Located along the famous Session Road, RLJC like most driving schools in Baguio City places a high priority on learning how to drive safely with high awareness of traffic laws and regulations all the while guaranteeing a fast yet comprehensive learning experience.
What sets RLJC is that some of their instructors are trained to cater to differently-abled students specifically those who are deaf and mute.

Pros and Cons
While we are sure that RLJC’s services are excellent and their instructors are highly capable, one large disadvantage they have currently is that information regarding their courses and their respective fees are not readily available even on their Facebook page.
Regardless of that, they are really highly rated on social media and past student drivers who gave reviews praise them highly for their very accommodating staff and very patient instructors.
