I got my license taken away for a month because of demerits when I was 17... It was pretty terrible month especially since I was pizza delivery dude at the time. After the month was up I just started driving again. 3 months later some lady hit me and I had to go to the police station to give my statement... turns out, you have to actually bring in your license and they confiscate it, then when the month is up you have to pay to get a new one. I ended up getting a ticket for driving without a license and had to pay to get a new license.

However, after that experience I stopped driving like an idiot and now have a very clean driving record. (FYI 17 was quite some site ago)

I don't think the demerit reduction course will help after they have made the decision to revoke your license. I think you are going to have accept that you won't have a license for a month.
