Our next wave of Ottawa in-car instruction begins January 2027, with driving times coordinated around the Nepean High School timetable.
Starting in winter also gives new drivers valuable supervised experience with snow, reduced traction and changing road conditions.
Turning 16 soon?
Students may begin eLearning up to 60 days before their 16th birthday, making it possible to get a head start before becoming eligible for their G1.
