This extensive 20 hour, classroom-only training program is offered over 4 days or 8 evenings. It is for those wanting to better understand or update their knowledge about current road rules, issues and regulations without having any in-car training. (If you wish to also have in-car training, you may want to look at our MTO-Approved Full Basic Driving Program which, upon successful completion, offers the possibility of an early road test and potential insurance savings!).

This package has the best per lesson value. Much like the 5 lesson package, these 10 private lessons (60 minutes each) can be purchased in advance to work on any skills that need additional training or analysis. By choosing this option, the student saves even more money than if they were to buy lessons one at a time.
