FAQs

Is the Beginner Drivers Education Course MTO-Approved?

Yes, the Beginner Driver Education Course offered by Laurentian Driving School is MTO-Approved. As per the MTO, you have 1 year to complete the course from the day that you start.

What is the difference between the G1, G2 and G licence?

Ontario has a process called “graduated licensing.” It is designed to give new drivers time to practice and gain driving experience over time.

    • From my First lesson with Tammy Zink I could've tell that she was a good driving instructor. She cleaned up some of the areas where my Ontario driving was lacking. Thanks to Tammy Zink, I passed my G test on the first try.

    • I’m so grateful that Tammy helps me pass the G2 road test. She is very professional and patient, helping me a lot to feel more comfortable and less nervous when I drive. I strongly recommend her. She is absolutely an excellent instructor!
