The tuition price for the course is $799 + tax.  This price includes the eLearning component (valued at $399), the 6 hour hands-on in-yard training (valued at $399), and the final training evaluation.

The Ontario-approved training course we offer is a hybrid training course.  This course includes three training components.  The first training component is the eLearning training component.  This will take approximately 8-10 hours to complete.  Drivers can stop and start their training and the system will remember their progress.  The second training component is the in-yard training.  The third and final training component will be the online training evaluation.   

Once you completed your Online Training, In-Yard Training, and Final Training Evaluation, you will receive a certificate of completion. This can be viewed and printed from a student learning center.

We are limited to 16 students for each in-yard training event.  Once an in-yard training event reaches 16 students registered it will be sold out and registration will be unavailable.

Unfortunately, at this time we do not have the ability to notify operators or add operators to a waiting list for sold out events.

In-yard events are only displayed to drivers who have completed the eLearning component of the training.  Once a driver creates a training account, purchases the course and completes the eLearning component they will have access to the available dates and locations for the in-yard training. These can be found in section 9 of the eLearning course that has been completed.

We’re proud to offer our courses at a fair, standardized rate for all participants. For that reason, we do not provide coupons, sales, or special discounts.

Step 1: Drivers will need to set up a training account at www.towtruckdrivertraining.ca.  Drivers will be required to provide their driver’s license number and upload a photo of their driver’s license.  Training accounts will need to be under the driver’s name and the name on the driver’s license that is uploaded will need to match the name on the account.

Step 2: Drivers will need to purchase the Ontario Tow Truck Driver Training course. The tuition price is $399 + tax for the eLearning course.. Both are mandatory to obtain a certificate of completion. Once the purchase has been made driver will have immediate access to the eLearning portion of the course.

Step 3: The driver will be required to work through all 9 sections of the eLearning component of the training course.  Drivers will be able to stop and start the eLearning.  The system will save their course progress.  Click here to see an overview of the sections that will be covered. Drivers will be limited to 5 hour of online training time per day.

Step 4: Once the eLearning component has been completed drivers are ready to schedule their 6-hour in-yard training.  In-yard training registration is only available to drivers who have completed the eLearning component.  Section 9 of the eLearning course will give access to the current dates and locations of available in-yard training.  There is no additional cost for the in-yard training. The tuition fee for the in-yard training is $399 + tax.  This fee includes the final on-line training evaluation.

Step 5: After registering for in-yard training driver will attend their selected date and location.  They will be with a TTDT.ca training that will be providing the in-yard training.  To see what modules will be covered click here.  The class is rain or shine and operators are required to bring work gloves and work boots.  No walk in are permitted and student that are late will not be allowed entry.

Step 6: Once the in-yard has been completed student will have access to their online training evaluation.  This evaluation is done online and students will have 2 hours to complete.  If students don’t pass there is no additional fee to re-test.  The passing grade for the training evaluation is 75%.

Step 7: Once the training evaluation is completed drivers will earn a certificate.  We will email a copy to the driver.  TTDT.ca will upload your certificate to the MTO website on the next business day after completion.

The Driver Training course that has been approved by the MTO is a hybrid training course. Each driver will complete the first section of their training course. This section is an eLearning section. Once that is complete they will schedule a location for their in-hard hands-on training.  This can be done from section 9 of your eLearning course. This 6 hour in-yard training will be completed with an approved TTDT.ca  trainer. Once an operator completes the 6 hour in-yard training operators will be able to take the final training evaluation on-line. Once the evaluation is passed operators will earn their certificate.

We are always adding new dates and locations for in-yard training.  Operators who have completed the eLearning portion of the training will have access to the list of available dates and locations.  They can select a date and location and secure their spot.

As of now, the requirement for a mandatory tow truck training course is primarily focused on specific provinces, such as Ontario. However, the adoption of similar mandatory training programs in other Canadian provinces is still under discussion and varies by region. Some provinces may consider implementing such requirements in the future to enhance safety and professionalism in the towing industry. It is advisable to keep an eye on regional legislative developments or check with local authorities for the most up-to-date information regarding tow truck training requirements in specific provinces.
