Triumph Academy of Defensive Driving

Expérience fantastique: Mon permis a expiré il y a plus de 10 ans et recommencer tout le processus était quelque chose que j'avais remis à plus tard pendant des lustres. J'ai enfin décidé qu'il fallait le faire et Stanisa était mon homme. Il m'a aidé à perfectionner mes compétences, à retrouver ma confiance et l'examen de conduite était un jeu d'enfant. Je recommande vivement !

Expérience fantastique: J'ai obtenu mon permis complet de catégorie G à Etobicoke après quelques leçons avec Stanisa. J'avais mon permis de conduire de mon pays d'origine, donc en janvier, j'ai obtenu le G1 et la prochaine étape était l'examen complet de la catégorie G. J'étais nerveux car je n'avais pas conduit depuis longtemps et il y avait aussi quelques différences de conduite au Canada. Avec chaque leçon avec Stanisa, je regagne ma confiance et mes compétences de conduite. Merci encore pour vos connaissances et votre patience ! Je l'apprécie !

Expérience fantastique: Mon fils vient d'obtenir son permis de conduire G2 après avoir pris des cours avec Triumph. Il était très bien préparé et son instructeur lui a donné la confiance dont il avait besoin pour conduire. En tant que parent, j'ai également apprécié de pouvoir contacter l'école et obtenir des réponses en temps opportun : Olga fait un travail fantastique ! J'ai déjà inscrit mon deuxième adolescent. Je recommande cette école ! (Ma première tentative d'école ne s'est pas aussi bien passée...)

Expérience fantastique: J'ai une forte anxiété, il était donc important pour moi de trouver un instructeur capable de soutenir les étudiants nerveux. Apprendre avec Triumph a été une excellente expérience qui m'a vraiment aidé à renforcer ma confiance. Heureux de partager que j'ai réussi mon test de conduite aujourd'hui !

Expérience fantastique: Je publie ceci juste après avoir réussi mon test G2 dès ma première tentative à Downsview, Toronto. Sans aucun doute, la meilleure décision que j'ai prise a été de choisir Triumph pour apprendre à conduire. En tant que personne sans expérience de conduite préalable et extrêmement nerveuse au volant, le style d'enseignement de Stanisa et sans parler de son grand sens de l'humour, est exactement ce dont j'avais besoin pour rester concentré et calme tout en apprenant à conduire en toute sécurité. Dès notre première conversation, le service de Triumph a été exceptionnel. De la réponse rapide à mes messages/questions, à la flexibilité des horaires et toujours à l'heure pour les cours, l'expérience que j'ai eue avec Stanisa et Olga a été extrêmement professionnelle et allait au-delà des leçons de conduite. Les leçons étaient élaborées pour installer des compétences et des techniques de conduite sûres et efficaces qui sont maintenant devenues des réflexes pour moi. Stanisa s'assure que vous n'êtes pas seulement préparé pour le test de conduite, mais prêt à conduire pour la vie. Après 7 cours et un test réussi, je peux fièrement dire que je suis maintenant beaucoup plus confiant derrière le volant. C'est surréaliste d'avoir surmonté l'une de mes plus grandes peurs aujourd'hui, il m'a fallu douze ans pour me convaincre et un excellent instructeur. Alors, merci Stanisa ! Bravo pour ta patience, ton style d'enseignement solide comme le roc et tes blagues discutables (JK) qui ont fait en sorte que je sois toujours à mon meilleur. Et à tous ceux qui lisent ceci, si vous pouvez gérer un instructeur sévère qui garantit que vous devenez un meilleur conducteur que jamais, et cela à un prix raisonnable, vous ne serez pas déçu par Triumph ! Foncez !

Expérience fantastique: Un grand merci à "Triumph" et à l'instructeur "Stanisa" en particulier. Il m'a aidé à me préparer avec succès pour mon test "G". Avant de prendre des cours de remise à niveau avec Stanisa, je n'avais pas conduit depuis plus de 6 mois, et j'étais très nerveux à l'idée de passer mon test G. Stanisa était calme, patient et très compétent. Je le recommande vivement !

Expérience fantastique: Posting this after passing my G first try! I also did my G2 with their help. Stanisa is a fantastic instructor. Patient, calm demeanour, and a great sense of humour. Olga is easy to coordinate payments, lesson dates and test dates with. All around, great service. If you’re nervous or uncomfortable on the road, don’t hesitate to book lessons with them. You won’t regret it!

Expérience fantastique: I had such a great experience during my driving lessons. My instructor Ken was such a positive person and made me feel very comfortable behind the wheel! I would greatly recommend taking driving lessons through them!!

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Triumph Academy. Stanisa is a very knowledgeable, supportive and patient instructor, who really teaches you drive safely. I started with zero driving experience and now I have my full licence, but what is more important I feel confident about my driving. Great overall experience!

Expérience fantastique: "Stanisa is an excellent driving instructor! 11/10. I earned my G2 on the first try. Interaction with the office was prompt and and instruction fees were fair and clear. I earned my license as a mature driver and I shall be delighted to send my eldest child very soon. I highly recommend this local driving school. My experience was much better than a friend's who studied at more expensive competitor's.

Expérience fantastique: The last person who made a review took the words right out of my head. Stanisa was very patient with me and my anxiety and taught me everything I need to know on what to understand about driving. Couldn’t thank him enough! I highly recommend Triumph Academy!

Expérience fantastique: I am very glad that I signed up with Triumph Academy for my driving training. Stanisa is an excellent instructor, extremely professional & knowledgeable and he works with you through the process and will ensure to find the best way to make the student understand the skill. He is very patient and helped me overcome my fear of driving. His teaching method is very thorough and he clarifies the concepts. My husband and myself both have learned from Stanisa and we have experienced how he tailored the lessons to our individual experiences. He prepares you well for safe driving throughout & not just the test (that’s the goal). The scheduling & coordination of lessons is handled very professionally by Olga. I can confidently say that if you sign up here for the lessons, you are in the best hands. I strongly recommend them.

Expérience fantastique: Competitive pricing and top notch training style by Stanisa make this academy the #1 alternative for those who need intensive lessons, in order to pass the test on the first try.

Expérience fantastique: This defensive driving school is first class! From the moment we were first in contact, I was in contact with a very professional representative (I believe it was Olga) who coordinated my lessons with an incredibly engaging, supportive, and knowledgeable instructor in Stanisa. From our first drive together, he instilled a level of confidence and defensive driving skills that without a doubt positively impacted my driving test which I was able to pass on the first attempt. I don't often leave reviews, though in this case they are more than deserving of the recognition - and I truly hope that anyone who read this review feels even more convinced to instill their trust in this driving school. First rate and five-star all the way!

Expérience fantastique: I am a later in life driver and had a lot of anxiety around driving. Stanisa is an amazing instructor that not only taught me all the skills but also instilled confidence in me! I passed my G2 and G on the first attempts in Toronto! As someone who had so much anxiety around driving this is an amazing feat. I owe it to the patience, skill and kindness from Stanisa. I highly recommend this driving school and would give 5+ starts if possible.

Expérience fantastique: I started my driving lessons with Stanisla from zero and passed my road test on first try.I just wanted to say that I appreciate all of hard work he put into teaching me the rules of the road.I appreciate his punctuality.Also his calmness during the teachings and his patience while explaining every mistakes by details and encouraging every single improvements to inspire more confidence . Thanks a lot for all the work he has done for me to achieve this goal.He is the best teacher!Special gratitude for Olga too. For her friendly service! Thank youTriumph Academy .

Expérience fantastique: Stanisa is the best driving instructor out there! Learn from him and not only will you get your driving license but you will also become a good driver. Olga was very quick to respond to my queries. She gave clear instructions on when Stanisa would meet me. Everything was professional. This is the best driving school in Toronto!

Expérience fantastique: These guys are great. Stanisa is a very through instructor and makes it easy for you to learn the rules of the road. He made me feel confident that I would pass my test on the first try. Olga works in the office and she was very helpful with scheduling my test and lessons. I'd give Triumph 6 stars if that was possible. Don't bother looking any further because you'll be hard pressed to find a better school anywhere. Thanks Triumph.

Expérience fantastique: Great overall experience! Stanisa is a firm but fair instructor (with a pretty damn good sense of humour, too). After only four in car lessons, he was able to break the bad habits I'd developed over (many) years of driving with my G2 license, and I passed my G test on the first try. I would recommend them to anyone.

Expérience fantastique: I am very happy I chose this driving school and would recommend it to anyone. The administration is really efficient and Olga is super quick to respond to emails. I expected the in-class portion to be extremely dull, but Stanisa is funny and engaging and it flew by. He's a comfortable person to be around and the one-on-one in car lessons are fun and relaxed while being informative. His instruction is clear and helpful. I passed my road test on the first try.

Expérience fantastique: I am an older driver and have always been afraid of getting behind the wheel. Stanisa is an excellent teacher. He is very patient and has a good sense of humor too. I am no longer afraid of driving and just completed my g2.

Expérience fantastique: Stanisa is such an excellent instructor — I will recommend him to everyone I know. He was patient, knowledgeable and instilled the confidence that I needed to drive in the city. All of my lessons were private — I did not have to drive anyone home, which really allowed me to get the most out of each one hour lesson. It was also incredibly easy to book lessons by email. I ended up passing my road test on the first try! Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Olga was great and quick at booking my lessons and accommodated my request perfectly. Easy to pay as well you can do interact transfers or just pay the instructor and the pick up and drop off are super convenient.

Expérience fantastique: Professional service!

Expérience fantastique: Completed the g driving test prep course and loved it. Professional yet laid back. Stanisa was great during the driving lessons, the class structure was good, and they taught useful things that I still use to this day.

Expérience fantastique: Thanks Olga and Stanisa for always finding a slot to squeeze me in for lessons. You guys are amazing and great at what you do. I really appreciate all the training I got.

Expérience fantastique: I don't have enough good things to say about my experience driving with Stanisa! I decided to try getting my G2 again after lessons elsewhere and two fails followed by ten years of zero driving. I was super nervous and he was laid back and calm, he has exactly the personality that a driving instructor should have and was able to explain things to me that no one had ever bothered to teach me before. I did 7 or 8 in car lessons and then passed my G1 exit with only four errors. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional and the in-car lessons were very reasonably priced - I could not recommend this school more. Update: I just passed my G test after a bunch more lessons, still an amazing experience and so thankful for their amazing work!

Expérience fantastique: Last Friday got my G2 driving license. Thank you Triumph Academy!!! Mr.Stanisla is very patient and helpful!!! Highly recommended!!!

Expérience fantastique: When I was 56, my new year’s resolution was to learn how to drive – again! I had driven for a few years as a teenager (learner’s permit), but never got around to actually getting my licence. I initially picked Triumph because of its proximity to where I live (along with the great reviews), but I quickly realized once the classes started that my choice was perfect for me. I enjoyed the Saturday classes with Stanisa, who really is a solid instructor – he combines his vast knowledge with the right amount of humour! I had my driving lessons with Sead, usually during rush hour in the Jane/Dundas area, and his soft-spoken manner, patience and knowledge were a perfect fit for me. His instructions for parallel parking are right on! And no review of Triumph would be complete without mentioning Olga – always courteous and pleasant and very quick to respond to my emails. I have to say that Triumph Academy of Defensive Driving is the “complete package” for young and “older” alike when it comes to learning how to be properly prepared to get behind the wheel! And I am delighted to recommend it!

Expérience fantastique: I have nothing but praise for Triumph Academy. They are friendly, professional, and more than competent in every respect. Olga was super-efficient and accommodating. In-class lessons were informative and even fun thanks to Stanisa’s lively presentations. As for the in-car lessons, I was dreading those, since I had no faith in my own capabilities. Stanisa was not only great when it came to all the practical aspects of instruction; he was also very supportive, calm and patient during my nervous chattering. As a result, he helped me not only to pass my driving test, but to come to enjoy driving as well. Thank you so much Olga and Stanisa! I’ll be sure to recommend Triumph Academy to anyone needing first-class driving lessons.

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely excellent experience - six hours of driving with Stanisa and I am now a much better driver! He has a great sense of humour that immediately puts even nervous students at ease, yet is very patient. I was able to pass my G2 exit test on the first try, even though I had not driven for a long time prior.

Expérience fantastique: I travelled all the way from the east end of Toronto to visit this place for three simple reasons: professionalism, humour, and passion to teach. From front desk, to the instructor teaching the in-class (who's also the driving instructor ;) ), I cannot stress the utter amount of mannerism they are able to provide; they are total definition of classy people. Olga, the person at front desk/admin., not only evidently possess the ability to write exemplary with her impeccable grammar and professional tone, she speaks with absolute tranquility; I bombarded her with a series of questions, and she answered each single one with patience. During my in-class sessions, it was a definite diverse class with a healthy balance between adults and teens at my age. Mr. Stanisa, who I'd like to refer to as a badass Russian driving instructor, has an awesome accent with an awesome sense of humour. The course material is VERY dry by the book, but you can definitely feel and see the effort he tries to enliven the learning material for everyone. Moreover, in the in-car sessions, the same instructor was very patient and paid close attention to my habits (not scanning with my eyes, accelerating too fast, going over speed limit), and immediately corrected them; don't worry, I know how to drive now safely ;) I have about six more hours to go with my in-car sessions before I bid farewell, but I'm glad to say to my future kids that I learned how to drive from a badass Russian #vroomvroom On a serious note: If whatever reason you decide not to call and give this place a try, ensure that where you decide to learn for your driving is MTO-approved; this is very crucial in ensuring that you get legitimate instruction in government standard.

Expérience fantastique: Triumph Academy is a great place to learn how to drive whether you are a beginner or not! In class the teacher is very informative yet relaxed. In car lessons are great! The teachers are professional, the lessons are private and they really make sure you are learning and practicing the right and safe way of driving. Homework is relatively easy and can really help with learning the rules of the road. The price is excellent for receiving a very professional school with well trained staff. I was able to pass my test on the first try and receive insurance for a very good cost. Would highly recommend :)

Expérience fantastique: I'm older and have stopped and started driving several times. I've taken driving lessons three or four times over the past 55 or so years, usually with high profile defensive driving programs. My most recent pause in driving started about 10 years ago, when my car was hit by someone running a red light. My present instructor's name is Said, my contact at the school is Olga. To my mind, this is very skilled and high quality instruction.

Expérience fantastique: I recently moved from Europe to Toronto and one of the steps was to get my Ontario licence. I decided to go for a full G licence directly. I contacted a few schools and got various prices. Triumph's was competitive, but not the lowest one. I chose to proceed with them as my questions were answered in a professional manner and the lady I talked to was extremely helpful and polite. I booked the first lesson and within a week I had my test booked. Obviously, I passed my exam; however, I decided to take the time and write this review as these people deserved it. My instructor was excellent and a follow through was superb. Thank you, Triumph!

Expérience négative: Unprofessional and overpriced. Had to take additional driving lessons after my 10 hours in car lessons. Driving instructor would not answer my phone calls and would be late for appointments. Made several jokes about driving under the influence like it was OK. If you want to be a defensive driver go to a real driving school.
