Class 5 & 7 Lessons
Down Below
Our Lessons and Packages:
We offer part-time New Driver Training for those who want to start or upgrade their car driving skills. This training is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and you must have a valid Class 5 or Class 7 license or learner’s. We offer training in Castlegar, Nelson and Trail. Students are asked to review and adhere to our training standards before they begin training – including having their original Learner’s Licence or Foreign Licence on their person for each lesson
As an ICBC-certified driver training school, we always adhere to their Code of Conduct for Driver Training Licensees. Concerns regarding our adherence to the above code of conduct? Please let us and/or ICBC know.
Training Standards
All students undergoing driver training must be well-rested, alert, and completely sober for their appointment. Students must also adhere to basic hygiene standards and be aware of any
unpleasant or incriminating odours. The student's original Learner’s Licence must be present (no photocopy or digital copy), and we do not allow anyone else in the vehicle during the lesson.
Cancellation / Rescheduling Policy
KDT requires a minimum of two business days' notice to cancel or reschedule any Class 5/7
driver training session. You can text, email or call to give us notice. If enough notice is given, we can cancel or reschedule your lesson to a time that works for you. If proper notice is not given, the lesson and lesson fee will be forfeited.
Multi-Lesson Training Packages:
Prices Vary
All of our packages start you from the beginning and build your skills and confidence up through to the ICBC road test. From your very first adjustment of the driver seat and a trip around the block to working your way into traffic as well as busy city driving up to and including a drive on one of the area highways. We are laying the foundation of strong driving habits that will carry you beyond simply passing the road test to all of the freedom and independence of being a safe driver and travelling where you want when you want!
Different students will need different amounts of training time to accomplish their goals. Our instructors will assess where your skills are at and build in the missing pieces or start from the beginning as needed. As with all our training, if you require additional hours to brush up on certain skills or because you cannot practice, they are always available for purchase.
60 Minute Lesson
60 Minutes / $145.00 + GST
Book Individual Lessons:
Early in Class 5 Driver Training, a 60-minute lesson may be enough if you are still learning lots of new skills; it will give you enough new things to practice with your “co-pilot” before you come back to learn more new skills. If a longer highway driving lesson is wanted, we can book 2 consecutive 60-minute lessons to allow for that. Our instructors will customize each lesson to match your current skill level, help you polish those skills and advance you to the next level in your driving.
Road Test Prep
Warm-Up Drive + Use of KDT Vehicle / $325.00 + GST
Book Road Test Prep:
This package is ONLY available to anyone who has taken at least two 60-minute lessons with us.
As part of this package, we will pick you up and provide a warm-up drive to shake off the road test day jitters. We will also advise you on how best to book your ICBC road test. Get in touch with us for more info. Once you are finished, we will return you back to your home, school or work. Using MTI’s vehicle ensures that there are no surprises on your big day as we guarantee that our vehicle will meet ICBC’s strict requirements for road test vehicles.
Those students who have taken a Training package of 3,5 or 7 hours of Training with us may add this package to their packages at a discounted price.
Graduated Licensing Program
Currently N/A - Coming Soon
KDT will be offering the Graduated Licensing Program soon. We are currently creating and fine-tuning our curriculum which will then need to be approved by ICBC’s Driver Training and Certification branch. Once we receive our initial approval, we will be running a pilot course for ICBC to attend and give us our final approval. Keep an eye out in the near future for registration opportunities!
Seniors Package
Two 60 Minute Lessons / Contact us for more information
From time to time, drivers are contacted by ICBC to come in for a re-test (ERA) of their driving skills. This may occur because of an incident, a medical condition, returning from an extended period of living overseas or just because you are lucky enough to have reached an age where ICBC wants to check up on your skills. If it has been a while since you’ve taken a government road test, you are going to find that their expectations have changed since last time. Not driving as much as you used to and/or feeling uncomfortable while driving would be other reasons to book this training package.
Let our expert instructors bring you up to date on the latest techniques used to drive safely and successfully on today’s busy roads. We recommend that you take this training in our modern training vehicle, but if you would prefer to use your own car – we can discuss that as well. Once our instructor assesses your current skill level, they will work with you to brush up on any skills that you may need help with and ensure your defensive driving skills are up to date.
