What is BDE?

The Beginner Driver Education (BDE) program is an MTO-approved driver training course designed for new drivers in Ontario. It combines classroom instruction with practical in-car training to give you a comprehensive foundation in safe driving.

Completing a BDE course is not mandatory to get your license, but it provides significant advantages that make it well worth the investment, including insurance savings that pay for the course many times over.

Our BDE program is taught by a certified, experienced instructor who will guide you through every aspect of safe driving, from theory to real-world practice.
