You may start your theory lectures a few weeks before you turn 16. Once you turn 16 and have completed the first 4 theory modules of the new mandatory program you may take the theory test at the school where you enroll. This will entitle you to go to the SAAQ, pass an eye examination, pay the required fees and obtain your Learner’s Licence.
The mandatory program is spread through 13 months.
You may pass your first theory exam (On module 5 at the Driving School) once you have completed the first 4 modules (Minimum of1 month after starting your theory lectures.).
10 months after getting your Learner’s Licence, if you have completed your 12 theory modules you may make an appointment with the SAAQ and pass your second theory test at the SAAQ.
12 months after getting your Learner’s Licence, after completing your mandatory 15 in-car sessions you may pass your behind- the- wheel test if you already passed your theory test successfully.

Many factors may explain failing the SAAQ test.
- Stress
Based on the feedback we’re getting from students, stress is often an important contributing factor in failing the SAAQ test. To overcome the stress factor we highly recommend practicing driving with many different persons in a variety of locations.
- Practicing too little
Although standard driving courses consist of fifteen 55 minute in-car sessions, it has been proven repeatedly that new drivers must practice a number of hours between lessons given by the driving school. The objectives here are to implement learnt concepts in real situations and also to multiply the number of conditions requiring the new driver to cope and adjust.
- Insufficient training
The standard driving course consisting of fifteen 55 minute in-car sessions may be adequate for a majority of people as long as they practice a lot between in-car sessions. You should know that a great number of students need extra lessons to strengthen some of their weak points (Parallel Parking). Although the Government has determined that an attestation cannot be given before completing a 15 X 55 standard course, a number of individuals need 20 or even 30 in-car sessions to feel safe.
