Driver training and lessons
Questions about the training
Le cours de conduite complet chez Vision Plus est à 1 130 $ + taxes (forfait Régulier) ou 1 326 $ + taxes (Programme Vision+). Promo d’août : le forfait Régulier est à 899 $ + taxes dans toutes nos succursales, jusqu’au 31 août 2026. À cela s’ajoutent les frais de la SAAQ : 88,35 $ pour le permis d’apprenti conducteur (valide 18 mois, photos incluses), 13,50 $ pour l’examen théorique et 33,75 $ pour l’examen pratique. Le coût total pour obtenir votre permis se situe donc entre environ 1 265 $ et 1 460 $ selon le forfait choisi — ou environ 1 035 $ avec la promo d’août. (SAAQ fees current as of July 2026 — confirm the latest rates on the SAAQ website.)
The program spans a minimum of 13 months, as required by the SAAQ. Phase 1 (theory) lasts at least 28 days, followed by Phases 2 through 4, which combine theory and road sessions. The SAAQ theory exam can be taken 10 months after obtaining the learner's permit, and the road test 2 months later. Most of our students complete the process in 13 to 18 months.
You can register at the driving school and start theory classes before turning 16. However, you must be 16 years old when you go to the SAAQ to obtain your learner's permit. We recommend registering about one month before your 16th birthday to get a head start.
The learner’s permit allows you to drive accompanied by someone who has held their licence for at least 2 years. It is valid for 18 months. After passing the SAAQ road test, you receive the probationary licence, which allows you to drive alone, with zero alcohol tolerance and a maximum of 4 demerit points. After the 24-month probationary period, you receive your regular driver’s licence.
Yes. Vision Plus Driving School holds a SAAQ recognition certificate for its Laval – Fabreville, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Jérôme and Mascouche schools. Recognition for our new Laval – Duvernay school is in progress. Our program complies with the Road Safety Education Program (PESR) and allows you to obtain your Class 5 licence.

SAAQ Exam
Questions about the exam

You can schedule your practical exam directly through the SAAQclic portal. You must have completed your entire training program (theory and practical), held your learner’s permit for at least 12 months, and passed the SAAQ theory exam. Our instructors will guide you through these steps.
If you fail the exam, you can retake it by scheduling a new appointment on SAAQclic. A retake fee applies (approximately $30). We also offer refresher courses starting at $60 + tax per session to help you address the areas where you struggled during the exam.

Questions about registration
