Flexible BDE

Don't wait for your schedule to free up.

Your work shouldn't be the reason you still don't have a licence. Complete your classroom hours online when you have time, and tell us your availability for the in-car lessons. We'll work with what you give us.

Learn When You Have Time

Your classroom hours happen on your laptop.

Ontario allows an approved BDE provider to deliver the 20 hours of classroom instruction digitally, and that's how we run ours. There's no room you have to sit in at a fixed hour every evening for two weeks.

Which means the learning fits wherever your week has gaps. Before a shift. After the kids are asleep. On a Sunday afternoon. Between college classes. You work through it at your own pace, following the course's own progress requirements.

For a lot of our students this is the part that made the course possible at all. They'd looked at driving school before, seen a fixed classroom timetable, and quietly given up on it.

Before you start the online theory

Our online theory runs on GoGo Driving's MTO-approved online BDE course. Here's what you need and where to get help.

What you need

  • A laptop or desktop computer (2.4 GHz or faster, at least 4 GB of RAM) with speakers or headphones
  • Windows 7 or newer, or Mac OS X 10 or newer
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Microsoft Edge, with cookies turned on
  • Internet speed of at least 4 Mbps (20 Mbps recommended)

New to the course? Read the student guide or the troubleshooting page.

Study alongside the course with the official MTO Driver's Handbook and the Highway Traffic Act.

How the online hours work

  • Up to 5 hours of online theory a day, with breaks.
  • All 30 hours of the online course (theory plus home study) must be done before your first in-car lesson.
  • At up to 5 hours a day, the 30 online hours take at least 6 days. In-car is up to 2 hours a day, so the 10 in-car hours take at least 5 days.
  • Your login is only for you. Don't share it, and don't let anyone else do your lessons, tests or exams.

Getting help

In-Car Lessons

We ask your availability before we book anything.

Most schools hand you a time slot. We do it the other way round: you tell us the days and hours that work, and we look for lessons that fit inside them.

9-5

Working nine to five

We'll look at evening slots and whatever else is open that week. Weekends come up too, depending on the calendar.

3-11

Working afternoons and nights

Mornings are the quietest part of our schedule, so this one is usually easier to solve than people expect.

S

Classes during the day

Send us your timetable and we'll build around it, including PA days, March break and the summer.

↻

Shifts that rotate

Message us your availability each time it changes. Nurses, PSWs and factory shift workers do this with us constantly.

To be straight with you: we can't promise any slot you want. Lesson times depend on instructor availability and on Ontario's BDE rules. What we can promise is that we'll ask first and genuinely try to make your schedule work.

What Ontario Requires

The rules are more flexible than people think.

This is worth knowing before you enrol anywhere, not just with us. An MTO-approved BDE course has four parts.

20 hrs

Classroom instruction

Delivered digitally or in person. Ours is digital, which is what makes the scheduling work.

10 hrs

In-vehicle training

One-on-one, in a dual-brake car. Capped at two hours in any single day.

10 hrs

Flexible instruction time

That's the Ministry's own term. It covers homelinks, extra digital instruction and self-study, done on your own time.

1 year

To finish your in-car hours

Measured from the day your classroom instruction starts. A busy month doesn't cost you the course.

Requirements can change. You can confirm the current rules yourself on Ontario's government-approved driving schools page, which is also where you can verify that RightSite is MTO-approved.

Perfect For Busy People

You don't need a free schedule. You need a plan.

FAQ

Scheduling questions, answered.

Can I complete the online portion of the BDE course from home? +

Yes. Ontario allows the 20 hours of classroom instruction to be delivered digitally, and that is how we run it. You complete it from your own laptop or computer, at home or anywhere else, following the course requirements.

Do I have to do the online course at a specific time? +

No fixed class time. The digital portion is designed so you can work through it when you are available, subject to the course\u2019s own learning and progress rules.

I work Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. Can I still take your BDE course? +

Yes, and a lot of our students are in exactly that position. The online learning happens around your work hours, and for in-car lessons we look at evenings and whatever else is open. Tell us your availability and we will work with it.

I work 3 PM to 11 PM. Can I take driving lessons? +

Yes. Give us your available days and times before booking and we will look at morning slots, which tend to be the quietest part of our calendar.

Do I choose my own in-car lesson times? +

We ask for your availability before scheduling anything, then work with you to find open lesson times that fit. We cannot guarantee a specific slot, because it depends on instructor availability, but you are never handed a schedule without being asked first.

What if my work schedule changes every week? +

That is fine, and it is common. Send us your availability as it changes and we will look at what is open. Rotating shifts are not a problem here.

Can I take lessons on weekends? +

Weekend slots come up depending on the schedule. Tell us your preferred days and times and we will check what is available.

Do I have to finish the whole BDE course in a few weeks? +

No. Ontario requires your in-vehicle training to be completed within one year of starting your classroom instruction, which gives you real room to spread it out. There is also a daily limit of two hours of in-car training, and no more than one in-car hour on a day you have already done five hours of classroom work.

How flexible is RightSite Driving School, really? +

We do not use a one-size-fits-all schedule. We ask about your availability and build your in-car training around your commitments, within instructor availability and Ontario\u2019s BDE rules. That is the honest version: we work with what you give us, we do not promise slots we cannot fill.

Can I take the BDE course if I have a full-time job? +

Yes. The flexible structure exists precisely for people who work, study, or have other responsibilities. Full-time workers, shift workers, students and parents make up most of our BDE intake.

Tell us your schedule and let's find a plan.

The full BDE course is $649 + HST and includes all 40 hours. Payment plans are available. Send us your availability and we'll go from there.
