Beginner Driver Education
The full Ministry-approved course. Completing BDE reduces your G1 waiting period from 12 months to 8, and qualifies you for insurance discounts with most Ontario insurers.

How the course works
Theory online, driving here
The course has three parts: online theory, home study, and in-car instruction with Igor. The theory hours are done online, in your own time. The driving happens in the Georgina area in a dual-control car, with pickup and drop-off included.
Both packages include advanced intersection technique, road test preparation and Ministry certificate processing. Package 2 adds an extra in-car hour, use of Igor's car for the road test, and the road test booking handled for you.
Ministry certification is what shortens the G1 wait and unlocks the insurance discount, so the paperwork side matters as much as the driving. Igor handles it either way.
What each package includes
Both packages, side by side, with the totals - on the pricing page, where every price on the site lives.
Includes HST plus the $30 Ministry certification fee. Payment plans are available on both packages - call Igor to discuss what works for you.
Questions about BDE
Why does the registry show a Toronto address?
Sprint Driving School's registered office is in Toronto. Your classroom hours are completed online, and your in-car lessons happen here in the Georgina area with Igor. You never need to travel to Toronto. Sprint certifies your completion to the Ministry once your hours are done.
Who issues the Ministry certificate?
Beginner Driver Education theory and Ministry certificates are issued through Sprint Driving School, a government-approved driving school listed on Ontario's official registry, approved to deliver the digital BDE curriculum. In-car instruction is delivered by Igor Isaev, licensed Ontario driving instructor.
Is the road test booking included?
Road test booking is included in BDE Package 2 only. Where a package includes the road test, that covers use of the instructor's dual-control vehicle - DriveTest's own road test fee is paid separately to DriveTest.
