How To Reschedule or Cancel An Exam
If you reschedule or cancel your exam you are required to provide 48 hours notice. To reschedule or cancel an exam, you must submit the request via email to [email protected] at least 2 business days before the exam date or a cancellation/no show fee will apply. This policy allows fairness to other students who are looking to book their exam. If you reschedule within 2 business days, your payment will automatically be applied towards your rescheduled exam.

Cancellations without 48 hours notification are subject to “No Show/Cancellation” fee at the cost of  $50.00 plus HST.

Partially Passed Exams
If you received a pass mark on the overall exam but fail one or more mandatory subject areas, you’ll be evaluated as a partial pass and must rewrite the failed section or sections of the exam. You will be provided in writing what your eligibility date will be to re-write. A written statement signed by a qualified person (your Instructor) certifying that you have received additional training is required (a new Letter of Recommend)

You must rewrite the failed section(s) within 24 months following the date of the application for a permit, licence or rating. If this date has passed, you’ll need to rewrite the exam in its entirety.

Please be sure that the above has been met before you commit to your appointment.
