Air Brake Courses at Valley Driving School

"I want to thank my instructor and the friendly knowledgeable staff that made my dream to become a commercial driver come true.

I'm currently doing long-haul runs through North America and I enjoy my job.

I've accepted the challenge to begin my journey as a truck driver and there are tough times; but I remember my Instructor said it's all about your attitude. So I stayed positive and bulldoze every obstacle in my way.

Yahoo!! Thanks again :)"

"Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you very much for everything you have done for me during my somewhat tumultuous journey to finally obtaining my Class 1.  

The people in your office will remember what a struggle it was for me.  However, I prevailed, and set off to Grande Prairie, Alberta  with my freshly printed Class 1 in my hand.  Today I got my first truck driver job with Badger Daylighting, driving a triple axle Vac truck.  They made me take a test drive before they would hire me, and all I could hear before hand was my Instructor telling me to "relax John, you're a good driver".  I aced it, even though I had not driven a 18 speed triple axle before.  

All of the amazing training I received at Valley saw me through.  Thanks to all of your amazing staff.  They should share in this victory.  Forever your #1 fan."

"As I walked through the doors of Valley Driving School, my nostrils were tickled with the sweet smell of Nandos chicken. I knew this was going to be a great day. A staff member smiled me from across the desk and asked how she could help me.  I Explained to her that I was a mere class 5 driver and I was ready to become a man, Class 1!!  She Built me the perfect schedule working around my work priorities telling me she had just the right instructor for me. The first day of driving, I met him,  Boots shined, safety vest on, he looked at me and said "Lets go Trucking".  As we hit the open road it could not have been more relaxed. (until he had to hit his brake...) Every lesson got better as he encouraged me along my way to manhood, also being sure to let me know what to improve upon. Through his careful guidance, I was able to get my Class 1 first try with no problems.  

Thanks to everyone at Valley for the great experience, I look forward to seeing you out there where the rubber meets the road."

"Recently attended Valley Driving School, for which I was taking their class 1 basic course.

I had a fantastic experience.  

The office was very organized, and easily answered every question I had.

The classroom courses really taught me so much more than I was expecting to learn, and my driving instructor, made learning how to drive a Tractor/ Trailer combo a breeze, he was very laid back and made the whole experience great.

Thanks for the help guys!!"

"Valley Driving School I can’t thank you enough for all you've done for me. I went from not knowing anything about trucking to passing my class 1 road test first try. The service that you have provided is beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

Your instructors and service are of the highest quality and I couldn't be happier for making the decision in choosing you guys for my training. A special thanks to my Instructor for encouraging me and guiding me to this point I couldn't have done it without you thank you very much I appreciate everything.

If anyone decides to get their class 1 I highly recommend Valley Driving School.  Thanks again to the whole team at Valley."

"I took the Airbrakes course and certification a few weekends ago in Abbotsford. The instructor was just amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He taught me in ways that was easy to remember and understand. I passed the pre-trip inspection test and brake adjustment test on a Sunday then took the Airbrakes knowledge test the following day to get my endorsement.  I got 100%.

I practised the online test for class 3 and class 6 multiple times and I was able to pass my learner's for those licenses as well.

Your instructors and website are excellent.  Keep up the great work! I will definitely come back to take the Class 3 program when I have the time this year!  Thanks!"

~Julius

I have now completed the program and would just like to thank you for your help. I have received my class 1 licence in the mail and just attended the Driving Your Career Forward class last night in Aldergrove, which was great.

I enjoyed all the classes, whether they were in the classroom, or the pre-trip practical and the on road lessons! It's been a great experience and I'm really grateful to everyone involved who helped make it possible, and I'm really impressed and happy with the professionalism, knowledge, patience and humor I encountered at Valley, it all surpassed my expectations.

~Morgan

I performed an internet search for the top driving schools in the lower mainland. Valley Driving School was at the top of the list. I registered for the class 3 license option. My Instructor went the extra mile for me with the training and I passed the road test first time.  I can’t say enough about my Instructor's professionalism and Valley Driving School. The rest of the staff I interacted with were also equally as professional and friendly.

Thank you.

~ Anubis

I had my tests yesterday I just wanted to say thanks for all you did for me building my schedule and a truly heartfelt thanks to my Instructor for giving me the knowledge and confidence I received from him. Professional all the way... took the time to teach me everything I knew nothing about. Not only did I pass my pre trip..... I aced it with 0 demerits. 

Again... Thank you to my Instructor soooo much. I will never forget you. Everytime I hop in to a class 3 vehicle it's all because of you and your teaching skills that helped me successfully reach my goals.

~ Chris

I took lessons for my class 3 licence with air brakes and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.

My Instructor was truly wonderful. He was supportive and encouraging, which helped build my driving confidence. He also made sure that I had a solid understanding of all elements of the pre-trip inspection.

My Instructor was generous with feedback and adapted each lesson to my priorities and needs. He seemed genuinely invested in my success, which paid off when I passed my road test!

~Marina

Thank you so much Valley Driving School for helping me get my class 1.

I am very happy to say that I got the best Instructor. Thank you so much for teaching me the lessons, helping me get my licence easily and being the best school in this area with amazing Instructors. 

Highly recommended for anyone planning to get class 1 licence. Thanks again Valley Driving School.

~ Sheron

I just want to give a shout out to Valley Driving School and in particular my Instructor. He was so patient with me in this process as well as knowledgeable and affirming. I would not have succeeded on my own.

Thanks! I really value your support.

~ Edward

Just completed the class 1 MELT program here and I have had nothing short of an amazing experience.

All the Instructors are very knowledgeable and I never left questioning if I was capable of performing any maneuver as the Instructors are all passionate to make sure you always leave fully confident about yourself, continuing to build your confidence throughout the whole program.

~ Ryan

I decided to take my class 1 driver’s training at Valley Driving School on reputation alone. Everyone I asked suggested that without a doubt, Valley is the best.

From my very first email to passing my road test, the staff at Valley made my experience one to remember.

~ Mike

I recently took class 1 lessons. Valley Driving School was a great place for me to get my class 1. Everyone in the office was very helpful and my Instructor was excellent in-cab.

Everyone did an awesome job making me feel comfortable behind the wheel and building my confidence to pass my evaluation.

I will definitely be getting my son class 5 lessons with them. Exceptional professionalism!

~Rob

My experience overall with Valley Driving School was good.

My Instructor was fantastic and taught me everything in a very easy manner to learn quickly. My Instructor was very easy to talk to in the truck - Even if you had a random question, he knew the answer.

He cared about me right to test day making sure I texted him to let him know whether I passed or not.

~Andrew

Valley driving school is hands down the best around. My Instructor for my air brakes course was super knowledgeable and his way of teaching made it easy for me to follow and understand what areas to study. My second Instructor was also an awesome Instructor and helped me with my certification. From the booking to the course it was flawless and of course I passed my knowledge test first round ! Thanks everyone at Valley!!

~ Brad

My Instructor was very personable and knew how to explain in a way that even a person with no background in this industry could understand and learn. It was a very good course. At first I attended with great trepidation but after reading the chapters I was able to better understand the information. Thank you very much!

~ Debbie

Keep up the fantastic work! You were very informative and knowledgeable about the subject at hand. I went from no airbrakes to having an endorsement in 4 days! I will be coming back for my Class 1.
