Classroom Simulator Instruction

Classroom and Simulator Instruction


Before starting in-car Instruction, every new driver must complete the Classroom / S
imulator Program in the Freedom to Drive Blue Quill Driver Training Centre. The only exception is the Basic Package that omits simulators.


After completing the program, the students will have gained a wealth of knowledge and will have developed confidence even before going out onto the streets of Edmonton.


The 15 hour classroom closely follows the Alberta Transportation driver-training curriculum, with an emphasis on the development of lifelong safe driving habits. This highly effective program delivers essential practical information and nurtures a mature and responsible attitude toward driving. The Driving Coach (or Parent) Class is included as part of the 15 hour classroom. The classroom program must be satisfactorily completed as part of the requirement to earn the insurance certificate.


The intensive 3 hour simulator program provides a solid foundation in the basics of driving while introducing proactive and safe driving strategies.  The program also includes the crucial skills of scanning, steering control, blind spot awareness, and more advanced skills such as threat recognition and collision avoidance.


The Classroom / Simulator Program is completed either in 2 weekends or in 6 weekday evenings over 2-3 weeks.
