Driver Training Course

Taking a driver training course will help with employment as many employers require a driver's license.  Not only will this allow a participant to commute to jobs, but provide freedom with responsibility. 

Driver training can reduce collisions, lower operational costs, and save lives. A person living in Northern Canada is much more likely to be killed in a motor vehicle crash than a resident of southern Canada. This can be the result of various types of incidents, including motor vehicle collisions.

Driver Training courses are split into sections as all 3 Territories have different requirements with the class of license and prohibitions.
