Why We’re the Best of Calgary Driver’s Education
We keep growing. Since 1970, we have been delivering driver’s education. Derek Brown’s Academy of Driving had its humble beginnings as a one-car driving school. Today, it has evolved into a comprehensive driving academy, boasting a fleet of six trucks and 15 cars. We have classes for car, truck, and bus driving. Our courses cater to individuals of all skill levels, whether you’re a novice, an experienced driver, or a senior seeking to enhance your skills. We even offer personalized lessons designed to align with your specific requirements.
We’re established. Since our driving school in Calgary has been here a long time. We know what we’re doing.
We’re a real school. Unlike most driving schools in Calgary, ours has a driver training school classroom and several cars and trucks for driving lessons. Other schools can sometimes just be a start-up in someone’s basement with no expertise or experience. Our driving school will still be around when you need us for anything, especially for paperwork or records for the registry. Training school drivers have what they need for success!
Our driving instructors are expert and friendly. Our driving instructors are highly qualified and make you feel relaxed behind the wheel. They help you pass your road test.
In our driving school, the classroom teachers and instruction are interesting. We make the driver training school go by fast and enjoyably while you learn everything you need to know. Our driving school has enjoyable multi-media instruction. You’ll know so much from our driving school and our in-vehicle driving lessons, and you’ll pass your road tests easily. They are experts on what you’ll face on the road tests and all the streets in Calgary. Since the school classroom training experience is varied, you won’t be bored as in most driving lessons. You’ll enjoy yourself in our drivers ed.
We like to stand out from the crowd. What makes us better than other driving schools in Calgary? We have an online licensed driver training course. Do you want to get your class 5 driver’s license but don’t have time to go to driving school? We understand that life gets busy! It can be very hard to spend your Saturdays in a driving school class. We offer an alternative to what most Calgary driving classes offer. That’s why we have created our online driving school course as another option for driving education. Register today to join the driving school Calgary loves! Other schools simply do not compare.
Call our driving school at (403) 272-4246 to ask more or enroll today.

Latest Testimonials
I went to Derek Brown's to help me for my Class 5 Beginner's Road test. The inclass instructors prepare you well for the inclass exam. My driving instructor, Teri, is a great teacher.
I strongly suggest that all new drivers looking to get there drivers license should go here! The instructors are great here, the explain driving techniques and will show you for better understanding if needed. If you have a question they will answer and explain why that would or would not be. They help me with learning new techniques for parking that I was struggling with. They are very nice, fun, and DO not make the driving stressful while you are driving with the instructors. 5 stares and 100% would use this academy again for something like a licenses upgrade.
