Going in with no experience what so ever drivewise and there great instructors made sure I was ready for my final test. I’d highly recommend anyone who wants to get there AZ license to try out this school. And Greg was the best instructor a little rough around the edges but he will make sure you are where you need to be when test time comes. Thanks for everything!

I want to thank my skilled and highly-personable instructors Dave S., Greg, Jim, Lynn, and Dave T. for enriching our time together with their deep knowledge, expertise, and vibrant personalities, Don for his words of encouragement before my final DriveTest (when I needed it most), and a special thanks to Rhiannon, the commercial vehicle programs manager, for having my back and going the extra mile for me every- single- time.

Knowledge Surge Institute in Barrie is a first class commercial driving school. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced and the support staff are second to none. I have really enjoyed my experience getting my AZ license with you and would recommend anyone thinking of doing a commercial drivers licence to choose Knowledge surge without hesitation. All the best.

I just wanted to say thank you to all the staff at KnowledgeSurge Inst!
Recently took the DZ course with them, and I will say going into it I was NOT confident what so ever about the test and being able to pass it. I got the best training possible they just went above and beyond to make sure I understood. Huge shoutout to Dave T, Don, Jim and Dave S. Super great group of guys who know what they are doing and do it well!
