I recently took the Airbrakes course with Parkway and was very satisfied. Phil is a great instructor and an excellent communicator who ensures no one is left behind. He provides clear instruction and animates his lessons which maintains your attention and makes learning fun. Five star service and highly recommended.

It was a Great Experience. I was able to pass my Class 1, 18 Speed Manual Transmission Road test & Air brakes in First Attempt. Parkway is very Professional & good value for the money. Thanks to Grant Bailey my Instructor, Phil, Linda & Amber who helped with all the necessary documentations & scheduling.

Spent 7,800.00 with this school and they didn't offer a second shot at the test. My instructor was freaking out about my right hand turns saying to “GO WIDE GO WIDE” Stopped me in the middle of an intersection, after she regained her nerve told me to continue through the turn which was a perfect button hook with the trailer 2 inches from the curb. I failed all my right hand turns on the test because I went to wide. What a waist of time and money. 65 hrs of training waisted, not to mention the time I gave to this school. There is wonderful teachers out there that say "give me this much and I'll get you your class one!" Even if there is a second need for a test. I found somewhere els with little effort that is clearly invested in there reputation and students. PART-WAY wanted 400.00 more on top of the expensive test fees to use there truck to retake the test. I Recommend a different school. This is not a reputable school, buyer beware!!!!

OK, where are the other 5 stars to make it a 10 star. I did my air brakes and 4 weeks driver training and I just can't say enough about Phil and his staff. Great people and definitely great times.It was enjoyable, very informative and they made the entire process so easy and although it was a little nerve wracking, just listen to the pro's and you won't have any trouble passing everything like I did. They are the best...HANDS DOWN !!!

I took the full course package for class one driving in September / October of 2013 and couldn't recommend a better opportunity. Stepping into the drivers seat of one of their trucks for your first time is an nerve racking and exciting experience, and they make it very easy. The instructors are experienced and will teach you how to drive defensively, confidently, an efficiently. There is a lot of demand for skilled truck drivers and by the time you are done this course, you'll definitely have had all the tools and training necessary to be one. It didn't take me long to find a good, well paying job after getting my license through Parkway Driving Academy and it's been a smooth ride ever since. I'd very much recommend the program. Cheers, and drive safe!
