Presenting the assessment certification form to ICBC allows ICBC to remove the supervision and speed restrictions from your Learners licence, but it is not a guarantee. ICBC does have the right to retest individuals who have qualified on an MSA.
Individuals who do not meet the skills course performance standards after Day 2 will be required to complete Extra Training prior to proceeding to Day 3 at an additional rate of $150.00/2 hour block.
Individuals who do not meet the skills course performance standards by the 13th practical hour can register for Extra Training at a rate of $150.00/2 hour block.
If you do not qualify on the MSA and/or choose to do the skills test through ICBC, ICBC will not waive the earliest exam date requirements on your Learners licence.
