Why book with us

What we offer

Choose a benefit to read about

An MTO-approved BDE course and certificate

We are an approved Beginner Driver Education provider, and every package we sell ends in the MTO BDE certificate. There is no separate exam to sit for it and no extra fee to pay.

Our courses include: 30 hours of coursework and 10 hours of in-car instruction. Every one of our packages covers that minimum, and the larger packages add in-car time on top of it.

Road test eligibility after eight months

A G1 holder normally waits twelve months before they can book a G2 road test. Complete any one of our packages and that wait drops to eight months.

It applies to every package we sell, from Bronze upwards. The saving is four months of waiting, and it is a common reason why people take the course rather than practising on their own.

An insurance discount

Most Ontario insurers reduce premiums for a new driver who has achieved BDE certification. Exact savings depend on your insurer and policy.

On a young driver's policy that reduction often returns a large part of the course fee inside the first year, which is why we are asked about it more than anything else on this page.

Pick-up and drop-off for every lesson

We pick you up and drop you off for every in-car lesson, not only on test day, anywhere in London, Komoka and Ilderton. It does not have to be home.

Nobody in the family has to be free to drive a learner across town twice a week, and a student without a licence is never stuck arranging a lift to their own driving lesson.

Silver, Gold and Diamond add pick-up and drop-off on the day of the road test itself.

Lessons seven days a week

We answer the phone and teach seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, weekends included.

In-car lessons are booked around school, shifts and family, and the online coursework is open at any hour, so the coursework never has to compete with a timetable.

Patient and experienced instructors

Our experienced, patient and friendly instructors specialise in helping the students other schools find difficult, including drivers with anxiety, adults who never learned to drive, and seniors returning to the road or preparing for a licence review. With high pass rates and a patient, supportive approach, our qualified instructors help every student build the confidence and skills they need to succeed.

Parallel parking gets specific attention. Ray teaches a set of techniques for it that students find straightforward, and it is one of the things people most often mention afterwards.

Our record since 2019

With years of experience and a 98% pass rate for G2 and G road tests, we’ve been teaching students in London and Middlesex County since 2019, making us a top choice for driver education in North London.

Coursework at your own pace

There are no classroom sessions to attend. The 30 hours of coursework are delivered online through TruBiCars, our Ministry-approved training platform, and you work through them whenever it suits you.

Access opens as soon as your payment clears, and your progress is saved between sessions, so the course can be done in long evenings or in twenty-minute pieces.


How it works

Your route to a full licence

Four stages between signing up and driving on your own.

  1. Online BDE

    Thirty hours of Ministry-approved coursework through TruBiCars, worked through whenever it suits you. Access opens as soon as your payment clears.

  2. In-car training

    Ten to sixteen hours behind the wheel with an instructor, booked around your week. We pick you up and drop you off wherever suits you, for every lesson.

  3. Road test

    Your certificate makes you eligible after eight months instead of twelve. On Silver and above we drive you to the test centre on the day.

  4. Confident driver

    The point of all of it. You leave with the skills to handle a road you have never seen before, and the confidence to drive it on your own.


Packages

MTO certification with every package

Our MTO approved courses cover 30 hours of online coursework and 10 hours of in-car instruction, awarding the MTO BDE certificate. What changes between them is extra in-car time and what happens on the day of your road test. We collect and drop off for every lesson in London, Komoka, Ilderton.

Choosing a package

Bronze is the full certification course with 10 hours of in-car instruction. Choose Silver or Gold to be collected and driven to the test centre on the day of your road test. Choose Diamond if you have never sat behind the wheel, or if nerves rather than skill are the obstacle. It carries the most in-car time of any package, which is what builds real confidence behind the wheel before the test.

Interest-free payment plans are available. If none of this settles it, call 226-700-8000 and describe your situation. We will tell you honestly how much in-car time you need to be ready.


Our instructors

Instructors for nervous and first-time drivers

North London Driving School has run since 2019, after Ray’s own students encouraged him to open it. Our school is open to all ages, and we are experienced in teaching students with anxiety, students with zero experience, and seniors. Every lesson is built around one thing: leaving you with the skills and the confidence to drive on your own.

I am an expert in teaching students with anxiety, zero experience, and seniors.

Ray was a very nice and helpful! I got my g2 first attempt! If you’re looking for a driving school in London then I highly suggest choosing Ray at North London Driving school.

Jeff Thompson · GoogleRead this review on Google

I passed my G test on my first attempt. All credit goes to Ray. His style of teaching is relaxed and informative. He makes sure you understand the fundamentals of driving instead of just passing the road test. I would also recommend the full day trip with him for a better driving career. 10/10.

Anmol Kumarr · GoogleRead this review on Google

Ray is hands down the best driving instructor in London. He was incredibly patient through all my mistakes and extremely flexible. He’s also genuinely kind and has a cheerful demeanor, which personally made sessions relaxing and engaging. I’d highly recommend him to anyone preparing for their test.

Mr. Ray is extremely patient, professional, and encouraging, which made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He explains everything clearly and takes the time to ensure you fully understand both the practical skills and the rules of the road. I would highly recommend Mr. Ray and North London Driving School to anyone looking for quality instruction and a supportive learning environment.
