Courses ::

We do one-on-one in car training and not 3, or 2-on-1.

  • Ministry of Transport limits driving instruction to 2-on-1. A driving school offering 3-on-1 in-car service is working outside of their license.
  • 10 hours in the car means you have 10 hours behind the wheel – not 30 hours in the car with 20 of them waiting for your turn. Your time is valuable.
  • No embarrassment from making mistakes in front of your peers as you are trying to learn
  • Fewer distractions from others in the car thus fewer chances for a collision while learning

The Full Course

The full course is the Ministry of Transport approved Beginners Cooperative Defensive driving course. This course involves a 20 hours in-class, 10 hours of simulator, and a minimum of 10 hours in the vehicle. Occasionally additional in-car lessons may be required at an additional charge.

20 hours In Class - Attitude

With the use of videos, slides, power point presentations, white board diagrams, numerous questions, high interaction with the students, class activities, numerous props and reviews, students are attentive and learn way more than they expected.

  • Law, Signs, Signals, Pavement markings
  • Knowing your vehicle (It's more than just a cool car)
  • Why your vehicle will skid (Almost all skids are caused by the driver.)
  • Motives, Attitude, Behaviour, Teamwork
  • Anticipating verses reacting
  • How to deal and not deal with a tailgater. (Why it's wrong to tap your brakes)
  • Impaired driving. (It's way more than just drinking and driving)

You can have in-class lessons only if you wish.

Use of an EXTRA MILE vehicle for Ministry of Transport testing

We offer the EXTRA MILE vehicle that you have used to learn in, for the Ministry of Transport road tests. The advantages are:

  • Pick up at a place of your convenience
  • Pick up at least 1 hour before the test
  • Use of the vehicle on the test
  • Standing by as you get your upgraded license. (If you pass)
  • Chauffeured back to the place of your convenience

We've taken students to Arnprior, Westport, Renfrew, Walkley, Canotek Road, Winchester, Kemptville, Carleton Place, Smith Falls and Hawksbury test sites. Ideally, the point of pickup should be within a 30-minute drive to the test site to get the best benefit of this service. Road Test Examiners like using Driving School cars as Driving School cars have a second brake available.
