Will I receive a certificate of completion?
Students who complete a minimum of six hours of Behind-the-Wheel instruction will receive a certificate of completion by email. Please provide us with the email address you wish the certificate sent.
What car is used for driving lessons?
All instruction is provided in the school's vehicles. Upon request, accommodations can be made for students to practice in their own vehicles.
Will my student be the only one in the car with the instructor during the lesson?
Yes. We provide one-on-one lessons without the distraction of other passengers. Special arrangements are made for students that require an interpreter or have other special needs. We do not participate in "piggybacking" lessons, where students drive other students home at the end of their lessons.
General
How far in advance should I book lessons?
We recommend booking lessons early during the six-month permit period. Since students under 18 must hold their permit for six months, spacing lessons out allows for better skill development. Waiting until the last minute before the Road Test is not advised.

Lessons may be rescheduled with advance notice, subject to instructor availability. A cancellation fee may apply if sufficient notice is not provided.
Is there a cancellation charge?
