Program Description

Ontario's Driver Certification Program (DCP), under the Ministry of Transportation (MTO), allows companies to train, test, and recommend their employees for license upgrades. The person who delivers the training and performs the testing must be approved by the MTO as a signing authority.

Starting in January 2016, the MTO will be implementing a recertification training requirement for all signing authorities. To help firms meet this requirement, IHSA will be offering a Fleet Signing Authority Recertification training program. The course has been approved by the MTO and meets the requirement for Signing Authority Recertification training.
