Frequently asked questions
- How do I find a driving school near me in Ontario?
- Pick your city from the list below to see government-approved driving schools serving that area, each shown with its phone number, address, and the courses it offers. Many new drivers also check a nearby city, since a school one community over may have an earlier class start date.
- What does a government-approved driving school mean in Ontario?
- Government-approved driving schools are licensed by the Ministry of Transportation and deliver the MTO-approved Beginner Driver Education course. Completing that course can lower your insurance premium and let you take your G1 exit road test sooner. Every school in this directory appears on the official Ministry list of approved providers.
- Does taking a driving course let me get my licence faster?
- Yes. New drivers who finish an MTO-approved Beginner Driver Education course at a government-approved school can take the G1 exit road test after eight months instead of twelve, and many insurers give a discount for the certificate. Confirm the current rules and any insurer discount before you enroll.
