Q: If I’ve already passed the learner’s exam, why should I take the New Driver Program?
A: Passing the learner’s written exam confirms that you understand the rules of the road, but it does not prepare you for the real-world skills and decision-making required to drive safely and confidently.
The New Driver Program is designed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world driving. Through structured classroom instruction and professional in-vehicle training, participants learn how to:
Apply road rules in real traffic situations
Recognize hazards and manage risk

Build confidence in complex driving environments
Drive safely in seasonal and northern conditions
- Understand basic vehicle maintenance and driver responsibility
- Learn how insurance works and what coverage means as a driver
For parents, the program ensures learners are trained in properly equipped, fully insured vehicles with certified instructors who follow a proven training framework.
For adult learners, it provides a supportive, confidence-building environment that helps reduce stress and accelerates skill development.
