About Licence To Drive, LTD
Family-Owned. Locally Operated. Quality Driver Training Since 2016.
Founded in 2016, Licence To Drive, LTD is a family-owned and operated driving school proudly serving the Sea to Sky Corridor, Lillooet, Bella Coola, and surrounding communities.
From first-time drivers preparing for their Class 7 licence to experienced drivers upgrading their commercial qualifications, we provide professional training designed to build confidence, develop practical skills, and promote safe driving habits.
We're not just here to help you pass your road test. We're here to help you become a safer, more confident driver for life.
Our experienced instructors bring extensive real-world driving knowledge to every lesson. We recognize that students learn differently, so we tailor our instruction to each person's experience, abilities, and goals.
We offer a wide range of driver training programs, including Class 7 and Class 5 driving lessons, our Graduated Licensing Program (GLP Club), Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4 commercial driver training, trailer endorsements, and air brake training and certification.
Specialized Commercial Driver Training
As a leading provider of commercial driver training in the Sea to Sky Corridor, we offer specialized Class 2 and Class 3 instruction, along with air brake training and certification, providing convenient access to commercial training close to home.
We also work with businesses, fire departments, municipalities, and commercial fleet operators, bringing hands-on instruction directly to their workplace. Students train on the vehicles they'll actually operate, helping organizations reduce travel, downtime, and unnecessary expenses.
Practical Training for Real-World Driving
Whether we're teaching a new driver in one of our Honda Civic Hybrids, helping someone learn manual transmission in our Subaru WRX, or working with commercial drivers and remote communities, our focus remains the same - practical, supportive instruction that prepares students for real-world driving.
We're fortunate to live and work in one of the most beautiful parts of British Columbia, but driving here comes with its challenges. Mountain highways, steep grades, heavy rain, and unpredictable winter conditions are part of everyday life.
Teaching students to handle these conditions safely is one of our specialties.
