Compare Parkway's BDE courses, private driving lessons, and G2/G road test packages in one clear place.
Start with your situation: new G1 driver, lessons only, or lessons with road test vehicle support.
Prices range from $120 to $890 + HST. DriveTest/government fees are separate unless Parkway confirms otherwise.
Choose based on whether you need future G2 vehicle support and extra practice.
Best for: New G1 students who need BDE and already have a future test vehicle option.
Best for: New drivers who want BDE and future G2 test-day vehicle support handled together.
Best for: Nervous beginners, parents wanting stronger preparation, or students who want fewer moving pieces.
Choose this when you need training, confidence, or correction but do not need Parkway's vehicle for a road test.
Best for: Mostly ready drivers who need one or two specific corrections.
Best for: Nervous drivers, hesitant drivers, or students who need more than one quick fix.
Best for: Students who need broader skill development, more structure, or stronger foundations.
Choose this when you need training and Parkway's instructor vehicle for test day. Vehicle support is subject to schedule confirmation.
Best for: Confident drivers who are close to ready and need final checking.
Best for: Drivers close to ready but still making test-risk mistakes.
Best for: Nervous drivers, failed-before students, or students with multiple weak areas.
Best for: Prepared drivers who are confident, consistent, and only need a suitable test-day vehicle.
The right package depends on confidence, driving consistency, test timing, and whether you need a vehicle on test day.
If 2 hours is enough, do not buy 8. If Core is enough, do not buy Complete.
If you are still nervous, missing observations, or struggling with parking, training is safer than vehicle-only support.
The quiz routes beginners, nervous drivers, test-ready students, and car-only students to the right next step.
