πŸŽ“ What is BDE?
BDE stands for Beginner Driver Education β€” a Ministry of Transportation-approved program that includes 30 hours of online theory and 10 hours of in-car training. Completing a BDE course through a licensed school like Fast Pass Driving Academy can help you get your G2 license faster and save you any where from 5-25% on your insurance.
⏳ How long do I have to finish my lessons and course?
You'll have 12 months from the date of purchase to complete all in-car lessons and the online BDE course. This policy follows Ministry of Transportation regulations, which require students to finish their Beginner Driver Education program within one year. Unfortunately, we’re unable to extend access to the BDE course or any unused lessons beyond this timeframe. We recommend booking your lessons early to get the most value from your driver's education experience!
πŸ“‹ What's included in the road test package?
Our road test package includes use of our car, a 30-minute refresher before the test, and pick-up and drop-off. No need to worry about logistics β€” just focus on the road.
πŸ”„ Can I reschedule a lesson?
Absolutely β€” flexibility is part of what makes Fast Pass Driving Academy great. You're free to reschedule lessons as needed, as long as it's done at least 24 hours in advance. For cancellations made within 24 hours, we require a valid doctor’s note to support the change. This helps us protect our instructors' time and maintain fairness for everyone. Doctor's notes must be submitted within 30 days of the original lesson date. For road tests, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule. Because road tests take up a significant part of our instructors’ day, we aren’t able to accommodate last-minute changes made within 48 hours. We truly appreciate your cooperation in helping us deliver the best experience possible for all students.
🧭 I'm outside your regular service area β€” can I still get home pick-up?
Maybe! While we primarily serve North York and Scarborough, we're always looking to accommodate where possible. If you're outside our core area, send us your address β€” we'll see if we can make it work. Have a few friends nearby also interested in joining Fast Pass? Let us know β€” we may be able to schedule a dedicated day in your area for everyone's convenience.
πŸ’³ What is your refund policy?
We get it β€” sometimes plans change. If you haven't started your online course or in-car lessons, you may qualify for a refund within 30 days of purchase. If lessons have already begun, partial refunds may still apply based on what's been used. All refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 business days.

⏱ How long does it take to get my license?
With Fast Pass Driving Academy, you can be road-test ready in as little as 4 weeks! That includes completing your online course and in-car lessons efficiently β€” all while fitting in lessons around your schedule. Of course, how fast you finish depends on your availability, how often you book lessons, and when you schedule your road test. But if you're committed, we'll help you get fully licensed FAST!
πŸŒ™ Do you offer evening or weekend lessons?
Yes! We understand life is busy β€” that's why we offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends. We work around your schedule.

πŸ“š Do I have to attend in-person classes for theory portion of my BDE package?
