The answer depends on several factors: the length of the theory modules, the pace of your practical lessons, and the structure of the program set by the SAAQ. Here is a complete and clear overview of what to expect.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"duree-en-bref\"><span style=\"color: #4f55db;\">Driving Course Duration at a Glance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before getting into the details, here is a summary of how long each component of a driving course in Quebec takes:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Component<\/th>\n<th>Duration<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Theory classes<\/td>\n<td>24 hours (12 modules of 2 h each)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Practical lessons<\/td>\n<td>15 hours (15 sessions of 55 min)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total program duration<\/td>\n<td>10 to 12 months on average<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Intensive course option<\/td>\n<td>Available \u2014 condensed theory possible<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The SAAQ&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/saaq.gouv.qc.ca\/en\/driving-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Road Safety Education Program (RSEP)<\/a> governs this training. Every new learner driver who wants a Class 5 licence in Quebec must complete it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"partie-theorique\"><span style=\"color: #4f55db;\">The Theory Component: 12 Modules, 24 Hours<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"deroulement-theorie\" style=\"color: #fcbb5d;\">How Are the Theory Classes Structured?<\/h3>\n<p>The theory component consists of 12 modules of 2 hours each, for a total of 24 hours of instruction. You must complete each module in the prescribed order \u2014 you cannot begin the practical component before finishing the theory modules required for each phase.<\/p>\n<p>Schools typically run theory classes in groups, either on-site or online. Some offer a hybrid format, which gives you more flexibility in scheduling.<\/p>\n<p>Your module frequency directly affects how long this stage takes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1 module per week<\/strong> \u2192 12 weeks to complete the theory<\/li>\n<li><strong>2 modules per week<\/strong> \u2192 6 weeks<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intensive format (3 or more modules per week)<\/strong> \u2192 theory completed in under a month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At Somerled Driving School, theory classes are offered in regular sessions in Montreal. You can plan your module schedule according to your availability, while following the order required by the SAAQ.<\/p>\n<p><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec.png 2000w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-100x100.png 100w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13384 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13384\" src=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec.png 2000w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-theoriques-conduite-quebec-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"partie-pratique\"><span style=\"color: #4f55db;\">The Practical Component: 15 Hours on the Road<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"sorties-pratiques\" style=\"color: #fcbb5d;\">How Are the Practical Lessons Structured?<\/h3>\n<p>The practical component includes 15 driving sessions of 55 minutes each, for a total of 15 hours on the road. Each session takes place with a certified instructor in the school&#8217;s vehicle. The program progresses gradually \u2014 from basic manoeuvres in local traffic to highway driving and more complex conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, most students complete one to two sessions per week. The more consistent the pace, the better the learning consolidates. Try to avoid leaving several weeks between lessons, especially at the beginning of the program.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"duree-totale\"><span style=\"color: #4f55db;\">What Is the Total Duration of the Program?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"quatre-phases\" style=\"color: #fcbb5d;\">The 4 Phases of the Quebec Driving Program<\/h3>\n<p>The program breaks down into 4 distinct phases \u2014 complete them in order:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Phase<\/th>\n<th>Content<\/th>\n<th>Approximate Duration<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Phase 1<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Theory modules 1 to 4 + SAAQ knowledge test \u2192 obtaining the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/en\/learners-licence\/\">learner&#8217;s permit<\/a><\/td>\n<td>A few weeks to a few months depending on your pace<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Phase 2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Theory modules 5 to 12 + practical sessions with instructor<\/td>\n<td>Minimum 10 months with the learner&#8217;s permit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Phase 3<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>SAAQ road test \u2192 obtaining the probationary licence<\/td>\n<td>Depending on SAAQ exam availability<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Phase 4<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Independent driving under probationary conditions<\/td>\n<td>Minimum 24 months \u2192 full Class 5 licence<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"cours-accelere\"><span style=\"color: #4f55db;\">Is There an Intensive Driving Course in Quebec?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"cours-accelere-possible\" style=\"color: #fcbb5d;\">What Can Be Accelerated<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it is possible to follow a more intensive driving course in Quebec. By concentrating the theory modules at a faster pace, some students complete the theory component in 3 to 4 weeks rather than 3 months. Here is how an intensive course works in practice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frequency:<\/strong> 3 to 5 modules per week instead of one<\/li>\n<li><strong>Theory duration:<\/strong> as short as 3 to 4 weeks<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practical sessions:<\/strong> can also be scheduled more closely together \u2014 2 to 3 sessions per week if availability allows<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> the same as a regular course \u2014 the Quebec government sets a maximum price of $1,130 + taxes for a Class 5 driving course, regardless of the format<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This approach is especially popular among newcomers to Quebec or people who need to obtain their licence quickly for professional reasons.<\/p>\n<p><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec.png 2000w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-100x100.png 100w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13380 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13380\" src=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec.png 2000w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/ecolesomerled.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cours-conduite-accelere-quebec-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"cours-accelere-limites\" style=\"color: #fcbb5d;\">What Cannot Be Shortened<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the intensive options available, the SAAQ sets certain program timelines that you cannot bypass:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold your learner&#8217;s permit for at least 10 months before taking the road test<\/li>\n<li>Hold your probationary licence for at least 24 months before obtaining the full licence<\/li>\n<li>Complete your 15 hours of practical driving with a certified instructor from a <a href=\"https:\/\/saaq.gouv.qc.ca\/en\/driving-course\/finding-recognized-driving-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SAAQ-recognized driving school<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SAAQ put these timelines in place to ensure every driver builds enough real-world experience before getting a full licence.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\"><span style=\"color: #4f55db;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The timelines set by the SAAQ are fixed, but how quickly you progress through the theory component is entirely up to you.
