History

Valley Driver Training was started in 1999 by the owner Jamie Fitchett. Jamie’s back ground is in Driver training in both the cars and the trucks.

Jamie has had extensive in car training with different companies prior to opening Valley Driver Training.

In the Trucks Jamie worked for construction companies as well as Pro North Transportation in North Bay for approximatly10 years. Approximately 6 of those years he was also a transport driver trainer.  
(As far as we know he still holds the record for being the youngest transport driver trainer in Canada at 21 years of age).

In 1999, Jamie decided that he would open a driving school in Val Caron. Jamie’s favorite saying has always been “It is not about quantity it is about Quality.” And Quality has been the cornerstone of Valley Driver Training’s Success since it first began. In the year 2000 we began to get students from Sudbury traveling to Val Caron for our Beginner Driving course so we decided to bring our course to Sudbury. We are proud to say that both locations have continually grown.

Our most recent Growth has been the addition of the Trucking division and now the Heavy Equipment Division. In order to maintain the level of quality that our customers have come to expect from us we have become members of the Transport Training schools Association (TTSAO). Therefore we are able to offer two certificates for a course.

“It is not about quantity it is about Quality.”

Community Involvement

Since Valley Driver Training has been in existence, community involvement has been at the top of our priority list.  During the past 6 years we have given away more than 100 Driving Courses to different groups and events in Sudbury.  We have donated a large portion of these courses to CJTK and Z103 for their own promotional and fund raising events.  We have in the past donated courses to all 17 of Sudbury’s secondary schools for different fund raising events that the schools have had.  

Over the years we have sponsored hockey players, school teams, dis-advantaged families, the homeless shelters, food banks and a host of other organizations.  We feel very compelled to connect with our community and help out where we can.

MTO and Drive Test Center Partnership

We have had the opportunity to build and maintain a strong working relationship with the Ministry of Transportation and the Drive Test Center to ensure that we are putting safe drivers on the roads.  We fully understand the duties and responsibilities that these two organizations have and as a result we have frequent meetings to ensure that we are doing our duties to the best of our abilities to ensure that the safest drivers are being put on the road.
