Additional Lessons

Occasionally you may need or want additional lessons because of a lack of practice time available from a family vehicle. These lessons focus on the subjects you find challenging. The number of additional lessons necessary varies with your needs.

Refresher before a Ministry of Transport test

You may only want In-car lessons or a refresher before a Ministry of Transport road test. These lessons start with an evaluation of your skills and then proceed from there. Many students finish this training in 6 to 8 hours of In-car training. A few have needed as little as 2 hours and occasionally some students have needed more practice.
