If you have a Class 7 licence, you’re not eligible for a higher class of driver’s licence unless you’ve completed one of the following programs from an SGI-certified driver instructor:
- high school driver education program; or
- at least six hours in-class and six hours in-car instruction.
When hiring a driving instructor, ask to see their instructor certification card to ensure it's valid.You can find a list of SGI-certified instructors at sgi.sk.ca/drivereducator.
The driver instructor will either add your training record to your electronic SGI customer file or issue a Driver Education Certificate. If there isn't a training record on your SGI customer file, you must present the Driver Education Certificate to the driver examiner at the time of your Class 5 road test(s).
If you’re enrolled in the High School Driver Education Program, you’ll need to set up a free MySGI account to write your exam online. Any SGI motor licence issuer can set you up with an account. You’ll need to present your ID to complete this transaction.Be sure to attend the parent information night sponsored by your high school educator.
If you're 15 years of age and registered in a certified High School Driver Education Program but have been placed on a waiting list, you're still eligible to write the Class 7 licence exam. In order to write the exam you must present a copy of the Signature/Guarantor Form confirming you are enrolled or intend to be enrolled in a driver education program. The Signature/Guarantor Form is available either at your high school or on the SGI website.
