Graduated Licensing Program

The Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) is a practical curriculum grounded in sound educational practices. The GLP is designed to integrate in-home, in-class and in-car learning in a gradual process of knowledge, skill and attitude.

The GLP is an Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) approved course which includes 18 hours of in-class training and 14 hours of on-road training. Students who successfully complete the course earn a Declaration of Completion that earns them two credits for high school and reduces the waiting time for a Class 5 license by six months.

Throughout this program students will learn the following seven goals as required by the ICBC:

1. Risk Avoidance
2. Driver Psychology
3. Social Responsibilities
4. Legal Responsibilities
5. Safe Driving
6. Vehicle Performance
7. Motor Skills

• 80 percent (20 out of 25) of the Exit Competencies must be satisfactorily completed before a student can be issued a Declaration of Completion.
