Our Training Steps to Success
Interactive Classroom
Using a blended model that links interactive classroom learning with one-on-one in-vehicle training, the DriveWise approach provides all new drivers with a solid foundation of safety, skill and confidence. Students are engaged through the use of state-of-the-art quizzes and games, and are challenged through case studies, group discussions and exciting learning activities.
Our highly trained instructors lay the foundation for skill development and improvement through intensive and interactive classroom material, which is then reinforced in the driving simulator.
Simulation Lab
Our driving simulator is an incredibly powerful tool for improving decision making and emphasizing the need for proactive driving skills/habits. Students can be put in risky situations without being put at risk, which allows instructors to focus on coaching. Students are also able to make mistakes safely, with scenario replays to highlight areas of improvement.
Through the use of simulation, students are exposed to everything available through an in-vehicle program and more. The flexibility and safe environment of the simulator enables DriveWise to expose participants to situations that would be impossible in a live vehicle.
ONLINE LEARNING
DriveWise’s online components work to further reinforce theory learned in the classroom. The independent form of study works as a refresher, but also as a way for students to further develop independent thought when it comes to making important decisions behind the wheel.
One-on-one in-vehicle sessions
Once the classroom portion is complete, personalized in-vehicle lessons expand the student’s knowledge further, preparing them for a lifetime of safe driving.
Our students and parents can feel confident they are being trained by qualified instructors with decades of experience in the industry.
All of our vehicles are owned by DriveWise and are part of our Fleet Safety Maintenance programs. Parents and students can feel at ease knowing their driver training vehicle will be safe and comfortable.

Why Blended Training?
THE DRIVEWISE Advantage
DriveWise’s blended learning approach sets us apart from all other driving schools. The use of simulation allows our instructors to coach young drivers through situations that simply cannot be duplicated in a vehicle. Here are some examples of what this approach can teach that in-vehicle and classroom teaching alone cannot:

Don’t just take our word for it!

I would highly recommend Drive Wise because the in class and car lessons kept my teenager engaged and excited for each lesson. It’s not very often a teen … More looks forward to attending a learning environment, however he found the staff relatable and more importantly very funny! He was surprisingly sad that his in car lessons were over. He would have loved to hang out with Johnny Lee for longer but he successfully obtained his G2 and completed his goals with Johnny. Worth every penny!

I'd like to thank everyone at DriveWise for their expertise and knowledge. I took the week long DZ course followed with 3 in cab training sessions … More and have nothing but good things to say. They throw a lot at you and see what sticks but wouldn't have it any other way. I passed my roadtest and now driving around a garbage truck for GFL environmental. Special thanks to Dave for the in class lessons, and John and a different Dave for the in cab lessons. Everyone was top notch.
Keep the rubber on the road.

Had an amazing experience with my two instructors: Bill Bolton and Johnny Le. Both of these instructors were extremely patient. Both bring an amazing amount … More of knowledge to the table and are very passionate about what they do. Johnny in particular is always full of energy and goes above and beyond to help his students. He even created YouTube videos to map out the potential road test routes for his prospective students. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
