Teens ages 16–17 must also complete 50 hours, but practice may be done with any licensed driver over the age of 21.

​
***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.

Behind the wheel training is a one on one lesson with the student and the instructor. The only exception to this rule is for the purpose of transporting the next student to their ending location. For this purpose we "piggy back" drivers meaning once a students lesson is over the next student will be transporting that student to their ending location.
