Certificate Programs
(Happy Valley-Goose Bay)

A certificate program is a government-regulated program that consists of a 4-day classroom training course followed by in-car training. Students who complete a certificate program are eligible to attempt their road test 8 months from their NL permit issue date (rather than the standard one year), and are eligible for discounts with insurance companies. A certificate is issued once students have successfully completed all components of the training curriculum to a satisfactory level. Note: Customers who have a valid (not expired) license from another country are exempt from a waiting period. You must have a physical copy of your license here with you in NL.

Early is best. We recommend enrolling in a certificate program a no more than a few months after obtaining your Class 5 Learner's License. This is especially important for students who will need in-car training appointments at "high-demand" times (i.e. outside of school hours). These time slots can be booked up very far in advance. If you'd like to get your license on or very near your eligibility date, early enrollment is key! Customers who are more flexible with appointment times do not necessarily need to enroll as early. If you would like more information about tentative training timelines, please email aplusdriversnl@gmail.com or call (709) 763-1701.

The following package is currently available to HV-GB students. 

Standard Package ($925 + tax): 4-day classroom course + 10.5 hours in-car training. Most suitable for customers who have adequate driving experience, regular access to a vehicle, and/or those who are able to practice frequently between lessons. 

***Additional lessons can be added, if needed, once training is underway.
