Please read below for a message from Manitoba Public Insurance regarding the Driver Z program:
Hello parents and guardians of future Driver Z students,
Registration for all Winter 2026 Driver Z courses (December through February) begins in October.
Available courses for this session will be posted on the Driver Z Course Finder on Friday, October 9, so you can plan ahead and determine which course works best for your student.
Students interested in enrolling in the winter term of Driver Z must sign up as a new MPI customer and purchase the Driver Education service at a MPI Service Centre or broker by end of day on Saturday, October 10, to be eligible to receive an invitation for a registration window. Learn more about how the registration process works.
Important things to keep in mind
· Only Manitoba high school students who are or will be 15 ½ years of age by the date of the Driver Z Knowledge Test (Lesson 5 of the in-class portion) are eligible to participate in the Driver Z program. Visit our website to learn more about eligibility requirements.
· To confirm if you’re eligible for a specific course, use the Driver Z Course Finder tool – simply enter your school division, school and birthday. You’ll be eligible for any courses that appear in the results. If you have questions, a broker or MPI representative will review available course options with you and guide you through the registration process.
· Parents/guardians cannot register for students, unless they are given authorization in writing, in advance by the student. To get the details on how to provide written authority to register on a student’s behalf, speak to your broker or call our Contact Centre at 204-985-7000 or toll-free 1-800-665-2410 to learn more. Otherwise, students must be present when registering for a Driver Z course, whether you’re doing so in person or over the phone.
