Driving (10 hours one-to-one ratio)
You’ll start your 10 hours of driving in the driver’s seat with confidence, during times that are convenient with your schedule. With seven instructors, we can easily accommodate most schedules, with in-town pickup. Your instructor will explain the fundamentals of the vehicle and the road system and discuss any concerns before you start driving. Throughout the lessons, your instructor will provide recommendations on how to best reduce the risks and further develop your driving skills based upon your individual needs to increase safety margins in weak areas. You’ll improve your driving skills leading up to the mock road test that will demonstrate how well you are prepared for the MTO road test and your continued driving career. You’ll apply all of the valuable information that you learned online or in-class, plus so much more.

Company Policy Regarding Missed Lessons
When you book an appointment with us, that time is set aside for you – and ONLY you. We never double book and we try to always be ready for you when you arrive. In return, we ask that you keep your commitment to us and show up for your appointment on time.
Please understand that missed appointments prevent us from working with our other clients. That said, our policy is simple. If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the scheduled lesson.
Changes to scheduled appointments must be confirmed with your driving instructor, not the office. Make sure you keep your driving instructor’s telephone number. The office is not aware of the individual instructor’s appointment schedule.
