Questions About the BDE Program?

Here are the answers parents and new drivers ask most often.

1

Do I need my G1 before I can start?

You can start the theory portion right away — no G1 required. For the in-car lessons, you'll need a valid G1 licence. Many students complete the online theory while waiting for their G1 test, so you're ready to hit the road as soon as you pass.

2

How soon can I take my G2 road test?

With our MTO-approved BDE program, you can book your G2 test just 8 months after your G1 is issued — instead of waiting the full 12 months. That's 4 months sooner to full driving freedom.

3

What's the difference between Online and In-Class?

Both include the same 10 hours of private in-car training and full MTO certification. Online lets you complete theory at your own pace from any device. In-Class gives you 20 hours of live instruction with an instructor. Choose what fits your schedule and learning style.

4

How do I get my insurance discount?

Once you complete the program, we submit your certification to the Ministry. You'll receive a Driver's Licence History from ServiceOntario — present this to your insurance provider to unlock the maximum discount available for new drivers.
