What is BDE?

Beginner Driver Education — what it includes and why it matters.

BDE (Beginner Driver Education) is an Ontario MTO-approved driving course that includes in-class instruction, in-car driving lessons, and related learning components. It must be delivered by an MTO-approved driving school.

Completing an approved BDE course allows eligible G1 licence holders to take the G2 road test after 8 months instead of the standard 12-month waiting period. This makes BDE a significant milestone for many Ontario learners.

BDE content covers traffic laws, road safety, hazard awareness, and practical driving skills required for the Ontario G2 test.
