Additional Training
Where the basics end, and the professionals begin.
There’s more road ahead. We’ll help you navigate it.
Whether you’re looking to expand your licence, launch a career as a driving Instructor, or elevate the safety standards of your entire team, Valley Driving School has a program built for your next step.
Getting your licence is just the beginning. For many drivers in BC, the journey doesn’t stop at a Class 5; it leads somewhere bigger. Maybe you need an Air Brake Endorsement to tow your trailer or operate a vehicle with air brakes. Maybe you’re ready to turn your years of driving experience into a rewarding career as a professional Instructor. Or maybe you’re responsible for a team of drivers, and you need the confidence of knowing they’re trained to the highest standard.
Whatever your next step looks like, Valley Driving School has been helping drivers go further since 1955. We don’t just drive, we lead the way.
Upgrade your licence. Expand your possibilities.
Not every driver needs the same credentials, but every driver deserves expert training when they’re ready to level up. Our Additional Training programs are designed for licensed drivers who need to add endorsements, upgrade their class, or build specific skills for work, recreation, or the open road.
From adding an Air Brake Endorsement to getting behind the wheel of your first RV, our knowledgeable Instructors provide one-on-one, flexible training that fits your schedule and your goals. Training is available at any of our Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland locations, including Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, and Chilliwack — or we can come to you.

If you’re a skilled, experienced driver who is passionate about road safety and wants to build a meaningful career in driver education, our Instructor Training programs will give you everything you need.

Corporate Training
Your drivers are your reputation. Protect both.
Every time one of your employees gets behind the wheel, they represent your organization. Their driving behaviours affect your public image, your fuel costs, your insurance premiums, and most importantly, the safety of everyone on the road around them.
Valley Driving School has been a trusted corporate training partner for some of BC’s most recognized companies and institutions for over 70 years. We offer customized, ICBC-approved driver training programs for fleets and organizations of all sizes, delivered at our locations or at your yard — with your vehicles or ours. Upgrade from the passenger seat to the expert seat, and give your team the professional edge they need.
