This guy made me do 18 two hour lessons when i was competent driver from about 5 lessons in. I didn’t like how he would make me do the same thing over and over even when i was ticked off for it. I think he was scamming me for money, i wouldn’t reckommed to anyone.

Dear Unknown,
Thank you for your comment. We are sorry you feel this way but are happy to hear Dino is doing the job we and the Registrar of Motor Vehicles would expect. We find that most clients take between 15 and 40 hours to complete the CBT&A course. Perhaps you should have chosen to do lessons then the Test (VORT) rather than the Logbook course.
Unfortunately we could not find any client who has ever completed 18 x 2 hour lessons with Dino. Did you do 90 minute lessons?
Thank you again.
