This is a multi-faceted issue... Our driving schools are unique, of a very high quality, popular, highly-regarded, fun, yet very safe. We believe this is due, in part, to the following reasons:

We've been running our driving schools for over 20 years. While we've got it down to a fairly well-oiled machine, we're still learning and improving.

We run schools at very safe facilities. That is not to say that groups and clubs should not use other venues. But the Saab club is a great and popular school for the first timer because they are less intimidating, there is reduced risk. The savvy, skilled driver comes back for the technical challenge.

We run our schools at well-designed race tracks, primarily the very technical Shannonville track. In fact, the Shannonville track was constructed as a "teaching track" and simulates many of the types of corners we will encounter in day to day driving. We believe that tracks best approximate driving on city streets and highways more so than driving through cones in a parking lot. So from an educational perspective, our events prepare you for the real world. Admittedly, being on a famous race track adds to the fun factor.

We're open to all. While we run under the Saab banner, we are an open-marque school. We want everyone to take a school. We want everyone to drive better.

Our instructors offer over 600 human years of instructional background. You tap into that breadth when you sit in the classroom, have a couple helping you with skid pad exercises, and listen to your instructor guide you from the passenger seat of your car. Many of our instructors have other training experience - a very large portion, for example, have been ski instructors.

Our instructors bring to the table a great deal of safety-oriented, high-performance driving experience. Each has driven thousands of laps on different tracks all over North America. Some have racing experience, amateur or professional - although we're not teaching racing proper, you can know that they know good, smooth car control. Some racers try to instruct. And that can be a recipe for disaster. Our instructors are extremely safety-conscious. Simply put: they are instructors first!

We offer very good student/teacher ratios. Our classroom sessions, while group-oriented, are kept to reasonable sizes. Only small subgroups are sent to track and skid pad exercises. For on-track training, we have one instructor for every one driver. When you're on track, you have their full attention; you receive personalized instruction.

We cap group sizes so that on-track runs are not crowded.

Our instructors are constantly upgrading and honing their skills. Some attend driving school conferences and clinics. Some coach each other. They often meet and brainstorm and share experiences. They watch other advanced drivers keenly. The club periodically creates opportunities for their formal development. They are a humble crowd.

As we embrace new potential instructors, we put them through a rigorous candidacy program. They are interviewed. We check their references. We expose them to the "Saab club way." We mentor and coach them. We keep an eye on them... And if they're not ready to instruct, we direct and encourage them as to where to improve.

We feed you well.

Heck, we could go on and on... But Saab club schools are quite simply fun, safe, educational, and very good.
