The supervisory program


Valley Driving School

The Supervisory Program

One of the difficulties so often facing the Learner Driver is that of finding a suitable licensed driver with which to accompany them, as the licensed driver, in their pusuit of accumulating the minimum 120 hours of practice before being able to sit for their practical driving test.

In addressing this dilemma, the Valley Driving School offers a suitable licensed driver to act as the designated supervisor. The supervisor has the necessary Working With Children check, just like the instructor. The supervisor works in a voluntary capacity. An important distinction to make is that the primary role of the supervisor is to supervise the Learner Driver ... not instruct – the latter is the jurisdiction of the instructor. However, this does not preclude the supervisor from offering some basic guidance.

The Valley Driving School expects that any Learner Driver wishing to partake in this program meets the following requirements:
è Has already accumulated at least 35 hours of logged driving experience ... and that this driving experience had been performed satisfactorily;
è Have at least one driving assessment session prior to any supervised driving[1];
è Complete a consent form (if applicable);
è Complete (if already haven't) a Personal Record form; and
è Be compliant with all instructions from the supervisor.
Note that the supervisor retains the perogative to summarily discontinue their association with a Learner Driver as they see fit.

The cost of supervised driving is $30 per hour. The cost of the assessment session (where applicable) is $50: it will take about 30 minutes. In both cases, payment is to be made immediately before the driving session. Payment may should be in the form of cash.
