Very great experience my son got his license yesterday and my daughter is going in January to start learning. They do an amazing job and I highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Yukon Driving Academy for new drivers. The service was impeccable and they were very accommodating and flexible. Wonderful prompt service. I can't say enough good things about our experience. We are very lucky to have this great business operating in the Yukon. Scott and his team are top notch!!

Incredible organization, Scott is so patient and knowledgeable and the instructors are great. YDA taught me everything I needed to know for the test and because of them, I passed on my first try. Wonderful driving academy!

Very happy with the lessons I had with Nick. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly which allowed me to learn and execute maneuvers properly. Even after just the first lesson I had massive improvements in both skill and confidence with driving. I fully recommend Yukon Driving Academy to anyone looking to take lessons.

I highly recommend Scott and his new adventure! He has taken my daughter out for driving lessons many times. He is a very patient passenger/instructor. I spoke with him a few times about concerns I had with some of her habits, not only did he work on them with her, but he also gave me some tips on how to correct her...patiently 😊 He has been very invested in her becoming a great driver, and will be taking her out for one more lesson a few days before she takes the road test to make sure she is good and ready!

I highly recommend Scott for anyone wanting to learn how to to drive. If you want someone who is patient, professional and great this is the the company to call! Done almost 50 hours with them and each hour is accommodated with the essentials you need to pass!

Thanks Very Much Scott ! It was amazing to learn the canadians rules with you ! Thanks a lot, to help me with my driver licence

Scott patiently taught me how to safely ride a motorcycle, and he did an excellent job! I highly recommend Yukon Driving Academy to teach you how to be safe on the road, two wheels or four. Thanks for an awesome experience, Scott!

Yukon Driving Academy is the way to go if you want to learn to ride a motorcycle! They take you out and let you ride a variety of different motorcycles, so you can figure out which type you like best when you're buying your own. It helped me get from square one to owning and riding my own bike. Just passed my road test today, and it's thanks to Yukon Driving Academy. Thanks Yukon Riding Academy!

Scott is amazing! I never felt more comfortable behind the wheel of a car.

I recently took the Gearing Up motorcycle course with Scott and Yukon Driving Academy. It was a great course, and Scott is an excellent instructor.

I highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of getting a Motorcycle license.
