West Coast Driver Training has a new YouTube channel and a new 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid that will become our latest teaching car.
It seems appropriate to make our new 2021 Toyota Corolla the topic of the first video on the new YouTube channel
Look for more videos about our new 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid as it gets its decals and signage, its new passenger side Instructor Brake installed and its Commercial Vehicle Inspection done.

West Coast Driver Training has purchased a new 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid as a new training car.
It arrived at Jim Pattison Toyota in Duncan on 12 May 2021 and I will be picking it up next week after Jim Pattison Toyota has done the dealer prep on the car.

A shout out to Product Advisors Axel Clarke and Steve Reiffenstein and Sales Manager Kenny Hoang whom I dealt with for the purchase of this new training car.
I plan to take delivery of this car next week and it will be available for lessons once the new West Coast Driver Training decals and the passenger side brake have been installed.

I was approached recently in Duncan by a driver from Waste Connections Of Canada who told me that Waste Connections Of Canada is looking for Class 3 drivers for its Cowichan Valley operations.

Just a brief note of thanks for the support and guidance you gave me in preparation of my ERA test . Thanks to you I was successful. The advice you gave me and the pointers you provided were most useful in the road test. I’m sure that I would probably not have been successful without the insights you offered.
Having an awareness of what to expect on the test and all of your advice proved most valuable in helping me undertake the test with confidence.
Best regards,
Ken N. “
