PROGRAM NEWS

The Ministry of Transportation moved to an electronic on-line system Sept. 1, 2008.  All students successfully completing the course will be certified with the MTO.  Students will no longer receive paper Certificates.  Students requiring proof of course completion for possible insurance discounts must attend at a Licence Issuing Office and request a “Driver Licence History/Student Profile”.  The fee for this service is $12.00.  For more information or to read about upcoming changes, visit www.mto.gov.on.ca
