Actually I have several friends that did theirs through Young Drivers and the results were positive. Im not sure if it's the standard package or what, but they learned a lot about general car maintenance (change a tire, boost a car, etc...) on top of just the road training.
For one thing, they take you out onto country roads as well and show you how to recover on gravel. They take you residential, then more busy roads, and finally the Deerfoot. And they give you short notice to plan a trip to an address of their choice, so they force you to read maps too.

PS. forgot to add that it is all one on one with the instructor, whereas when my daughter did the AMA one, there were 2 of them for one instructor, so they shared the time. They dont get any practical experience when they are the one not driving!!!
