BDE is a Ministry-recognized credential that earns you a faster path to the G2 road test and qualifies you for an insurance discount with most major Ontario insurers.
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 qualify for car insurance discounts with most major Ontario insurers. The exact savings depend on your insurer and policy.
Your BDE completion is reported directly to the Ministry of Transportation and goes on your driver's licence record. No paperwork to chase, no forms for your insurer.
Self-paced online theory you can do on your phone, plus 10 hours of in-car training with a licensed instructor in real Kitchener-Waterloo traffic.
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 Complete Sale: $40.00 off BDE Complete
Through December 11, every BDE Complete order gets $40.00 off automatically at checkout. Same MTO certificate plus a car for your G2 road test. No promo code needed.

BDE Essentials + a car for your G2 road test
After you book, you get instant access to the 20-hour online course on our BDE learning platform. Self-paced, mobile-friendly, and built directly to the Ontario MTO curriculum. Most students finish it in 2–3 weeks of light evening study.
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've finished both portions, we report your completion to the MTO. The certificate goes on your driver licence record and your G2 road test eligibility unlocks at 8 months instead of 12 — automatically.
Book your G2 road test with DriveTest. If you went with BDE Complete, you take it in our car. After you pass, mention your BDE certificate when you set up insurance. Most major Ontario insurers offer a discount for graduates.
A Beginner Driver Education course is an MTO-approved program that includes 20 hours of online instruction plus at least 10 hours of in-car lessons. Completing a BDE course earns you a certificate that can reduce your G2 wait time and may qualify you for insurance discounts.
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).

Uncle and Aunty are very helpful. I was able to clear my G2 in single attempt with only 6 classes and no driving experience at all. Update: I was again able to pass my G class full driving licence with just 3 practice sessions.

Pradeep is an amazing instructor! I did a few classes before both my G2 and G with him and he gave very useful tips. He’s also very patient and gives good pep talks to keep you going. He will be honest about your mistakes so you can improve as well but tells you in a nice manner.

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!

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.
