Class 5 Driving Lessons

Class 5 is the full, unrestricted British Columbia driver's licence.

Starting October 19, 2026, eligible Class 7N drivers will no longer need to take a second road test to move to Class 5. Instead, ICBC will use a Driving Record Assessment. Class 5 road tests will still apply in some licensing situations, including certain newcomers and foreign licence holders.

Every lesson is one-on-one in an automatic, fully insured dual-control vehicle, with an ICBC-licensed instructor beside you. We start by finding out how you actually drive, then spend the remaining time on the habits that cost drivers points and cause collisions: lane changes without a proper shoulder check, rolling stops, poor speed control in school and playground zones, and hesitant left turns across traffic.

Lessons are taught in English or Portuguese. We practise on the kinds of roads and traffic conditions you meet day to day, and around the area of your ICBC office if you have a road test booked.
