Description

Attend live, instructor-led BDE classes remotely, then complete the required individual in-car training.

About the Beginner Driver Education program

The complete program includes 20 hours of theory instruction, 10 hours of flexible instruction and 10 hours of one-on-one in-car training.

• Completion deadline: All theory, flexible instruction and in-car training must be completed within one year of the course start date.
• G1 licence: A G1 is not required to begin the theory portion, but it is required before any in-car lesson. Students may register up to three months before turning 16.
• In-car scheduling: The theory component must be completed before in-car lessons are scheduled. Please allow 2–3 weeks after submitting your completed BDE in-car request and required documents for lessons to begin. Standard in-car training typically takes 2–4 months from the start of lessons. BDE Expressway, if purchased, completes the 10 in-car hours within six weeks of your agreed start date.
• Pick-up and drop-off: Pick-up and drop-off are included for scheduled BDE in-car lessons, subject to location and instructor availability. If an address is outside our regular service area, a convenient meeting point closer to the service area may be arranged.
• Course completion: Graduates may request a Driver’s Licence History from ServiceOntario as proof of BDE completion and may qualify for an insurance discount.

Course timing depends on student and school availability. Completion of BDE does not guarantee success on a government road test.
