FAQ

Because needs vary from one person to another, we suggest you contact Star Driving School to obtain pricing.
Please note: If you see prices posted on the Internet by certain competitors, we suggest that you check and ask questions to make sure that the price announced corresponds to the training hours you need and to find out what is and isn’t included in the contract.
At Star, our prices are competitive and our contracts are not misleading.

Usually, a contract with Star Driving School lasts 18 months. If you have not completed your driving course at the end of the contract, the school can extend the contract under certain conditions. The duration of the contract will be written on the contract that you signed.

You can start the theory lessons a few weeks before your turn 16. Once you are 16, with your Module 5 test successfully completed and your certificate in hand, you can go to the SAAQ to obtain your learner’s licence.

The mandatory program is spread through 13 months. You may pass your first knowledge test at your driving school, at Module 5,  minimum  28 days after starting the Road Safety Education Program. You will be able to pass your second knowledge test at the SAAQ once you had your learner’s licence for at least 10 months. You can then pass your road test at the SAAQ once you have completed your 15 in-car sessions, passed your knowledge test and have had your learner’s licence for at least 12 months.

If there is little time left before your learner’s licence expires, quickly contact Star Driving School to know the date on which you can start your courses. Depending on the number of months left before your licence expires, the school personnel will work hard to provide you with a course schedule that will correspond to your needs.

Star Driving School offer flexible payment terms, and also accept debit cards and credit cards. Contact us by phone or email to learn about the payment plan tailored to your needs

Certainly! If you started your courses in another driving school and, whatever the reason, you want to continue at Star Driving School, you can ask the other school for a certificate indicating the courses already completed and, subsequently, register at Star Driving School with the certificate. We will take into account the certificate and the courses that you have already completed elsewhere.

If you obtained your learner’s licence before January 2010, you can register for in-car sessions only. Contact us to register.  If your learner’s licence is expired, you should renew it before you register for a driving course.

To learn about the theory class schedule, you must contact the school. Schedules are flexible. New classes begin each week.

Many factors can explain numerous failures of the SAAQ test:

1. Stress: Based on the feedback we get from students, stress is often an important factor that explains failing the test. To overcome stress, we suggest that you practice driving with a number of people and in a variety of locations.
2. Lack of practice: The Road Safety Education Program consists of 15 in-car sessions of 55 minutes each, and this is usually sufficient for the majority of people, provided they are able to practice between each lesson. It is important to know that a number of students need additional classes to consolidate specific knowledge (e.g.: parking). The SAAQ has established 15 x 55 minutes as a reference to obtain a driving certificate, but it is very common that a student may need 20 or even 30 hours of practice.
