FAQ

As required by the Ministry of Transportation, a minimum of ten (10) hours are to be completed for certification eligibility. Many students do find that these 10 hours are enough, but of course, every student has a different learning style and learns at a different pace. Your in-car instructor will advise you if extra practice is needed. If you feel that ten hours are not enough, we offer additional individual driving lessons as well as packages for extra practice. You can call our office to purchase additional hours if you feel that they are needed. It is our recommendation to practice at home as well. The more you drive, the more confident you will be in yourself when it comes to your road test. Practice makes perfect!
