How long are the driving lessons?
For a BDE student, the duration of each lesson is typically 1 hour. However, as per MTO rules, BDE students are allowed a maximum of  2 hours of driving lessons in a single day. For non-BDE cases, there is no limit on the maximum number of hours.
How many lessons will I need before I can pass my driving test?

The number of lessons needed to pass the driving test varies depending on your previous driving experience, if any, and your aptitude. People with driving experience in other countries usually need 3 to 5 lessons, whereas novice drivers generally need 10 to 20 lessons to gain confidence and learn enough skills to pass the driving test.
