Licensed driving school in Langford, BC

ICBC's public directory lists SHANAYA'S DRIVING SCHOOL in Langford for Class 5 and 7 driver training. This page explains exactly what that record does, and does not, verify.

This page keeps its legacy web address because some people search for an "ICBC-approved driving school." That phrase is not an accurate description of an ordinary licensed driving school. The wording permitted for the verified status here is "licensed as a driver training school under the Motor Vehicle Act."

When checked on July 21, 2026, ICBC's general driving-school directory showed this exact record: SHANAYA'S DRIVING SCHOOL, 124-2770 LEIGH RD, LANGFORD BC V9B 4G1, telephone (250) 542-3673, with driver training classes 5 and 7. ICBC states that its school list is not intended as a recommendation or endorsement.

The general directory and ICBC's separate list of schools offering an approved Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) course serve different purposes. An exact-name, address and telephone check did not find Shanaya's in the approved-GLP directory on July 21, 2026, so this page does not represent the school or its ordinary lessons as ICBC-approved.

What the directory record verifies

The ICBC directory record identifies the school, its listed Langford address and telephone number, and Class 5 and 7 under the driver-training field. It supports the statement that Shanaya's is licensed as a driver training school under the Motor Vehicle Act; it does not establish ICBC endorsement or approval of every lesson, claim, instructor or vehicle.

Licensed school versus approved course

A school licence and an approved GLP course are not interchangeable. ICBC maintains a separate approved-GLP directory. Only a qualifying course with specific ICBC approval may be described as a "driver education course approved by ICBC." Shanaya's did not appear in that separate directory under the exact identifiers checked on July 21, 2026.

  • A general directory listing is evidence of the school's listed licensing status
  • An approved GLP course has a separate approval and directory listing
  • Recheck both official directories because listings and approvals can change

Advertising rule and verification checklist

Section 27.10(2)(e) of the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act Regulations prohibits a school or instructor from stating or implying that the school or its employees are approved, supervised, recommended or endorsed by ICBC or government, subject to the exact permitted licensing and approved-course wording in that section. Before paying, verify the current records and ask for any credential or course designation relevant to the service you want.

  • Search the general ICBC directory and match the exact business name, address, telephone and training classes
  • If you want GLP course benefits, confirm the school and the specific course in ICBC's separate approved-GLP directory before enrolling
  • Ask to see current school and individual-instructor credentials instead of assuming them from advertising
  • Treat any lesson, mock test or practice assessment as private instruction, not an official ICBC test or official score

Frequently asked questions

Is Shanaya's Driving School ICBC-approved?

That is not the claim made here. ICBC's general directory listed SHANAYA'S DRIVING SCHOOL at 124-2770 Leigh Rd in Langford for Class 5 and 7 driver training when checked July 21, 2026. The permitted description used here is "licensed as a driver training school under the Motor Vehicle Act." ICBC says its list is not a recommendation or endorsement.

Does Shanaya's offer an ICBC-approved GLP course?

Shanaya's did not appear under the exact business name, address or telephone in ICBC's separate approved-GLP school directory when checked July 21, 2026. Do not assume an ordinary lesson has GLP-course approval or qualifies for a GLP benefit; verify the current ICBC directory and the specific course before enrolling.

What do Classes 5 and 7 in the directory mean for this page?

They are the two entries shown in the record's driver-training field. That field supports the scope recorded for the school, but it does not by itself verify a particular instructor's current licence, a vehicle, a curriculum or an approved GLP course.

Is a school mock test an official ICBC road test?

No. A lesson, mock test or practice assessment provided by a private school is coaching only. It is not administered by ICBC, does not produce an official ICBC score and cannot determine whether ICBC will issue a licence.

How can I verify a school or course before paying?

Use ICBC's general school directory, match the exact business identifiers, and ask to see the current school and instructor credentials relevant to your booking. If a GLP-approved course is advertised, also find the school in ICBC's separate approved-GLP directory and confirm that the specific course is the approved offering.

Official sources and review note

Prepared by Shanaya's Driving School, an independent driving school. Confirm current licensing requirements with ICBC.

The school record was checked by exact name, address and telephone against ICBC's general directory, and the same identifiers were checked against ICBC's separate approved-GLP directory. The advertising language was checked against section 27.10 of the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act Regulations. No current individual-instructor credential, training vehicle, GLP approval, pass rate, road-test route or scoring claim is made here. Recheck the official directories because records can change.
