- Driver Education Certificate Requirements
- Student Code of Conduct
- Graduated Driver Licensing
- Class 5 Licensing Information
- Risks for Novice Drivers (Family Responsibilities)
- Understanding Driver Development (In-Car Coaching)
You will also receive some helpful resources to assist you teach your child to drive, including a Novice Driver Sign, the Home-based Practice Log and the Co-Pilot’s Manual.
You will have the opportunity to meet the in-car instructor who will take your child on the road for behind-the-wheel training.
