Basic Driving Instructor (BDIC)

Are you considering becoming a driving instructor? You are required to carry a valid Ontario G licence and you must also have a driving instructor’s licence card in the vehicle while teaching a student.

Most importantly, you must complete an MTO-approved instructor course. That’s where we come in! Our Basic Driving Instructor Course (also known as BDIC) is an MTO-approved program, which will allow you to obtain your Ontario Driving Instructor Licence to teach in-vehicle only.

Our program is 17 days in length, with a combination of classroom and in-vehicle training. We also use our driving simulators during the classroom training to bridge theoretical and practical training. The program discusses Adult Learning Principles, Instructional Techniques, giving and receiving feedback, and lesson planning.

Throughout the program, our BDIC students will learn about adult learning principles and instructional techniques – particularly those used in the vehicle. The aspiring instructors will also learn about giving and receiving feedback, as well as creating relevant lesson plans for Beginner Driver Education (BDE) students.

Basic Classroom Instructor (BCIC)

Have your Beginner Driving Instructor licence and want to teach new drivers in-class, too? You can continue to grow your career as a certified driving instructor with our exceptional Basic Classroom Instructor Course (BCIC). Our award-winning program certifies you to reach the next level of driving instructor certification for Class G drivers.

The BCIC course is MTO-approved and will provide you with all the training necessary to obtain the classroom instructor licence in Ontario. Before you are eligible to take the classroom instructor course, you must meet the same requirements as the BDIC course, but you must also have an existing in-vehicle instructor licence.

Our classroom instructor course (BCIC) is 13 days in length. During this program we discuss instructional techniques, focusing on a classroom setting, learning technologies, and advance lesson planning.
