Before signing up…

We suggest going over the course outline at the driving school.

Also, ask the school to provide you with

  • a written copy of its statement of services and its policy statement. These documents explain details like
    • hours and type of training
    • fees
    • refunds, etc.
  • a receipt as proof of payment, and 
  • a permission form (if the school books road test appointments).

Fraud prevention tip

When you're issued a driver's licence, ICBC assigns you a security keyword (for example, your mother’s maiden name).

Don't share your keyword with a driving school or anyone else (except ICBC staff).
