6 Hours Behind the Wheel Instruction Requirement

Enjoy the convenience of home pick-up and drop-off. This allows you the benefit of fewer interruptions to your daily schedule. If that isn’t convenience enough, you can also arrange to have your student picked-up or dropped-off at other locations like school, work or a grandparents home.
Your teen will drive for a full two hours with one of our friendly instructors. We are focused on helping your teen develop good driving skills that will help them stay safe on the road. Our in-car lesson plans allow your student to experience first hand as many driving situations as possible. Experience is the key to learning how to drive.
Our driver evaluation sheets are given to your teen at the end of every drive to share with you. Notes and check marks indicate how well your teen is progressing as a new driver. Please do not loose the sheet! Your teen must bring the sheet back for each subsequent behind the wheel session.

Our Class Schedules are Flexible
We get it, you are busy! Finding time to fit driver’s education into your busy teen’s schedule is difficult. That is why we have structured our classroom education to be as flexible for you as is possible.
Your student is required to attend a total of 30 hours of classroom education before they may take the written permit test. But what do you do if they must miss a class due to a conflict with their schedule?
We make the answer as simple as possible. You may make up any days missed by attending the same day of class at any other location we offer classroom education. For example: If they miss day 4 they can attend day 4 anywhere we have classes.
