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 ā€œgraduated licensing.ā€ It is designed to give new drivers time to practice and gain driving experience over time.

Once you pass your eye and written tests, you get a G1 licence. Before you can get a full G licence, you have to:

  • finish two learning levels: G1 and G2.
  • pass two road tests

Normally, the process takes 24 months to complete. Graduates of an MTO-Approved Beginner Driver Education (BDE) Course provider like Laurentian Driving School may be able to finish the full process in only 20 months. You have up to five years to finish the whole process. After five years, if you do not get your full G licence, you will need to start over.

    • TTCC car driving school Dan Bagyan did a great job teaching me how to drive, I'll be sending my oldest son next year to you guys.

      John Grainger Avatar John G.

      This is the only driving school you guys should be looking at. The classes actually weren't boring unlike what everybody would think, whether you've been driving or not, there is lots to learn. My instructor, Dan Bagyan, is not only the greatest driving instructor, but is, funny, great to chat with, far more knowledgable about driving than other instructors from... see more

      Dan with TTCC in Cornwall was the instructor for my two oldest children when they were learning to drive. Both of them enjoyed his teaching style and easy attitude which put them at ease behind the wheel. Especially my daughter who was very nervous from an experience she had with myself when practicing. Dan and TTCC will be our choice... see more

      Dwayne Doyle Avatar Dwayne D.

      The in class course was well taught and had lots of information that was useful, but the one on one in car lessons really helped my driving skills and my behind the wheel confidence within the 10 hours of car time with Dan Bagyan, highly recommend TTCC for your kids, definitely worth it!

      Kale R Avatar Kale R.

      Oh my goodness, Dan has a great work ethic, teaching methods were super helpful, has a very thorough way of teaching. Thanks to his awesome teaching I got my G2 on my first try. A little sad I can't have him teach me again before I take my G in a year. Great experience overall!

      Melissa Larkin Avatar Melissa L.

      I had Dan as my instructor. Great service and I became a significantly better driver after doing my drivers ed here. Would definitely recommendz

    • Great instructor with lots of knowledge and fun, comfortable atmosphere. Passed all my driving test because of him

      Raph Avatar Raph

      My daughter took driving lessons from Dan at TTCC and enjoyed the experience. He not only taught her to be a better driver but he gave her confidence behind the wheel. We found him to be very accommodating and generally made what could have been a stressful experience more relaxed. I have peace of mind knowing my daughter is a... see more

    • I had an awesome experience with both of my instructors. I started with Dan and got switched to James. Both were so kind and patient, they helped me so much with my confidence. James and Dan kept things serious yet made the experience fun and memorable. James ran my last lesson before my test and I couldn’t have felt more... see more

      My Driving instructor dan helped me so much to pass my test and help me drive without stress

      Brianna McKinnon Avatar Brianna M.

      I had Dan as a driving instructor with TTCC (cornwall, Ontario) and he was amazing! He made sure I was comfortable and understood what I would be doing that day before we even left. He was very kind, patient and explained everything in more than one way if needed.

      Jada Shallow Avatar Jada S.

      I really enjoyed my time at TTCC especially because of Dan. He helped me to improve my driving and made it fun and enjoyable!

      Hannah Eva Avatar Hannah E.

      Dan was a great instructor, he really took the time to teach me the rules of the road. I would not be the driver I am today without his help.
