Company discounts available, call for details and pricing.

*Upgrades from Class B to Class A must take a full Class A course.

Our course is offered for up to six (6) weeks. We do not impose a time constraint, therefore, we will set skills tests when the student has mastered the necessary skills required. Courses can last from one (1) week to six (6) weeks.

For a travel fee, Diamond D Line will meet you at your location. We are flexible with your work schedule and offer training outside of business hours and even on weekends.

The theoretical part of the course is offered both online and face-to-face. The in-person course will have additional fees, but it may be what you need to succeed! The online course platform (Canvas) is easily navigable and is a world-renowned learning management system used by many major universities. A minimum score of 80% is required to pass the course and proceed to BTW training.

*We offer discounts for classes of several students.

Training behind the wheel (BTW) is defined as training at the range and on public roads. This training requires both forward/driving procedures and various reversing maneuvers including straight backing, off-set backing, alley docking, and parallel parking. There is also a pre-trip inspection that must be mastered before the test. This is the most strenuous part of the course and requires dedication on the part of the student. The language required for the Department of Transport skills test is unique and must be studied intensively.
