Driver Improvement & Reinstatement Courses
These courses are designed to help drivers improve their skills, reduce demerit points, and meet legal requirements for license reinstatement.
They offer valuable education on safe driving practices, alcohol and drug awareness, and addiction counseling to ensure drivers are fit to return to the road.
These courses (except for Defensive Driving) require the submission of a current Drivers Abstract from Motor Registration.
Point Reduction Course
$350 (HST Included) / Day
The Point Reduction Course can assist you to get back on the road and remove up to four points from your driving record. If you have had an inconsistent driving record, we can provide the necessary tools to get you back on the road.
The points will be removed; however, the convictions for any points will remain on your driver’s abstract for five years. Upon completion of this course, we will email confirmation of your attendance to Motor Vehicle Registration to update your driver’s record. This course can be taken once in every five years.
IF YOUR LICENCE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF POINTS YOU NEED TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBLE DRIVERS COURSE, NOT THE POINT REDUCTION COURSE
