes of the lessons I've been taught. I highly recommend Calgary Driving School LTD.

Expérience négative: The worst experience ever! Reza is calm and good, honestly. However, I failed because of something I haven't been taught (double shoulder check and 360 degree check - I don't know whether that's instructor's problem or examiner's problem - got all points gone solely in those criteria). The school contacted the government the day after and got the answer but didn't let me know. They asked me to contact the supervisor but I called in hundred times in 3-4 days and no one picked up the phone and no voicemail service available. A week later, they asked me to go for the road test which would be booked by the school (but it was taken by other beforehand while the school contacted me for the availability). Then the school asked me to wait. 3 weeks later, I called them and they told me that I have to book and pay by myself and why do I call in and ask for that. Such a "great" experience ever! Looking for another driving school for the retest.

Expérience fantastique: Really great training. Very calm and easily teaches everything you need to know. I passed on my first try. Reza is amazing. Car is provided and very clean, there is a very open and accommodating schedule, and plenty of practice driving yourself. Would highly recommend, well worth it!

Expérience fantastique: I had my brush up lessons with Dexter to prepare for my basic road test. Really great/calm instructor that genuinely cares. Right before my test he went out of his way to make sure to practice with me so I was prepared. Eva from the office is also very helpful and genuinely wants the best for her clients. Great experience! Would definitely recommend Calgary Driving School.

Expérience fantastique: Reza is really understanding and helpful. Very calm energy, felt no pressure and my anxiety easily went away with him. I had little experience driving, he is a great teacher, I passed my road test first try! I will always recommend Calgary Driving School Ltd. With Reza!

Expérience fantastique: Great school. Dexter is the best instructor. I will recommend him to all my friends. I passed the road test without any problems, thank you favorite school

Expérience fantastique: Excellent course and lessons! Reza is an amazing instructor who teaches you everything you need to know and much more, both in-class and on the road.

Expérience fantastique: I have been to a different driving school and when comparing these two schools. I would recommend this one, Reza's teaching is outstanding. He has many years of experience and a great and friendly instructor! I would highly recommend this driving school!

Expérience fantastique: I had a single lesson with Reza, he was an AMAZING teacher. Once I was ready for my driving test, he did a practice run with me, and I passed! Hands down one of the best people I’ve meet and again, such an amazing teacher, he’s very calming and always wants the best for his students. Highly recommend Calgary driving school, and if you book with Reza you will have the best experience ever!

Expérience fantastique: Reza, my driving instructor was very patient and nice. I was very nervous since it was my first time driving ever and I was terrible at it, but I’m the end I did pass the road test.

Expérience fantastique: Calgary driving school is great!! they helped me so much with my anxiety about driving, and I started with very little driving experience but Reza is very calm and a great teacher. 100% would recommend

Expérience fantastique: Reza was my driving instructor and all I have to say is wow!! He was so incredibly kind and patient and genuine. I went from very little experience as a driver and being nervous behind the wheel, to passing my test on my first try in his weeks worth of lessons. If you want to pass your driving test flawlessly, look no further.

Expérience fantastique: My experience was awesome with Calgary driving school. My instructor was Reza and he was kind enough to explain about my mistakes every time. The last session before the driving test was very helpful and Reza actually pointed out the things that I will have to be careful about. Eva was extremely helpful in scheduling the sessions based on my convenience.

Expérience fantastique: Reza Safai was my teacher for my brush-up class! He’s great, he gives you all the tips you need, and he transmits tranquility, which is really good! I just passed my test! Thanks Reza! Ivi (Silvia)

Expérience fantastique: The driving course was really helpful I learned from Reza he was a fantastic teacher taught me a lot of tips and tricks to help my future driving.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent instructor. Very professional and tells you exactly what you need to know to boost your confidence. I recommend Reza, he gave me the last tips I needed to pass my Advanced Driving Test on my first attempt. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: Practising driving with Calgary Driving School was a great experience! Friendly teacher, patient, encouraging and very helpful, taught me a lot. I just passed my Road test today and I cannot thank Reza enough for helping me getting prepared. I highly recommend this school to anyone who needs to become more confident in driving or just wants to get ready for the road test.

Expérience fantastique: Had an amazing experience here and learned how to drive with no prior knowledge or experiences. I passed on the first test! Mr. Reza did an excellent job and was very understanding in teaching me.

Expérience fantastique: The experence I had with Rezza was one of the best, he really knows his stuff and I was able to pass my road test on the first try, a feat most people can't say they've done. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Expérience fantastique: Reza was a great driving instructor. He was very patient and he made me feel comfortable when I was driving. He tells you what you need to work on and makes sure to help you when you need it. I passed my test on my first try and he gave me the confidence that I needed in order to pass the test. I recommend this driving school to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: Reza is a very calm instructor, taught me everything I needed to pass my test perfectly, and a lot of other important tips and information as well. In class portion was very informative, and I was never bored.

Expérience fantastique: Reza was the best instructor ever!!!! Having entered with no driving experience, I was quite nervous to be on the road, but Reza was so patient and encouraging. Not only was the course well organized, Reza took the time to emphasize what was important and even gave us helpful tips about car insurance. Needless to say, I passed the driver's test on the first try, and I owe it all to the Calgary Driving School!! Thank you, highly recommend!!!!

Expérience fantastique: Reza was my instructor and he was excellent! Very calming and supportive and a great teacher. I passed on my first attempt after learning with him. I highly recommend Reza and Calgary Driving School Ltd!

Expérience fantastique: GREAT experience. Me and my wife took the full course. We both passed the exams with one take only. The staff are great and professional. Reza and Dexter are good instructors. I would definitely recommend this driving school to anyone who wants to learn and be a safe and defensive driver.

Expérience fantastique: It was a very helpful and informative class before my driving test. I passed the test. Thank you Mr Reza you are a very competent teacher

Expérience négative: I went in hopes of learning how to drive. I get in there and ask if I'm supposed to pay right away or pay another date and the woman said to pay whenever. Class is supposed to start at 9, the instructor decided to start at 9:20. Wasted a bunch of time, but I'm glad I didn't pay ahead of time or else I would have had to go back for a refund. The instructor was rude, someone would answer the question incorrectly and he would respond with 'oh my god....' To me, that's not a good environment to learn in, especially if he's going to be condescending or even snappy. People decided to stroll in between 10 and 10:15, interrupting class and not being turned away. If I knew class started later, I would have arrived later. The hour and a half I was there, all I learned was that you can go 15km/h down an alley! I left at first break, hoping that the woman I spoke with would be there. Nope. I sent an email about my experience and no one could be bothered to respond, but they would if I were spending money there. I would have learned more from a youtube video than wasting 15 hours of my valuable time in this class. I learned after that he would be doing the one on one driving - no thanks! ESL and parents beware!

Expérience fantastique: I had Reza as an instructor for both the in-class and in-car lessons. For in-class, he made the lessons very engaging by encouraging thoughtful discussions which I feel really helped be remember things easily. For in-car, Reza is a very patient and calm instructor. He is very experienced at his job which is evident right when you start driving. I felt that he was able to identify my weaknesses right away and made it a point to continuously hone in on them which allowed me to improve. Driving with Reza beside you feels really safe so even if you are a nervous first time driver like me, you'll be able to drive comfortably and confidently in no time.

Expérience fantastique: I took the full driving course with Reza. He is very calm, knowleageable and made me feel comfortable. He taught me about safe driving and gave me good advice for passing the test. The in-class course was interactive and taught me how important the rules of the road are. Im very happy with my experience and I highly recommend this school! Thank you Reza

Expérience fantastique: Reza is the No.1 instructor in Calgary.A cool,calm,collected man knows whats important when giving driving lessons, and refreshing.Takes pride in Saving his students money and making sure they are ready for success

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic driving school! They gave my son the final confidence he needed with two hours of professional driver training; he passed his class 5 drivers exam on his first attempt.

Expérience fantastique: Very Kind Soft Spoken Teacher I was new to this Fast driving over 100 but he made sure I was not treated like a new student as I was driving for past 10 year in India .. He helped me brush up my skills very fast. Anyone looking for a moral booster contact Calgary Driving School..

Expérience fantastique: Reza Safai is two things 1) one of the nicest people I have ever met and 2) and phenomenal driving instructor. In ten hours I mastered driving. I had the pleasure of learning it with the Reza. I highly recommend Calgary Driving School and I especially recommend Reza. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful.

Expérience fantastique: Reza is an amazing instuctor and I highly recommend this driving school. He is cool, calm and makes you feel very relaxed. I was very nervous and by the end of the course and driving part I have now wondered why it took me this long to drive. Thank you Reza!

Expérience fantastique: Calgary Driving School is a great place to learn. My instructor was Reza and he helped me out so much! I had no experience prior to the driving classes and I had nobody to practice with either after the class, so I was worried that 10 hours weren't going to be enough for me. However, Reza is so knowledgeable and gives you such great constructive criticism. As long as you listen well to what he says and follow his instructions closely you're set! I took the road test and I passed it on my first attempt. Thank you so so much Reza! I totally recommend him!

Expérience fantastique: I had a good experience with Reza, he taught me how to drive well !! 100% would recommend

Expérience fantastique: I took the full course with Calgary Driving School and really enjoyed it. Reza was my in car instructor, and he is a great teacher. He is very knowledgeable, and is invested in helping you succeed. He gives criticism in a constructive manner, and is also very forthcoming with his compliments when you do things well. Thanks Reza for a great in-car experience! Would definitely reccomend Calgary Driving School to others!

Expérience fantastique: My experience with Reza and the school in general was amazing! He went through every step with me in detail and made me feel very comfortable. Gave great tips too. Would definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Reza was a great teacher! He knew a lot of statistics that really got me to think seriously about driving safely. Dexter was my driving instructor, and he was able to teach me everything very easily. He spoke really calmly, and never stressed me out. I felt really prepared when I went in my driving test.

Expérience fantastique: The staff members were really helpful and supportive. The in-car instructor I had was Reza. He was calm, helpful and extremely supportive. I have had a great experience and this school has helped me greatly in my learning experience.

Expérience fantastique: I am incredibly grateful to my instructor Reza for excellent in-classroom and in-car driving lessons! I did not know how to drive at all before my first lesson with Reza and I could not have asked for a better driving instructor. Reza was very knowledgeable, patient and attentive! My experience with Calgary Driving School was very positive and I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to learn how to drive safely! Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: I took driving classses with Reza. Very helpful and informative on proper safe driving technique. As a new driver he made me feel comfortable operating the vehicle. Good instructor, very good experience.

Expérience fantastique: Reza is awesome

Expérience fantastique: GOOD EXPERIENCE...!!! i had a really good experience with the Reza Safai( the instructor) ....he is very calm and polite ..he teaches and make the required correction of your driving faults. i got the advanced GDL 5 on first try without taking basic road test.. i had only few years of driving experience back home. I am really thankful to Reza safai ...He thought what Is required for your test .. recommended

Expérience fantastique: My sister and I took classes with Reza and he was absolutely amazing! He was so kind and such a calm gentleman. I would definitely recommend anyone to take a driving course with him! I loved the experience and before I went to do the test he tried calming me down which helped out a lot. The Calgary driving school was the best experience. I learnt so much and of course, I passed the test on the first try. I love love love this driving school and they should be all over the world teacher other on driving tips because I surely learnt a lot

Expérience fantastique: ABSOLUTELY amazing! I passed my test on the first try because of Reza. Not only that but every information i needed to know about safety driving was done in a way i never could imagine i was respected. And treated fairly and amazing by him. Not only was Reza a good instructor and teacher but the entire experience there was great. From walking into the school and talking to Eva, to speaking to Reza. They are great at what they do. I would recommend this school to everyone and to anyone! Absolutely amazing.

Expérience fantastique: I had a great experience with Calgary Driving School, my instructor was Reza Safai. In couple of classes i was able to make through the Advance Road Test. Best instructor i have seen Till date.

Expérience négative: I DON'T recommend this school at all!!! I took my road practice in a different school but was directed to this one to take the classroom lessons. The instructor Reza was very disrespectful/ rude, he has power control issues. His instruction was very repetitive and lacked enthusiasm. He would spend long time on topics he already reviewed and spend just little on important ones..... it was hard to seat for 7 hrs to listen to him. The biggest problem is his rudeness. He can be very calm and gentle at times but if there is a student that points out his mistakes or his wrong doing then he loses control, totally unprofessional. Other of my classmates thought the same but were shy to confront him. The good reviews here probably come from the school staff. Other of my classmates had issues with Awan instructor as well, rude and with power control issues too. Lady at the front desk very unfriendly and with bad manners. Instructors have very thick accent and it is hard to understand for many people what they speak, add to that that instructors eat during the class! Awan instructor asks questions bu,t if you answer them right he says you are wrong, because he wants to be the one to know better. I think they are used to treat some students bad and they think no one will ever confront them. I will actually bring a formal complaint against this school and encourage others with bad experiences to speak up and team up. June 20th, 2016 Update: Transportation Canada is aware now, and seems school agreed/might handle " tensions" differently, If they are smart they will behave different, if not people should know they can talk to Transportation Canada. (The interesting thing is that last week Transportation Canada talked to them and coincidentally the good reviews popped up in the same week ...)

Expérience fantastique: Both my kids had their driving class completed here and really enjoyed it. When I registered my son over 2 years after my daughter finished her driving classes, the receptionist recognized my son's last name and immediately asked me if Tylyn was my daughter. My daughter went to another registry for the driving test and failed the first time. She advised that many of her friends failed the first time as well..makes me think they do it to make extra $. I convinced my son to take his driving test through Calgary Driving School. They booked his driving test with Registry Express North Hill Centre Mall. Needless to say, he passed with flying colors. He said his test instructor was very friendly and calm. They are very prompt with answering your questions - whether it be over the phone or email. I highly recommend Calgary Driving School.

Expérience fantastique: Reza Safai's calm demeanor can be especially helpful if you're the nervous type. He never raises his voice and he is very respectful. He is experienced to the point that he can anticipate your mistakes. He encourages good driving habits for life and prepares you well for the exam.

Expérience fantastique: Great trainers. I worked in car with Dexter, and he was patient enough to cover up everything I needed for my test. Eva at the office was very helpful in arranging the training sessions/drivers test with the registry. Recommend it for sure.

Expérience négative: I tried to book an appointment once and let me tell you it was the worst experience I've ever encountered. The customer service is horrible this flippino lady answered and was very rude , I usually give good reviews and I am very patient but WOW I would never recommend this place to anyone. As far as the instructor goes I was fortune not to find out how terrible they were because I went to another driving school and had much better service.

Expérience négative: They make sure to fail you at least once so you will have to pay again. There's this guy I remember his name was probably Rayza or Reiza. Such an impatient guy. Not to be a qualified trainer, I would say. Good luck avoiding him because there are usually not many others available.

Expérience positive: I had an excellent in-class experience with Reza. He is full of knowledge and information, especially extra information that was extremely helpful in order to understand the secrets of safe, SAFE driving. His class was also fun and exciting. I would recommend Calgary Driving School's in-class session with Reza to everyone, honestly, and that's a consumer opinion. Amazing. As for the in-car training, I drove with Frank and the experience was overall good. I really had zero driving experience prior, so he had to work with me a lot. In other words, I was a case that required much patience and perserverance, and that was Frank. I really appreciate his desire to help me learn, and I did learn alot. Frank really took the time to teach me how to paralell park. On my road test, I did perfect on the paralell park! I find Calgary Driving School to be PROFESSIONAL - so Frank was on-time every day, to pick me up and drop me off, didn't waste my driving time at all, and went through all the things I needed to know in order to pass my road test. I will recommend this school to people who want to learn seriously and safely. The price is also reasonable. Although $500 is not a small amount of money, so I would be confident to state that you will get your money's worth here, just by how professional they are. Thanks Calgary Driving School!

Expérience fantastique: After checking with the better business bureau, my daughter when to Calgary Driving School Ltd and was instructed by Reza. He was very patient and professional. If you have tried teaching your own child you will understand how his patience worked way better than mine in teaching my daughter. She as very pleased with his demeaner and was totally relaxed after the classes, which she never was when I tried teaching her. And she passsed after just one lesson.

Expérience négative: The owner of the driving school is a just a crazy mad fellow... he freaks out and will yell at you if you do simple mistakes... the trainers name is Reza.. and he is a totally impatient trainer.. please please listen to my advise.. dont choose Reza as trainer .. if you really need take lesson from this school then choose some other instructor than REZA..
