Important Policies
Canadian Academy of Defensive Driving Inc. maintains the following policies to ensure the safety, integrity, and legal compliance of all our programs. Every student and parent/guardian is required to familiarize themselves with and adhere to these policies.
Beginner Driver Education (BDE) Course Completion Policy
All students enrolled in the Beginner Driver Education (BDE) Course must complete the full program within one (1) year of registration. Failure to complete the course within this timeframe will result in disqualification from receiving the MTO insurance certificate under the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Transportation. No extensions will be granted beyond the one-year window except under extraordinary circumstances, approved in writing by CADD management.
Driver's Licence Requirement Policy
All students must possess and present a valid Ontario driver's licence during any of our courses, particularly when participating in practical, in-vehicle driving lessons. The licence must be appropriate for the vehicle class being operated. Failure to present a valid driver's licence upon the instructor's request grants the instructor full authority to terminate the lesson immediately. No refund or rescheduling will be provided for lessons missed due to failure to produce a valid licence.
Sexual Harassment and Verbal Harassment Policy
Canadian Academy of Defensive Driving Inc. maintains a stringent zero-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment and verbal harassment. Any student or their parent/guardian found engaging in harassment, using abusive language, or directing threatening behaviour towards any driving instructor, staff member, or other student will face immediate consequences, including expulsion from the program without refund. CADD reserves the right to pursue legal action against individuals who violate this policy.
Alcohol, Marijuana, and Medication Policy
Operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or any impairing medication is unlawful in Canada and strictly prohibited during all CADD programs. If a driving instructor suspects that a student is under the influence of any substance—whether legal or illegal—the instructor reserves the right to cancel the lesson immediately. In such instances, Canadian Academy of Defensive Driving Inc. retains the right to pursue legal action against the student, and no refund will be provided for any course or lesson cancelled under this policy.
Please be mindful that these policies are implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals engaged in our driving courses and to adhere to legal requirements and regulations. It is incumbent upon every student and parent/guardian to acquaint themselves with and adhere to these policies.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
