You have three (3) attempts to pass the online course. If unsuccessful, the course must be repurchased for $69.99 using a different email address. However, it’s important to note that we haven’t resold the online portion even once. This is a straightforward online theory course that can be passed with a little dedication.

Our passing rate is very high ā€” just read our reviews!
But passing on the first attempt is not guaranteed.

We do everything we can to prepare you thoroughly so you have the best chance of passing your road test the first time ā€” and we want that for you. But at the end of the day, it’s you taking the test. Nerves, pressure, or unexpected situations can affect your performance, even if you’re well prepared.

Thatā€™s why we always recommend you explore your options before registering ā€” and make the choice that feels right for you.

Thank you for considering us!

No, we canā€™tā€”thereā€™s no fixed route for the road test. The examiner can test your driving in any direction, and traffic conditions during your test may be very different from what you experienced during practice. Thatā€™s why we donā€™t just focus on one route. We prepare you to handle all kinds of roads and situations, so you have a strong chance of not only passing your test but also becoming a safe, confident driver for life.

No problem! You can enroll in our behind-the-wheel training program only. However, please note that this option does not include the 15-hour online or in-class course, so an insurance reduction certificate will not be provided.

Only, if you are under 18 years of age.

Certainly! You can reschedule the lesson yourself by selecting the reschedule option in your lesson booking email. Please do this at least 48 hours in advance and if you need to cancel, kindly text us 48 hours in advance. Late changes or no-shows will result in a $49.99 fee. This policy is strictly enforced, and we appreciate your cooperation.

Unfortunately NO, the driving school cars are fully insured (6D endorsement) and registered for training purposes, a dash-cam, dual mirrors, brake equipped on the instructorā€™s side, and training car signage, make us much safer, legal and visible on the road.

One-on-one, IN-CAR lessons are mandatory for your safety, insurance, and liability reasonsĀ and for the best possible learning experience. Thank you for your cooperation.

We currently donā€™t have a female instructor on our team. However, all our instructors are experienced, respectful, and committed to creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for every student.

Individuals have varying learning speeds; some learn fast, and some take a while to drive. Students with some prior experience tend to perform well, with an average of 10 hours of professional practice. According to research, new drivers typically require around 30 hours of additional practice time in addition to the 10 hours of the basic professional driving course. Therefore, itā€™s safe to say that practice makes one perfect, but alone, it is not enough to attain perfection.

The insurance reduction certificate will be mailed to your registered address within 2-3 weeks from the date of IN-CAR and ON-LINE/IN-CLASS course completion (Training hours and performance must meet standards for certificate eligibility).

Reissuing a certificate will incur a fee of $49.99 and can be sent via registered mail to your registered address.

Car Rental – Existing Students: $99.99 + 5% GST (Only available to our existing students).

  • Car only? Meet at the registry ā€” no pickup or drop-off.

  • Car with lesson? Pickup included, but no drop-off after the road test.

New Applicants

If you’re a new student, you must book our Brush-up Lesson + Road Test Car Rental Package: $279.99 + 5% GST
This includes 3 hours of instruction and is perfect for getting comfortable with the car and having a quick refresher before your road test. We offer free pickup only (no drop-off) from your home, school, or workplace within Calgary SE, SW, and Okotoks.

We currently offer driving lessons only for automatic transmission vehicles. All our cars are new Toyota Corolla with automatic transmission. Manual transmission training is not available.

After passing the test, the registry is primarily busy and may take a while to issue your new license. It is important to note that our fees are for the duration of the lesson, and to prevent any potential disruption to our future lessons, we request that all applicants arrange their ride.Ā Thank you for being so considerate!

We do not offer refunds once the course has started. This applies to all parts of the courseā€”classroom, online, or in-vehicle. If any portion has been accessed, used, or if you choose to opt out, a refund will not be available.

If no part of the program has been issued, you may request a refund, which will be processed minus a 5% transaction fee and a $99.99 administration fee.

We kindly ask that you review our refund policy before enrolling, as all sales are final once the course begins. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Important Notice:
All In-Class or Online sessions must be completed within 3 months of your registration date.
All In-Car lessons must be strictly completed within 12 months of enrollment.

This policy is strictly enforced, so please consider it carefully before enrolling.
