New drivers of passenger vehicles learn to drive with six important conditions with a G1 license. A new driver must hold a G1 license for a minimum of 12 months before attempting the G1 road test. This time can be reduced to eight months if you successfully complete a Ministry-approved Beginner Driver Education Course.
Please note: Ministry of Transportation no longer issues paper certificates. WDA graduates must request for a copy of the driver's license history (DLH) from any ServiceOntario office. The DLH provides proof of successful completion and graduation from our beginner driver education (BDE) course and BDE graduates with a DLH maybe eligible for an insurance discount, and for a 4-month time reduction at the G1 level road test.

I had a great experience driving with Abdullah. He gave great tips and advice for every aspect of safe driving. I felt more than prepared for the road test and feel more confident overall as a new driver! Would recommend 10/10.

My driving instructor was Ray. He was very kind and was able to help me improve my driving skills significantly during our sessions. He is very good with small details (in terms of driving) and he is able to communicate with his student well!

I recommend WDA for everyone, with only 10 hours of experience I was able to pass my road test. I had Abby as my instructor, and we got the job done. He was practical, patient, and never complicated anything. Truly the best instructor you could have!

I’m glad that I got to finished my G2 driving test. Without the help of my driving instructor Ray I don’t think I would be able to pass my test. Ray has helped me a lot when it came to driving, he taught me a a lot and now that I have improved I can now be a better and a safer driver. Ray is a very nice person, super chill, and cares a lot about you when it comes to driving. I am very happy he was my driving instructor, so thank you so much ray, I really appreciate it.

My instructor, Ray, was very accommodating to lesson scheduling and was very calm and concise when giving instructions in the vehicle. It was very convenient that he could pick me up and drop me off at my house as well. Overall, Ray is a nice guy and could answer pretty much any question I threw at him!

We were very thankful to be able to get some driving instruction fit in before the final road test, and we had an exceptional experience with Ray! He was friendly, flexible, had great communication, and was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in teaching everything needed to pass. We would highly recommend Ray to anyone!

I went from knowing absolutely nothing to licensed, and couldn’t recommend WDA more. I took the BDE. It is worth every penny! 5/5 would recommend if you’re shopping for schools or just straight up driving lessons. ^My instructor Basil was the best!

Western Driving Acadamy has always been the best. I have received my first training with them on 1999 for G2 and then for G. Today, as i have just returned from abroad and i had to do the test again. I have seeked their help and as usual they were the best. Got it from first time. They are so professional, punctual and they pay attention to every details making definetely, a better driver. Great work!

I’ve never taken a course from them, but , it’s not a good sign!
A westerndriving instructor cut me off in the lane I was in (didn’t bother to use his indicators to merge into my lane), cut off oncoming traffic trying to make a left onto Springbank from Wonderland and almost hit a cyclist in the process. License plate Skils4life lol the irony
I’m assuming he was an instructor as there was no other passengers in the car. 🤷‍♀️
