4) What does the course fee pay for?

 

The Course Fee covers the following:

 

20 Hours of Classroom time

10 Hours of Private Driving Lessons (schedule in 5 sessions of 2 hours each)

1 Stamped and Numbered JETALA Workbook (replacements must be paid for)

Online Certification with the Ministry of Transportation

Booking of the Student's G1 Exit Test

 

5) What happens if I can't make one of my in-class sessions?

 

     Ministry of Transportation policy dictates that if a student misses a classroom session, he or she may not finish classes until the next course is offered.  For example:  If you were scheduled to come to classroom sessions from Monday to Thursday, but miss Wednesday, you may not come on Thursday either.  You will have to wait until we run the course again and make up BOTH days then, which may be as much as a month later.  Therefore, we strongly advise students to clear their schedules for the days they plan to be in the classroom, in order to avoid these kinds of delays in their driver education.

 

6) I started your course last year but didn't finish my lessons. Can I still graduate and be certified?

 

     Ministry of Transportation policy allows a student up to one full year to complete the course.  So if you started a course on January 1st, 2010, you have until December 31st, 2010 to completely finish the course and hand in your workbook.  As long as you do so, and your fees have been completely paid, you can be certified on the DES and be eligible for a discount on your insurance.  If one year passes and you have not completed the course (including the workbook) and/or you have not finished paying for the course, you cannot be considered a "graduate" of Gord's Driving School.  You will not be permitted to finish any work or lessons you started; you will have to start the course over again if you want to receive a discount on your insurance.  You may also be required to pay the full course fee again, depending on the circumstances.

Please note that all individuals who have had their G1 licence for one calendar year or longer are eligible to take a road test to upgrade to a G2  licence.  However, we insist that our students finish their 10 hours of driving lessons before we will be willing to rent out one of our cars for a road test.
