SUMMER SCHEDULE IS POSTED!!
***While it is not required to have a temporary permit to begin Drivers Ed, it is highly recommended that students do have their temps at the start of class. The reasoning for this is that we are required to complete each student within 6 months of their start date. It often takes about 8-10 weeks to fully complete the course from start to finish. In the summer that time frame increases. When students begin and do not have their temps they often forget to call us or wait too long and we are booked past their expiration date which results in them having to redo the classroom portion and pay a fee. Having the temporary permit at the start of class will avoid this. There is a link for practice temps test at the top of this page to help you get prepared!!
In order to not raise prices due to the economy, we will only be offering a very limited pick up and take home service area for in car lessons.
