Frequently asked questions

What is a Class 7 licence?

It is the Northwest Territories learner’s licence. You get it by passing the knowledge test, and it lets you practise driving before the Class 5 road test.

Are the courses online?

No, our theory courses are taught in person, so you can ask the instructor questions and review as a group.

In which language?

English or French, as you prefer. This is especially helpful if you are new to Canada.

What if I fail the test?

We review your mistakes together and prepare you for another attempt.
