Beginner Driver Education (BDE) Course

Course Information:

The Ministry of Transportation recognizes that the Beginner Driver Education (BDE) Program is a key component of road safety initiatives in Ontario. The Ministry-approved BDE course is intended for all new drivers.

Course value:

The Beginner Driver Education course aims at building a solid foundation of driving habits, attitude, and driving skills so students can become a safe and cooperative driver. It is a valuable learning opportunity for everyone especially for new drivers.

Course contents:

The Beginner Driver Education course is 40 hours in total, including

1) Digital learning: 30 hours (20 hours of theoretical knowledge + 10 hours of home-links),

2) Hands-on, in-vehicle training: 10 hours (for best results, the in-vehicle training should be no more than 2 hours each,
with 1.5 hours as the recommended time).

The online learning platform provides more flexibility to students compared to the traditional in-classroom courses, as students can complete the course anywhere and at anytime. The course must be completed within 12 months of the initial registration, otherwise students cannot be certified.

Course completion:

We will certify you online when you successfully complete the BDE course.

Your driver record will be updated through the Ministry of Transportation.

Our programs are designed to enhance the students’ driving safety, knowledge and allow students to practice correct driving techniques on the road while enforcing awareness and judgment as a responsible driver.
