Program overview

Driver Z is driver education for the next generation.

Using a mix of online and in-car learning, Driver Z gives students the tools, knowledge and confidence to improve their driving ability, reduce risk, and prevent collisions.

Online

In addition to in-car training, students are required to access Driver Z online – either on a smartphone or computer – to log in, complete course work and track their progress. The site hosts interactive eLearning activities, instructional videos and an online practice log.

What else is new and exciting? The program has been gamified! Driver Z is organized on a map that spans six zones. Complete eLessons, attend virtual classes and practice with a supervising driver to progress through the map and earn points and stars as you go. As you rack up the points, you unlock progress badges.

How do I register?

If you’re at least 15 ½ years old, you can register for Driver Z.

But first, you need to be set up as a customer. You’ll also need to go to an Autopac agent or MPI Service Centre and pay $50 for the Driver Z service, which includes the course, vision testing and the knowledge test.

A parent or guardian must be with you at the Autopac agent or MPI Service Centre, or they can sign a Parental Consent Form and you can go on your own.

To set up as a customer you will need to bring identification. Use our Proving My identity tool to find the documents you need, or bring one of the combinations below:

Option 1	A Vital Statistics issued birth certificate + one documents* showing where you live + a signed Declaration of Guarantor of Proof of Identity form, which is available on the MPI website.
Option 2	Canadian passport + two documents* showing where you live.
Option 3	Certificate of Indian Status + birth certificate + two documents* showing where you live.
Option 4	Secure Certificate of Indian Status + two documents* showing where you live.
Option 5	Foreign passport (with acceptable evidence showing entitlement to be in Canada) + two documents* showing where you live.
Option 6	Canadian passport + one document* showing where you live + a signed Declaration of Guarantor of Proof of Identity form, which is available on the MPI website.

* a bank statement, income tax statement or confirmation letter from your employer dated within 90 days. For a complete list of acceptable documents, visit establishing your identity.

You will need to provide an email address when registering for Driver Z. Parent or guardians will also need to access Driver Z using an email. Student email addresses cannot be the same as their parent or guardian’s email address that they plan on using as a co-pilot for Driver Z.

Once you are set up as a customer and 15 1/2, visit our Course Finder to view which courses you are eligible for. Course finder will display details on when you can view upcoming courses and when the next registration date is for Driver Z.

When registration opens, we recommend you visit an Autopac Agent or MPI Service Centre to register. If you can’t attend a physical location that day, you can also call our Contact Centre to register by phone at 204-985-7000. You must set up as a customer and have purchased the Driver Z service beforehand if you want to register by phone.

Please remember that you must be present when registering in-person for a Driver Z course or if you are registering over the phone you must be on the call. A parent or guardian cannot register for you.

Having trouble finding two address documents?
A Guarantor Declaration can help. A Guarantor is someone who can verify your identity. To act as a Guarantor, a person must be a Canadian citizen residing in Canada, have known you personally for at least two years and work in one of the occupations listed on the Declaration of Guarantor of Proof of Identity form (e.g., teacher, principal, doctor, etc.).

What to expect

Within 31 days of the course start date, you will receive an email with instructions to log on to the Driver Z online application and begin required pre-learning activities (Zone 1, activities 1-29) before Kick-Off.

Zone 1: Electric Avenue

Cruise through Electric Avenue before the first virtual class Kick-Off. Log in, complete all 29 online activities and set up your co-pilot. This zone may take up to 12 hours to complete.

Zone 2 & 3: From Easy Street to Road Sage

Attend the Kick-Off virtual class with your co-pilot, attend 20 hours of virtual class learning and keep up with your eLessons!

You will write your knowledge test in class five. If you pass, you need to purchase your Class 5L licence and begin in-car practice lessons (good luck!).

Zone 4: Highway to Help

On the Highway to Help, you’ve passed your knowledge test and are attending instructor-led in-car training (14 hours) while continuing to keep up with online requirements between lessons (2 hours).

Zone 5: Life in the Slow Lane

It’s all you! Complete at least 45 hours of in-car practice time (which must be verified by a co-pilot). If you go beyond 45 hours of in-car practice, you earn twice the points for each hour!

Zone 6: Boulevard of Dreams

This is it – the final stretch! The more you practice, the more points you get. As you do, you rise on the leaderboard and level up, collecting badges. Then, at seven months after the knowledge test and with at least 45 hours of verified practice time, you are eligible to book a readiness assessment with your instructor.

For information about driver testing, including knowledge and road tests, as well as vision and medical requirements, please visit the Testing for your Class 5 licence page.

For more information about obtaining your Class 5 licence, including the Graduated Driver Licensing restrictions in each stage, visit the Get a passenger vehicle class 5 licence page.

Why practice is so important

Applying what you’ve learned in a practical setting will help you build your confidence behind the wheel and reduce your risk as a novice driver. During the program, you must complete a minimum of 45 hours of practice time; we recommend you acquire 100 hours of in-car practice time.

Enlist a safe driving team to help you reach your goal! Everyone wants to see you succeed and become a safe driver. The online application allows you to invite up to eight co-pilots to help you achieve the minimum required amount of in-car practice time.

The role of co-pilots and supervising drivers

We all work together to help young drivers gain the skills and knowledge they need behind the wheel. Think of it as a safe driving team.

To successfully complete Driver Z, you will need a safe driving support team which includes at least one co-pilot and a supervising driver (and yes, they can be the same person).

Supervising driver: someone who sits next to you while you acquire practice time. This individual must have held their Class 5 Full stage (5F) driver’s licence for at least three years.

Co-pilot: someone who will log on to Driver Z (either on a computer or phone) to verify your practice time online. Your co-pilot must be an MPI customer. You can invite up to eight co-pilots to share the responsibility. Co-pilots must complete eLessons 1-6 online.
