Thank you to our customers for choosing Glenn’s as Edmonton’s top driving school.
Advantages of taking the Insurance Reduction Course at Glenn’s Driving School are:

Lessons begin and end at the driving school

• This guarantees a full 60 minutes of instruction time.
• We have set lesson plans which all instructors must follow. Every student does the same things in the same way. Therefore, the quality of the lesson does not depend on which instructor a student has.
• ALL students begin their lessons in a quiet residential neighborhood and only progress to heavy traffic areas once the basic skills have been mastered.
• “It became very easy to learn to drive from the people here.”
• “I tried two teachers with (another school)…I am so grateful I found Glenn’s. The two teachers were fantastic”

One-on-one with the Instructor

• Students never share instruction times with other students unless the students are siblings, and both have requested to do so.

Scheduling is done from our office with a receptionist

• Instructors are NEVER trying to instruct and book lessons simultaneously.
• There is no rush to “get it done” and get off the phone.
• “They were very helpful with booking lessons and returning phone calls.”

Quality Classroom Instruction

• IN-PERSON CLASSES
• The course includes an emphasis on defensive driving, plus time for student interaction and discussion.
• Our classroom instructor has also taught in the cars, and is able answer any questions the student may have in this regard.
• Arrangements can be made to take the classroom test orally.
• Multiple FREE practice tests will be made available to students experiencing difficulty passing the Classroom Test.
•  
• “Very friendly, knowledgeable; reasonable and easy to understand”
• “Very informative; lots of information”

Heavy Traffic Drive focuses on left turns and lane changes

• These are critical areas, where many collisions occur.
• This works on the judgment needed by students to avoid these collisions

Standard/Manual Lessons are Provided

• Students can opt to do all 10 hours in Automatic, or take 6 hours Standard and 4 hours Automatic for the same rate.
• Students choosing to take Standard lessons can switch to the Automatic at any time.
• Also, if the instructor feels that the student might not be ready for the road test if he/she continues on the standard, he will suggest switching to the automatic.

Flexible Scheduling

• Lessons may be scheduled days, evenings, or Saturdays.
• In-car lessons are booked at the time of registering unless the student wants to wait.
• Lessons can be re-scheduled at any time. There is no charge if we have been given 24 hours’ notice.
• Classroom Schedules:
  • Evenings Five weekdays, 6:00pm – 9:15pm
  • Mornings During Christmas and Spring Breaks, and July and August
  • Monday to Friday, 9:15 am to 12:30 pm
• If a student’s schedule does not allow him/her to attend all classrooms in a particular session, the student can make up the class in a future session.
• “Glenn’s was very willing to accommodate me.”
• “ I had to re-book – they were happy to accommodate me.”

Preparing to Practice Safely

• Students who are not yet eligible for the Class 5 test may take 7 hours of lessons immediately, and save the last 3 hours for a refresher just before taking the test.

• Students - AND PARENTS – can be confident that they are practicing properly and safely during the months leading up to their road test.
