5 Reasons to Choose Let's Go Driving School…read more 1. Flexible with scheduling and cancellation of lessons. (I had to cancel a few scheduled lessons on short notice and was not charged.) 2. Great communication: my instructor Abdul was easy to reach by text and always responded quickly. 3. I'm a "late bloomer" (older learner) and so took a few more lessons that a typical student to feel comfortable taking my G2 road test. Abdul was incredibly patient and easy to get along with, even when I was stressed out, lol. 4. As a woman, I was impressed by the professionalism and courtesy I was shown. I have taken driving lessons a few times in the past and did not feel as comfortable with other male driving instructors. 5. Abdul has a calm, even-tempered, confidence-evoking presence; his quick reflexes, experience, and knowledge of the finer points of learning to drive were pure gold!

HORRIBLE!!!!! Not even 1 star…read more Nothing good to say about this driving school company. Hard to get a hold of. One instructor did not speak to her or teach her anything - we asked to change - the other just belittled her and profiled her as a rich white girl that would pay her way out of anything. They are rude and disrespectful. Unfortunately, my kid didn't say anything until the end because she thought she had to go through her 10 hours of driving. I could go on with other stuff - like added costs and accommodate pick-up until it's time and then say they won't come in that location!!! JUST HORRIBLE ALL AROUND!!!! DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE 5 STAR REVIEWS!!!!!!

Jim's Driving School, Bank Street, Ottawa, Ontario (613-731-1777)…read more What a great school! Very Professional. Sophia the Office Manager is very pleasant and excellent to work with. She helped us out a great deal. The course my daughter took was 30 hours on line theory and 10 hours of actually driving. The price was very competitive. The Driving Instructor was Gihad Qassem who was also excellent. My 16 year old daughter said Gihad was very professional, funny, knew how to teach, and made the driving lessons very enjoyable. My daughter took her G2 Driving test two days after passing the Drivers Education course, SHE PASSED the first time, so Jim's Driving School and Gihad must be doing something right! We highly recommend Jim's Driving School on Bank Street in Ottawa.

DO NOT USE THIS SCHOOL. Our son took their course during COVID when they were only offering online…read moreand in-car training. He wrote the final exam and completed the in-car training and we thought that everything was great. He now has his G2, but when we asked the school for the certificate to apply against our insurance we were told that he failed to complete 2 1/2 hours of online homework and so couldn't get a certificate because his allotted time to complete the course had expired. While some of the responsibility lies with our son for failing to finish the homework, COVID was a unique time and businesses were expected to adapt their processes, especially when dealing with 16-18 year old teenagers, to ensure that nothing fell through the cracks. The school should have been monitoring the progress of their students and sending out notifications or reminders when training was not complete, which they didn't. Norham, who initially took our call, told us that several families were in the same situation, so obviously there was an issue with their website instructions and it wasn't just our son. We were advised to call the MoT to get a letter of extension but when we called we were told that there was no such thing and that the onus was on the school . When we called back and asked to speak with a Supervisor at the school, Norham told us that there was no need as she would tell us the exact same thing. We had to argue for 10 minutes just to get her supervisor's name, only to find out that she was off sick and that the Owner was unavailable to take a call. Terrible customer service! Hannah, the supervisor, eventually got back to us after 2 weeks of repeated calls but the most they would offer was to allow him to retake the course at a discounted rate of $600. They took absolutely zero responsibility!! So after spending over $800 he has to take the training all over again, but this time it will be with a reputable company!!

The education course was not very helpful, the instructor who happened to be the manager of the…read morewhole driving school spoke about his life rather than teaching the rules and regulations behind driving. Whenever we'd come close to learning about driving all he would show us were driving videos you could find on youtube. 80% of class was based on his life stories, I know more about his life than I do about driving. He also made uncomfortable sexual comments and would make me and the only other female in the class extremely uncomfortable. When it came to the driving portion of my BDE course, my instructor Aswan was extremely unprofessional. She would always scream at me and hurt me twice when she'd aggressively take the wheel while I was driving. She barely spent time teaching me how to park and the ins and outs of how to use a vehicle. She made me cry twice because of how she'd treat me, sometimes mimicking me and yelling at me because she kept forgetting I was a g1 student training for my g2 instead of training for my G. She would always taunt me and question me and would admit its because she had a long day. She would forget when we would schedule appointments and blame it on me for making the dates up, she also slept in once and forgot to show up. I passed and got my G2 but that's because I did a lot of self-teaching and relied on a parent to take me around. I wouldn't say avoid this driving school but definitely avoid my instructor. The teacher, I won't name him because he is a genuine guy, but he's on the verge of retirement and it shows in his teaching methods, he is not fit to teach a class and its not his main position, he just subbed in for someone who went on vacation last minute. I think it would be a good school just not a great experience I had.

I attended a short course in tarts, and it was incredible. The service was over the top. We were…read moretreated so well. While we waited for the course to start we waited in a beautiful lounge area. The kitchen was so well stocked and the support staff was so helpful (students). The chef was also on the TV screens so we didn't miss anything. It was just a great course. We made and took home two tarts - and I am excited to make them at home as well. Just fantastic - I will be back for more courses. The parking was also super easy and they gave us an apron to take home - super cute!

I went into the Cordon Bleu's afternoon tea expecting an afternoon tea experience which I did not…read morereceive anything close to it. First off, there was no loose leaf tea, only bagged, and I was brought a tiny cup of hot water which didn't even fill my mug. Additionally, tea cups were not used. Then, the savories came, and it was not on a three-layer display, as is typical with afternoon tea. These were very yummy though! The chefs came around with more if you so chose which was nice as well. Then, the scones came and they were warmed which was really special. They didn't come with clotted cream as advertised. When I asked, the student went somewhere to double check, and then informed me it was mascarpone. After, the deserts came out and I loved their display; however, our table was then ignored for 15-20 minutes as I tried to flag down someone for more water. That was extremely disappointing as I saw the table next to me be checked up about 5-6 times in between and nobody acknowledged us, even when I was clearly looking around and trying to flag someone down. To their credit, the deserts were fancy, and yummy, and they came around with more if you wanted some. The trolly with marble cake at the end was cute; but wasn't anything special. Overall, I would say this was disappointing and not worth the $95. I know it's students, but for this price point, much higher quality service is to be expected. I wouldn't come back for another event here. I would like to credit the older French man's service. He was very personable, and made the service feel special. It was just a shame when he stopped coming around in the middle because we were then ignored for a while by the others.
