Gold Star Driving School

If you complete our Beginners Driver Education program, you become eligible to go for the road test just after 8 months from the issue date of your G1 driver’s license. If the Beginners Driver Education program is not completed, you have to wait for one year to go for the road test. These 8 months are counted from the issue date of your G1 license and not from the registration date of your course. Once you have completed the Beginner Driver’s Education program, the certificate of completion is added to your government driver’s history, which can be accessed for the time reduction and insurance discount (if available) as well. In other words, completing the BDE program will reduce your waiting period by 4 months. We are MTO approved driving school, and our BDE course consists of 40 hours.  20 hours online, 10 hours of homework link and 10 hours of in-car training. Once 40 hours requirement is completed and the BDE course is finished, you are eligible to go for the early road test.

MTO requires that you complete at least 10 hours of in-car training to complete the MTO approved certification. If you are taking private lessons as you go, this is not the requirement. You will be evaluated as you go and can purchase more hours if required. Most students feel like 10 hours of driving practice is enough in case you are going for MTO approved certificate, which is always preferred due to insurance discount opportunity, early road test booking and authentic exposure to MTO approved curriculum, laws and rules. In an instance where you feel like 10 hours of practice is not enough, then you can always purchase and add individual hours. Your instructor will evaluate your performance and will give you feedback on your improvement and skills needed to become a safer driver and pass the road test.

20 hours online portion of the course can be completed within 4 days (5 hours per day), but there are no restrictions on 10 hours of homework. After completing 5 hours from 20 hours of online course portion per day, if students want to study more, they can work on 10 hours of homework on the same day. The entire online course can be completed within four days given all the 30 hours (20 hours of the online course, 10 hours of homework is completed).
