Choosing The Right Driving School

By Patty Summers


If you automatically assume that any driving school Burnaby will do, then you are putting yourself at risk of enrolling in a substandard facility. Understandably, you will not be able to tell if the facility offers good education at first glance. It is for this reason that you need to research prospective facilities and compare their qualities.

The first thing you will have to do is to come up with potential places you can enroll in. For this part, you can either surf online or you can just ask around. When you have several options, you need to verify if they are licensed. Check with transportation authorities to find out if they are in good status or if they have committed any violations.

The instructors will be the one interacting with the students so they should not only have the right attitude, they should also be certified. Determine how much experience he has had teaching. To gauge his skills, check what kind of pass rate his former students have.

Each school will have its own offers and practices. When you are looking at the classes they offer, check how long each session lasts. Check if they can arrange to pick you up or if you need to make this arrangements on your own. Moreover, note what their procedures are for cancellations and rescheduling.

Check what these classes actually teach. Consider if they touch on all the important topics of being a good driver. The curriculum should not only discuss all the basics, it should also be up to date. Note how long a time you spend on formal training and in actual driving.

Consider what type of vehicle will be driven for practice. It does not really have to be the latest model but it should be car that is in relatively good condition. More importantly, there should be safety features, like an airbag in case the student loses control over the car.

Determine the rates for the packages that are being offered. While there is a limit for anyone's budget, the quality of the education that you will be getting should be foremost in your concerns. Find out if they decrease their rates for first lessons, as this is sometimes offered by schools. Watch out for fees that may be charged later on.

First timers will understandably be nervous about their lessons. When you first get the chance to practice, the instructor will first explain and demonstrate the basics, so you should not worry. Once you are ready, then and only then will you be allowed to take the wheel. The skills you will learn will prepare you for the tests you have to take.

Getting your license will involve having to pass exams. To prepare for this process, one will have to locate a good driving school Burnaby. When choosing one, check if they have been registered and if their instructors are certified. The classes should not only fit in your schedule but should also follow an up to date curriculum. It may be necessary to assess several prospects before you find the right one.
