Notice
Please note as of January 19 2009 the government of Alberta has implemented a new policy that all road testing will be arranged through the Registries only. There will be no more road tests at A & J Driving School. We will still continue to provide the school car to our students for the first road test. Our students will need to pick up the car rental voucher from the school (you can also pick up your driver training certificate at the same time) then book the road test through West End Registries, as we have made arrangements with them to have the School car available at that Registry only. The students must produce the car rental voucher to the teller when purchasing the road test permit. West End Registries is located at 10011 170 Street phone number is (780) 483-8211.
