 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just successfully passed the class 1melt course. Thanks to the Top professional instructors  with Decades of driving and teaching experience, they will get you to your goals. For me, the biggest benefit of going to High Country Is it location. Start out on country road no traffic no stress, learning how to shift then you progressed to going around Cranbrook then over the Kooteney Pass a very fun day. If your choice is either going to the lower mainland or come to the  Cranbrook it ‘s a no-brainer.  You will learn more driving these roads than you will in the city traffic. And the only traffic jam would be in is a herd of elk. Will you get a job they don’t guarantee that, but  I have 2 interviews 1 day after passing my  road test. Wade, Doug and Dave will get on a path to success
