About Us
With almost 20 years of driving experience (more than 10 years professional, plus some international), we believe that driving is so much more than the road test, or even more than just “getting the license”. Personal safety is paramount as our city of Calgary grows, needless traffic incidences occur almost on a daily basis. Unfortunately, some of these have been fatal or at the very least, life-altering.
We understand that every individual is unique and that each of us learns differently and in different ways. With our approach, we go above and beyond what is on the road test and share with our students how to safely and confidently drive in even some of the more challenging scenarios that occur every day. That way, our students take their skill, knowledge and confidence with them throughout their lives.
While living in a large and growing city, safety is not only important for just the motorist but those around them including pedestrians.
We consistently outperform the companies that charge $160+ per lesson and we don’t waste your time like the companies that claim to have the “best price/rates” where you could end up spending more in the end.
While we don’t guarantee you passing the first time on the road test, (we don’t guarantee human behaviour, but that’s another story.) We do guarantee excellent value for your money.

Meet Our Instructors
Muhammad Chragh
Senior Driving Instructor
Muhammad Chragh
Muhammad joined ADC a little over two years ago, and in that short time, he's already become one of our senior instructors. What's remarkable is that from day one, students have praised his approach—he didn't need years to prove himself. His compassion, patience, and genuine care for his students' confidence set him apart immediately. Muhammad's teaching style is built on understanding each student. He's skilled at adjusting his instruction to match how someone learns best, and he has a calm, encouraging way of helping students work through mistakes. Whether you're nervous about getting on the road, learning to navigate our city for the first time, or building your skills before a test, Muhammad makes you feel heard and supported. His students consistently mention how he helped them go from anxious to confident—not by pushing hard, but by creating a comfortable environment where real learning happens. If you want an instructor who genuinely cares about your success and knows how to build your confidence from the ground up, Muhammad's your guy.
Ricky Cheung
Founder & Driving Instructor
Ricky Cheung
With 13 years of experience teaching drivers in Alberta, I'm a driving enthusiast first and instructor second. I started ADC Driving School because I genuinely love driving—from my years as a professional driver (courier, bus, and limo work) to behind the wheel with students today. My philosophy is simple: master the fundamentals and you'll be safe for life. I focus on visual and observational skills—understanding road signs, traffic lights, road markings, and the rules that govern them. That foundation beats memorizing test routes every time. I work especially well with nervous drivers and neurodivergent learners (ADHD, ASD, and others), and I'm the only instructor at ADC certified to teach manual transmission from basics to advanced. Winter driving is my favorite to teach because it forces you to truly understand vehicle control and situational awareness. I'm always ready to teach in tough conditions because real driving isn't always sunny and straightforward.
Ernie Chong
Driving Instructor
Ernie Chong
Ernie has been driving for decades and has owned quite a few cool cars over the years. Before becoming an instructor, he was helping people learn to drive informally—friends, family, and others who wanted to benefit from his real-world experience behind the wheel. Now, with about 13 years of professional instruction under his belt and joining ADC in 2023, he brings that same passion and expertise to every student. Ernie is the textbook instructor—literally. He teaches students exactly how they're expected to drive on the road test and beyond. He breaks down the rules of the road with precision, gives structured feedback after every lesson, and holds students accountable to the standards that keep them safe for life. His students consistently praise his technical knowledge and his ability to turn nervous drivers into confident ones. If you want a professional, detail-oriented instructor who prepares you to drive like a pro from day one, Ernie's your guy.
