I had a very good experience with this school. I took their in-class driving course several years ago before the pandemic before getting my G1, and emailed them again recently to prepare for my G2 road test in December 2021 now that road tests are picking up again. My instructor's name was Mazen. I took about 4 hours of city driving lessons (in 2-hour blocks) in the 2 weeks prior to the test, and I rented the instructor's car with a 1 hour warm-up lesson for the road test itself. After I emailed the school, he contacted me through text, and we set up our first lesson through text and everything else in-person after lessons.
The instructor was very patient and thorough in walking me through all the things that the test would be looking for, helping me clean up my bad driving habits, and his explanations about why exactly things were done a certain way helped me remember how to do them and be safer on the road. For our second session, he took me to the area of my testing site and guided me through all the different routes that the road test used, and all the different points where they might ask me to demonstrate certain skills, so that I could become comfortable with the area. The test was a breeze after that, as knowing pretty much exactly where I was going helped me stay calm. He also encouraged me to ask questions, so that I was confident asking me about certain situations and how to improve my driving, and even in asking the person testing me where we were going next at a tricky intersection.
The road tests were pretty blocked up and behind on the day of my test, and I even had a second person being trained in the back of the car when I was being tested. My actual test took less than 15 minutes, but I think we took 45 minutes to an hour longer than expected just waiting for the test, and my instructor kindly pushed back a scheduled lesson with another student for me. I was very grateful for his patience. On our way back, he was kind enough to answer some questions for me about the G road test, and to text me some helpful information on the G1 for one of my siblings to get started.

Westdale driving school was a Great Experience for me . I thought it was a great in class and in car lessons were very helpful, learned a lot in 20 hrs of in class and 10 hrs of in car lessons. My instructor was very helpful in learning the right rules of the road. I believe my in car lessons with Neil were great and if it weren't for his great teaching skills i don't believe i would of passed my G2 driving test today after only really having the 10 hrs in car with Neil. He made me realize that i can do it and gave me a lot of confidence in driving.Definitely will recommend Westdale Driving School to anyone i know
Very nice in class and in car teachers very understanding i pass my test first attempt
Very friendly teachers
Very friendly teachers
They make you to pay in full before start of the class and once they get the money, their attitude changes completely. The course instructor, David, is also very conceited because he makes a lot of negative comments about his previous and current students. He will also pick up many calls during during in-car lessons. DON'T PICK THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT A PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL TEACHER!
Had an excellent experience! The instructors were very helpful and wonderful. The school prepared me well for the real driving test and I was very comfortable with driving afterwards. Five stars!
Westdale driving school was extremely informative, patient with their students. They showed us so much kindness and run a course that will properly prepare you to be safe on the road. I highly recommend this driving school because it was the best deal with the best instructors around. Thank you Westdale Driving School!
