The in-class portion of the full BDE MTO-Approved Course

Our classes are much more interactive than most. We use an advanced PowerPoint presentation with engaging visuals that support the instructor’s real-life stories and lessons. Many students have shared that they “learned much more than expected,” “feel more confident about driving,” and “didn’t find the class boring at all.”

We also have 4 other in-car instructors who are very well-respected and requested by students—Percy, Ranee, Ian and Sandy.

TERRY

Driving Instructor

Terry has an extensive background in driver training. For over 30 years, he has had experience teaching students everything from parking to emergency skills. He started out with Young Drivers of Canada, then the Peel District School Board and The Centre for Education and Training, was an Oakville Skid School instructor and finally chose to raise his family and teach in Guelph. His training experience with drivers at the Skid School in Oakville included more advanced vehicle maneuvering such as skid control, avoidance techniques, emergency braking methods, and proactive driving habits.

PERCY

Driving Instructor

Percy is a very thorough instructor who uses clear and concise instruction that may help students to learn more quickly which can build their confidence. His hybrid vehicle offers students who have a similar vehicle at home something comparable to learn in while showing students who have never driven one the newer tech that many new vehicles may have when they get their own vehicle. As an instructor who has a dash cam, he has the ability to use footage when needed to help teens who are visual learners.
