Eligible for your G2 at 8 months
Complete the MTO-approved program to become eligible for your G2 road test sooner. Insurance savings may also be available, depending on your insurer and policy.
Without BDE you wait 12 months after your G1 to take the G2 road test. With your MTO-approved BDE certificate on file, you can take it after 8.
BDE graduates may qualify for car insurance discounts. Ask your insurer about eligibility, proof of completion, and the savings available on your policy.
We report successful BDE completion to the Ministry of Transportation. Your insurer may ask you to obtain a Driver's Licence History from ServiceOntario as proof.
20 hours of online instruction, 10 hours of flexible learning (homelink), and 10 hours of in-car training with a licensed instructor in Kitchener-Waterloo.
We come to your door — home, school, or apartment — across Kitchener and Waterloo. No bus rides, no wasted time.
Choose BDE Complete and you take your G2 road test in our car — no scrambling for a vehicle, no inspection surprises, no rental fee.
Both packages include the same MTO-approved course, certificate, online portal, and 10 hours of in-car training. BDE Complete adds our car for your G2 road test — that's the only difference.

BDE Essentials + a car for your G2 road test
After payment is confirmed, we'll help you access the BDE learning platform. Complete the online instruction and assigned homelink work at your own pace before starting in-car training.
Pick up and drop-off are free anywhere in Kitchener and Waterloo. We work around school, jobs, and parent schedules. Lessons run as 1- or 2-hour blocks depending on what you prefer.
Once you successfully complete all course requirements, we report your completion to the MTO. This makes you eligible to take your G2 road test eight months after obtaining your G1, instead of twelve.
Book your G2 road test with DriveTest. If you chose BDE Complete, you take it in our car. Ask your insurer whether BDE completion qualifies you for a discount and which proof of completion they require.
A Beginner Driver Education course is an MTO-approved 40-hour program: 20 hours of online or classroom instruction, 10 hours of flexible learning such as homelink, and at least 10 hours of in-car lessons. Successful completion can reduce your G2 waiting period by four months. Insurance discounts depend on your insurer and policy.
PermalinkOnly our Certificate (BDE) packages come with the MTO course completion certificate. G2, G, and individual lesson packages do not issue a certificate — they are focused on test preparation and practice.
PermalinkYes. Students must complete the online portion of their course before they can begin in-car lessons. This ensures you have a solid understanding of road rules and driving theory before getting behind the wheel.
PermalinkIf you fall behind on your online coursework, reach out to us and we can help you get back on track. All online classes must be completed before you can begin your in-car training.
PermalinkIn-car lessons are typically 1 to 2 hours long, depending on the package and scheduling. We recommend 1-hour lessons for new drivers to avoid fatigue.
PermalinkYes. At checkout, choose "Pay by e-transfer" and you will receive instructions by email. You can also pay by credit/debit card or cash (in person at your first lesson).

I had absolutely no driving experience before this. This was my first time learning to drive, and I passed my test on my very first attempt! They explained everything very clearly and taught me really well. I’m very happy with the training and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is learning to drive, especially beginners.

Highly recommend this driving school! I had an amazing experience learning to drive here. My instructor,Kawaljit Kaur, was incredibly patient, calm, and knowledgeable throughout every single lesson. She did not just teach me how to operate the car; she focused heavily on safety, road rules, and building my confidence behind the wheel. She gave me excellent tips for parallel parking and highway driving that made everything feel simple. Thanks to their clear instructions and support, I passed my G2 on the very first attempt! If you are a nervous beginner or just want to polish your skills, this is definitely the place to go.

I got my G2 license in my first attempt! My instructor was Mrs. Kawaljit Dhillon. She was very patient and encouraging from the very beginning to the end of my session! I am so happy I found KWC drivers for my exam preparation! Would recommend 100%!

I’m very thankful to Kawaljit Dhillon for helping me pass both my G2 and full G tests. She is professional, patient, and really knows her job well. She knows the roads, the exam routes, and all the important details that help during the test. Her advice was always very useful and easy to understand. What I appreciated most was that she paid attention to my weak points and helped me improve them step by step. She also adapted her teaching to my needs, which made me feel much more confident while driving. I highly recommend Kawaljit to anyone looking for a supportive and experienced driving instructor.

Having just moved to Canada from Portugal a month ago, I was looking for a great driving school to help me adapt to driving here. Thanks to them, I passed my driver's licence test on my very first try! My instructor was absolutely amazing—incredibly kind, patient, and clear with all her explanations. She made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel right away. Whether you're a local or a newcomer to Canada like me, I highly recommend booking your lessons with this school. They are truly the best!
