This course requires that you complete 20 hours of in-class learning + 10 hours of independent study + 10 hours of in-car lessons with one of our knowledgeable and licensed driving instructors.
STEP 3: Take your G2 road test (G1 Exit)
You now are able to take your first road test – the G1 Exit. With the Beginner Education Course you’re able to take this test 4 months earlier! Still unsure if you’re ready? We can help by providing you with a refresher lesson.
