No. All lessons are taught on automatic vehicles.

Your G2 test can be booked directly with DriveTest at: https://drivetest.ca We do not book road tests typically, but your in-car instructor can assist you with this process.

Our instructors attempt to schedule the lessons in such a way that allows you to learn all the necessary skills within the first 6 lessons. This allows the last 4 lessons to be used for review and practice. If you, however, still require more lessons after that, you can schedule more lessons with your instructor. More than 10 lessons are considered private lessons and will cost extra.

We ask that students give us 24-hours notice to cancel an in-car lesson with an instructor otherwise you may be charged a missed lesson fee S50/- for each lesson missed. The student will not be able to schedule another in-car lesson until the missed lesson is paid in full. It is the responsibility of the student to complete all lessons in compliance with the course outline and Ministry standards.

No. The certification is not for sale. You must complete the 40 hours of beginner driver education training and pass our internal written and road examinations before you can obtain certification.

In 2008 the Ministry of Transportation made the change to have students obtain their Driver’s License History from Service Ontario. Driving Schools no longer receive copies of certificate and certificate numbers.

Almost everyone attending our Beginner Driver Education program already has a G1, and for those who don't they must get it before they can start their in-car training. The 20 hours of E-learning sessions are not about teaching you how to pass the Ontario written test. We spend a lot of time discussing scenarios that may impact you in day-to-day driving and we use different teaching materials to make it easy to remember. If you just want driving lessons, but don't have the knowledge, you will end up spending a lot more hours behind the wheel.

Our insurance policy stipulates that only the instructor and the student can be in the vehicle during the in-car sessions. No exception. In fact, if a third party is present during your driving session, it's a distraction.

The International Driving Permit is not a driving licence. It's only a document that verifies your home country's driver's licence. If you want to learn how to drive in Ontario, you must first obtain a G1 learner's licence unless you are a holder of a driving license eligible to exchange for an Ontario licence under a bilateral treaty.

Computers used to simulate driving is not a requirement under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. In fact, we have not found a simulator that can meet driving experiences applicable to Ontario's roadway needs. A simulator is not useful unless the user is accompanied by a licensed instructor. If this is the case, would you rather be behind the wheel inside the car than sitting in front of a computer screen?

As of 2008, driving schools do not receive certificates or certification numbers. To obtain proof of completion of the driver’s education course, you must go to a Service Ontario location and request a Driver’s Licence history (the cost is approximately $12); this document serves as your certificate.
