Once you pass the knowledge test, you can take the course. I believe the knowledge test is a prerequisite for the course.
If you don't take the course then you have to wait the 30 days before doing the MST. The school I went to does the MST on sight. If you pass they give you a form and you can go to ICBC and get your interim license. They also booked my class 6 test with ICBC.
Each school might be different so you'll have to call and ask them.
