BC Class 7L Knowledge Test Locations & Format: Online or In Person

You can take the British Columbia Class 7L knowledge test online or in person. In-person testing is offered at eligible driver licensing locations, and passing online still requires an office visit before the learner licence is issued.

Where Can You Take the BC Class 7L Knowledge Test in British Columbia?

Class 7 applicants now have two routes: the online knowledge test or an in-person test at an eligible driver licensing location.

• ICBC driver licensing offices: Many provide in-person knowledge testing.
• Service BC driver licensing offices: Some locations provide driver licensing and knowledge-test services.
• Driver licensing agent offices: Authorized agents can provide licensing services in some communities. An agent may be located in a business that also sells Autoplan, but an ordinary Autoplan broker is not automatically a knowledge-test site.
• Find the service first: Use ICBC's location listing and confirm that the specific location offers knowledge testing.

Driving schools and high schools do not become official testing sites simply because they provide driver education.

Do all Service BC locations offer Class 7 knowledge testing? No. Driver licensing services vary by location. Check ICBC's location listing and confirm that the Service BC centre you plan to use offers knowledge testing.

Do all driver licensing agent offices offer the Class 7 knowledge test? No. Services can differ by agent. Choose a location that specifically lists the driver licensing or knowledge-test service you need.

Is the Class 7 knowledge test the same at ICBC, Service BC and driver licensing agent locations?

The passenger-vehicle knowledge-test standard does not become easier or harder because of the office type. What can differ is the location's available services, booking method and operating hours.

Does BC Offer an Online Class 7L Knowledge Test from Home?

Yes. Class 7 applicants can take the knowledge test online. The online test does not require a knowledge-test appointment. In-person knowledge tests require an appointment.

Eligibility, ID, consent and vision requirements are covered in the dedicated application and document guides.

What Is the In-Person BC Knowledge Test Setup Like?

If you choose the in-person Class 7 knowledge test, you use the computer equipment provided at an eligible driver licensing location. Confirm that the location offers knowledge testing before you go.

For the number of questions, 45-minute limit, scoring, skip function and other test mechanics, see the BC permit test format guide.

If you need an accommodation, use the dedicated Accessibility guide for current options and booking requirements.

Can you take the BC Class 7 knowledge test on paper instead of a computer?

The standard Class 7 knowledge test is computer-based. In-person applicants use the testing system at a driver licensing location, while eligible applicants can also take the test online on a supported computer.
