What Is the GLP Course in BC and How Does It Work?

Many people in British Columbia search for information about the GLP course in BC because getting a driver’s licence can feel confusing at first. At BLNDC, our goal is to make the process easier to understand and easier to access for community members in Burns Lake and surrounding areas.

The Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) is the system used in BC to help new drivers gain experience and skills before becoming fully licensed. The program is designed to improve safety and support new drivers as they build confidence on the road.

What Is the GLP Program?

The GLP program in BC has two main stages:

• Learner (L) stage

• Novice (N) stage

Before joining a GLP driving training course, you must already hold a valid Learner’s (L) licence. The GLP course focuses on helping drivers prepare for their Novice (N) licence through a combination of classroom learning and supervised driving time.
