Questions and answers
About the Beginner Driver Education course, road tests, payment and certificates.
What does the Beginner Driver Education course include?
The course has three parts: 20 hours of in-class training, 10 hours of home study and 10 hours of in-car training.
Can I join the course at any time?
Yes. You can join on any weekday or weekend. Call our office and we will tell you which days are available.
Do I have to finish the classes before I start in-car training?
No. You can take your classes and in-car lessons at the same time, or start your in-car lessons after you finish the classes. The choice is yours.
How much of an insurance discount can I get?
You may receive a discount of 15% to 25% a year. Discounts vary with the insurance company, your driving record, your age, the type of car and other factors. Your insurance company or agent can tell you more.
How do I register?
Use the booking form on this website, or call us at 647-886-1365.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. You can pay half of the course fee at your first in-class lesson and the other half at our office before your in-car lessons begin.
How long does the program take?
Most students complete the full program in 3 to 4 weeks. You can finish sooner by combining evening and weekend classes. The in-class training can take about 10 days.
How long do I have to finish the program?
You must complete the entire program, classes and in-car training, within one year.
Can I start the course without my G1?
You can begin the classes without your G1, but you must have your G1 licence before your in-car lessons begin.
What if I need more driving lessons?
We offer additional lesson packages. Your instructor can tell you about them, or you can call our office.
How soon can I take my road test?
If you take our Ministry-approved course, you can take your road test after a minimum wait of 8 months from the date your G1 licence was issued. Without the course, the minimum wait is 1 year.
Can I use my instructor’s car for the road test?
Yes, for an additional fee that depends on the test centre you choose.
Can you help me get an earlier road test appointment?
If you have completed your required waiting period and you choose one of our road test packages, we can book the earliest road test appointment available.
When can I get my certificate?
When you have finished the complete program, visit any ServiceOntario location and ask for the record of your driving school certificate. The MTO fee for this record is $12, paid when you ask for it. The proof you receive is accepted for all insurance needs.
Why do some large schools charge more?
We do not carry large franchise or advertising costs, so we can offer an affordable price for the same level of service, or better. Our students are our best references.
