Drivers Education (Ed) is Coordinated through Manitoba Public Insurance and not through the school.
Informtaion Provided Below is available on the Manitoba Public Insurance Website at: https://www.mpi.mb.ca/Pages/driver-z.aspx
Program overview
Driver Z is driver education for the next generation.
Using a mix of online and in-car learning, Driver Z gives students the tools, knowledge and confidence to improve their driving ability, reduce risk, and prevent collisions.
Online
In addition to in-car training, students are required to access Driver Z online – either on a smartphone or computer – to log in, complete course work and track their progress. The site hosts interactive eLearning activities, instructional videos and an online practice log.
What else is new and exciting? The program has been gamified! Driver Z is organized on a map that spans six zones. Complete eLessons, attend virtual classes and practice with a supervising driver to progress through the map and earn points and stars as you go. As you rack up the points, you unlock progress badges.
How do I register?
If you’re at least 15 ½ years old, you can register for Driver Z.
But first, you need to be set up as a customer. You’ll also need to go to an Autopac agent or MPI Service Centre and pay $50 for the Driver Z service, which includes the course, vision testing and the knowledge test.
A parent or guardian must be with you at the Autopac agent or MPI Service Centre, or they can sign a Parental Consent Form and you can go on your own.
To set up as a customer you will need to bring identification. Use our Proving My identity tool to find the documents you need, or bring one of the combinations below:
Option 1
| A Vital Statistics issued birth certificate + one documents* showing where you live + a signed Declaration of Guarantor of Proof of Identity form, which is available on the MPI website. |
Option 2 | Canadian passport + two documents* showing where you live. |
Option 3 | Certificate of Indian Status + birth certificate + two documents* showing where you live. |
Option 4 | Secure Certificate of Indian Status + two documents* showing where you live. |
Option 5 | Foreign passport (with acceptable evidence showing entitlement to be in Canada) + two documents* showing where you live. |
Option 6 | Canadian passport + one document* showing where you live + a signed Declaration of Guarantor of Proof of Identity form, which is available on the MPI website. |
* a bank statement, income tax statement or confirmation letter from your employer dated within 90 days. For a complete list of acceptable documents, visit establishing your identity.
You will need to provide an email address when registering for Driver Z. Parent or guardians will also need to access Driver Z using an email. Student email addresses cannot be the same as their parent or guardian’s email address that they plan on using as a co-pilot for Driver Z.
Once you are set up as a customer and 15 1/2, visit the MPI Course Finder to view which courses you are eligible for. Course finder will display details on when you can view upcoming courses and when the next registration date is for Driver Z.
When registration opens, we recommend you visit an Autopac Agent or MPI Service Centre to register. If you can’t attend a physical location that day, you can also call our Contact Centre to register by phone at 204-985-7000. You must set up as a customer and have purchased the Driver Z service beforehand if you want to register by phone.
Please remember that you must be present when registering in-person for a Driver Z course or if you are registering over the phone you must be on the call. A parent or guardian cannot register for you.
Having trouble finding two address documents?
A Guarantor Declaration can help. A Guarantor is someone who can verify your identity. To act as a Guarantor, a person must be a Canadian citizen residing in Canada, have known you personally for at least two years and work in one of the occupations listed on the Declaration of Guarantor of Proof of Identity form (e.g., teacher, principal, doctor, etc.).
