Parkway helps new G1 drivers complete Beginner Driver Education with online theory, in-car lessons, HomeLink practice, and certification after successful completion.
Core is course-only. Plus adds G2 test vehicle support. Complete adds the test vehicle and 2 extra focused practice hours.
Already have experience and only need private lessons? Start with private driving lessons instead.
All three include BDE. The difference is whether you want Parkway's vehicle for the future G2 test and whether you want extra focused practice.
Important: BDE Plus and BDE Complete include Parkway vehicle support for one future G2 road test, but the test date, time, DriveTest location, instructor availability, and vehicle availability still need to be confirmed before test-day support is scheduled.
DriveTest or government booking fees are separate unless Parkway confirms otherwise.
All Parkway BDE options include the required course structure. The package choice mostly depends on future G2 test support.
| Option | Best For | G2 Test Car | Extra Practice | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BDE Core | Students who only need BDE and have their own future test vehicle option. | No | No extra hours beyond BDE | $690 + HST |
| BDE Plus | Students who want BDE plus Parkway vehicle support for one future G2 test. | Yes | No extra hours beyond BDE | $790 + HST |
| BDE Complete | Students who want BDE, test vehicle support, and more practice before test day. | Yes | 2 extra focused hours | $890 + HST |
The best package is the one that matches the student's real situation. Do not overbuy. Do not underprepare.
Choose Core if your family already has a suitable vehicle option for the future G2 road test.
Choose Plus if you want to avoid figuring out the test-day car separately later.
Choose Complete if the student is brand new, nervous, or would benefit from more test-focused practice.
Students who successfully complete an MTO-approved BDE course may be eligible to take the G2 road test after 8 months instead of 12 months once completion is properly entered. Insurance discounts may also depend on your insurance provider.
Parkway cannot guarantee road test dates, licensing eligibility, or insurance discounts. Confirm licensing details with DriveTest/Ontario and insurance details with your insurer.
Pick Core, Plus, or Complete based on whether you need future G2 test vehicle support and extra practice.
Complete online theory, HomeLink practice, and in-car training with calm, structured instruction.
After successful completion, Parkway handles certification processing and helps you understand the next step.
If the student is brand new and wants a structured foundation, BDE usually makes more sense. If the student already has experience and only needs targeted correction, private lessons may be a cleaner fit.
