The online component takes approximately 3-5 hours to complete in one sitting and the in-person final exam takes 1 hour. Upon completion of the online training, you will be required to book a slot for an in-person final exam at DRVR Hub’s office.

We recommend that you start the course as soon as possible to be eligible to receive your certificate in a short time frame. However, the course start time is flexible - you can start whenever you are ready.

You have 12 months to complete the course and take the in-person final exam from the day of purchase.

After you have enrolled in a course, or bundle of courses, you will receive a confirmation email with all the important login details. If you don't receive this within a reasonable timeframe (within 1 hour or enrolling), check your junk/spam folder in case the email has bypassed your inbox. You can login via our website in the top right-hand corner.

As a first step, confirm that you have an account on our site and that your email address is spelled correctly. When students cannot access a course or their account we often find it is because they are using the wrong or misspelled email address.

So you've finished one of the courses in a course bundle, and not sure what to do next? At any time during the course, you can click on the "Go To Dashboard" button in the top left-hand corner, or click on the menu icon. Here you will find all the courses you are enrolled in.

Often, this issue is caused by a browser problem on the student's computer. We recommend that all internet browsers be up to date before viewing our online training. If you're not sure what browser you're using you can check out here: https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/ Here are some basic browser troubleshooting steps that are a great starting point if you are having issues playing video/audio. (1) Clear cache and restart the browser. Also check if you’re using the newest version of the browser. (2) Try a different browser – we like Google Chrome. (3) Try an Incognito / Private Window – this will rule out an issue with browser extensions. (4) Restart the device – it's a cliche but it works! If possible, try a different device or a different internet connection. School and/or corporate firewalls occasionally block our video provider.

There is no in-car training required at the moment. You can complete the driver training course online and book your slot for an in-person final exam.
