If you do not have your G1 yet, you can still register and take the in-class portion of the course as it serves as an excellent refresher of topics tested on the G1. When you obtain your G1, please provide it to the office through email and we will start the in-car lessons.

Course Policies

In-Class BDE Course Policies*

I agree to the BDE course policies.

The Ministry of Transportation mandates that all portions of this course be taken within 365 days of the first date of the course (including ALL in-car lessons). If you do not complete all in-car/classroom hours within 1 year, you will need to retake the entire course, including paying again for the course.

If the student will be going for their G1 following the in-class portion of the course, please be aware it is the student's responsibility to provide their license copy to the office in a timely manner (via email!). If we do not receive the license, in-car lessons cannot begin. Payment in full is required before in-car lessons can occur.
There will be NO refunds issued once the in-class dates have occurred.

Students will be required to provide instructors with a minimum of 48 hours notice prior to a lesson if they wish to cancel the lesson. Failure to cancel a lesson with 48 hours notice will result in a $50 fee per hour of instruction paid to the instructor.

Students are required to have the physical copy of their Driver's License on them at all times for in-car lessons. Paper or electronic copies will not be accepted by instructors.

Some of our vehicles are equipped with onboard video recording and dashcams for use only for insurance purposes or in the event of a student complaint. Video will only be retained for use if required for the two reasons listed above. These vehicles are all clearly marked with window decals. Registering for the course will show the student's consent to be recorded.

No student may attend driving lessons with an instructor under the influence of any mood or mind-altering substances. In the event that an instructor is unable to conduct a lesson, a missed lesson fee may apply.

In the course of in-car instruction, students assume liability and payment responsibility for any traffic violation, fine, demerits, etc. as may be assessed by a police officer or court. While every effort will be made by instructors to ensure no violations occur, students will be responsible for the payment of any fines that may be assessed during the in-car portion, including the use of a instructor's car for a road test.
