If your thinking of taking a driving course. This would be the one to take if you want to not only learn how to drive but how to be a defencive driver. Don & Lynn are very *patient* and knowledgable. By the time you are finished your course you are not only ready to drive, you are prepared to drive in the real world not just pass your road test. If your going to take a course spend the money and do the long course that way you are fully prepared. I came from Vancouver Island to take the course and had an enjoyable time not only during the driver training but the people in town are friendly and supportive as well. The accommodations are spacious and very comfortable. I don't hesitate in recommending this school to anyone.

Well taught and precented Air Brake Course. Several of our members have gone through their course.
Clearwater Fire Protection, Clearwater, B.C.
This course has been beneficial to me as Don has been a great instructor with lots of patience and a relaxed atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of defensive driving Don incorporates into his one on one lesson. The accommodations are nice, clean and very adequate. Lynn also is a very capable and friendly instructor who knows her position well. I would recommend this driving school to anyone.

I was the 1st student for NorthThompson Driving School. I really enjoyed the course, aced my pretrip and road test even after mistakenly being asked to back in on my blind side! I had work to go to before the course was finished. Course great and recommend this school.
