Requirements:

  • Students are required to bring their Driver’s Handbook. A course textbook will be provided.
  • Students will be required to maintain a 70% average in the classroom and once the 20 hours are completed
  • After the classroom portion is completed, students will be eligible for the in-car sessions which require an 80% average for certification.

Upon completion of the course, students receive an online MTO verification from Our Driving School. This certification is required proof for your insurance company.

NOTE: The option to take one or more in-car lessons in the Sault is available and encouraged, however, not necessary in order to pass.

Our 20 hours of classroom training is delivered over 4 days (9 am – 3 pm each day), divided into 8 segments (morning & afternoon). Unlike other driving schools, we offer flexible course days to accommodate working schedules. Our students must maintain a 70% average in the classroom for certification and will learn about the following:

  • How crashes happen and how to prevent them
  • Defensive and cooperative driving skills
  • Winter driving
  • Front and rear collision avoidance techniques
  • Shoulder recovery on the highway
  • Standard and ABS braking techniques
  • How to handle emergencies
  • How to avoid aggressive drivers
  • How to avoid people who tailgate and much more.

*Please note that there is NO online portion of our courses.

In our 10 hours of one-on-one in-car training, students must maintain an 80% average for certification and will learn the life-saving skills they need to recognize risks on the road and respond effectively. We will pick up the students and bring them to Sault Ste. Marie for their in-car lessons.

Students will be brought to Sault Ste. Marie to complete the required 10 hours of in-car training.

The 10-hours of homework is taken up in class on the fourth day of class (last afternoon segment) and we address questions about their responsibilities and the rules of the road, and the consequences of breaking them.

Benefits of the Beginner Driving Education Course

    • Shorter wait time to complete your G2 Road Test (G1 Exit) (8 months compared to 12)
    • Graduates with a Driver License History may be eligible for an insurance discount
    • Become a confident, safe driver

    With an approved Beginner Driver Education Course at Our Driving School, you are eligible to schedule your G1 Exit Test after only eight months. A Beginner’s permit has two phases, G1 and G2. Usually, you cannot exit G1 and enter G2 until you have 12 months experience, but this is reduced to 8 months with your Driver Education certificate.

    Upon completion of the course, our office certifies the student with the Ministry of Transporation (MTO) with a Driver’s License History. This certification is required proof for your insurance company and may entitle you to receive a discount and can be acquired at Service Ontario for $12.00.
