In-Class Training

In-Class Training

The classroom instruction in our Cobourg training location uses a combination of audio/visual as well as interactive question and answer techniques. There are several class exercises to allow students the opportunity to learn information in a more tactile way. We do more than just focus on driving know-how and road safety. Our courses also delve into overviews of how vehicles work and minor maintenance issues that any driver should be able to do.

Private In-Car Lessons

Private In-Car Lessons

All students are given behind the wheel road experience driving in the Cobourg and surrounding areas. This is done exclusively with one-on-one sessions where only the driving instructor and the student driver are in the vehicle. This standard practice allows the instructor to totally focus on the needs of one student driver at a time and to adapt accordingly. This results in students being able to concentrate on perfecting only those driving skills that they have not mastered yet, thus saving time, and improving training quality.

Pre-Test Driving Instruction

Pre-Test Driving Instruction

All of our students, as part of their driver training, will undergo two to three informal road tests with their instructor prior to taking their MTO road test. This is just one of the extras that we perform to help our students achieve the exceptionally high "first attempt" class G driving test pass rates that we are so proud of.
