📘 GDL Online Theory & In-Car Lessons
Once you complete the 15-hour online theory course (GDL program), we recommend booking your in-car lessons 2–3 weeks in advance — right after enrollment.
Please note: Alberta Transportation requires all GDL students to complete the full theory course before starting any in-car lessons. This ensures a safe, effective, and well-structured learning experience.
⚠️ Important Notice
As per Alberta Transportation guidelines, all GDL applicants must complete the full 15-hour online theory course before starting any in-car lessons.
This ensures a safe, effective, and well-structured learning experience for every student.
📝 Online Course Attempts:
You have three (3) attempts to pass the online theory course.
If not successful, it must be repurchased for $69.99 using a different email address.
That said — we’ve never had to resell it! With a little dedication, this course is very doable and straightforward.
✅ Our Pass Rate is High — Just Read the Reviews!
While many of our students pass on their first try, it’s not guaranteed.
We do everything possible to prepare you thoroughly for your road test — and we want you to succeed!
But it’s your test, and nerves or unexpected situations can affect even the most prepared driver.
That’s why we encourage you to explore all your options and choose the path that feels right for you.
Thank you for considering us!
🛣️ Do You Teach the Exact Road Test Route?
No — because there isn’t one fixed route. Examiners can go in any direction, and traffic or weather can change everything on test day.
That’s why we don’t limit practice to one area. Instead, we focus on building real-world confidence — preparing you for all kinds of roads, conditions, and situations.
Our goal? To help you pass your test and become a safe, capable driver for life.
👍 Behind-the-Wheel Training Only
You can enroll in our behind-the-wheel program without the online or in-class theory course.
Note: This option does not include the 15-hour theory course, so no insurance reduction certificate will be issued.
🔄 Reschedule & Cancellation Policy
You can reschedule your lesson yourself using the reschedule link in your booking email.
Please do this at least 48 hours in advance.
To cancel, kindly text us 48 hours in advance.
Late changes or no-shows will incur a $49.99 fee.
This policy is strictly enforced — thank you for your cooperation.
🚗 Training Cars Safety & Compliance
Unfortunately, NO—our driving school cars are fully insured with a 6D endorsement and registered specifically for training.
They are equipped with dash-cams, dual mirrors, an instructor-side brake, and clear training signage to ensure safety, legality, and visibility on the road.
🚘 One-on-One IN-CAR Lessons
These lessons are mandatory for your safety, insurance, and liability reasons — and to ensure the best learning experience.
Thank you for your cooperation.
👩🏫 Instructor Information
Currently, we don’t have a female instructor on our team.
However, all our instructors are experienced, respectful, and dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable learning environment for every student.
⏳ Everyone Learns Differently
Some students learn quickly, others take more time.
Those with prior experience usually do well, averaging about 10 hours of professional practice.
Research shows new drivers often need an additional 30 hours of practice beyond the basic course.
Practice makes perfect, but alone, it’s not enough to reach perfection.
📬 Insurance Reduction Certificate
The certificate will be mailed to your registered address within 2–3 weeks after completing both in-car and online/in-class courses.
(Training hours and performance must meet the required standards for eligibility.)
🔄 Certificate Reissue
Reissuing your insurance reduction certificate costs $49.99.
It will be sent via registered mail to your registered address.
