Mr. Prashad Perera, the principal of Perera Driving School has been in his family for three generations. Mr. Prashad’s grandfather founded the driving school back in the 1950s, and it has been passed down through his family ever since. Growing up, Mr. Prashad spent countless hours at the driving school, watching his father and uncle teach students how to drive.
After earning a degree in computer science, Mr. Prashad decided to follow in his family’s footsteps and take over the driving school. He has been running the school for the past decade and has continued to uphold the values and traditions that his grandfather and father instilled in the business.

Good service sasini dassanayake2025-02-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy that I chose Perera Learners for my driving license. The instructors at Perera Learners are highly skilled and not only teach the best techniques to pass the driving exam but also guide us to become responsible drivers. I would like to give a big thanks to my instructor, Mr. Vagira, for his patience, guidance, and for sharing the best tips to become a confident and responsible driver. I would also like to give a big thanks to Mr. Dissanayake, Mr. Prasanna and Mr. Warun for their immense support, dedication, and for taking the responsibility of ensuring I passed the driving exam. Perera Learners is truly the best choice for anyone looking for a professional and supportive driving school. Jeff George2025-02-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Perera Learners! The entire team was professional and supportive, making the learning process smooth and enjoyable. A special thanks to Mr. Varun for his friendly and patient teaching style—he made each lesson both informative and fun. Highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn! Esandi Udana2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I first joined, Mr. Milinda was my first instructor. He was amazing at teaching me basics and carefully training me to get rid of the fear I had of driving. However, he had to leave Perera Learner’s and I was advised to choose a different instructor. This time, I went with Mr. Adrian James. He was a very nice instructor who made me feel at ease and helped me with the reversing and parking of the vehicle. He was super friendly and made the experience very much comfortable. Then I also got the chance to go on a few lessons with Mr. Prasanna who was also nice and very instructive. He was the one who I did my last lesson with and it was a great success. On the trial day, I was assisted by Mr.Warun who was extremely generous and helpful with all the procedures on the day. Hence, I was able to relax and feel confident in my driving. It is also important that I mention Ms. Shanika and Ms. Thakshila who did an excellent job with providing a good service. Mr. Wajira is another member of the staff who made my driving experience very smooth-sailing as he too helped me a lot with trial procedures. Overall I’m glad to say that I chose the best school to learn driving and now I’m more confident in what I used to fear. Thank you so much to you all!
