Students enrolled in our Driver Education program are in a con-current course. This means that students can begin their behind-the-wheel driving sessions after their Learners License (Permit) has been issued to them by the DPS office. Students become eligible to obtain their Permit ANYTIME after 6 hours of classroom instruction! (3 days)
How it Works:
1. Attend the first 3 days of class (6 hours)
2. We will then issue the necessary certificate required to take the Permit test at D.P.S.
3. Pass your test, get your Permit, present your Permit to office for verification.
4. Once verified, you can schedule your first couple of driving lessons
5. Students MUST attend class everyday for the required 2 hours (see below). Driving sessions should be scheduled for times that do not conflict with the student's prior obligations. Our drive sessions are two hours in length in which an assigned instructor will pair up two students to drive, thereby permitting the student drivers to earn one (1) hour each of driving and observation each time they complete a driving session.
6. All students are required to complete 14 hours of on-the-road instruction. Seven (7) hours actual driving and seven (7) hours observing other classmates driving.
***There will be a total of 7 sessions eventually scheduled. (If you need to expedite your driving sessions, you are asked to contact the school to see how we may be able to make accomodations. Please keep in mind that we must be fair to our students, giving each the opportunity to drive. It will be impossible to schedule all 7 sessions at once and parents are highly encouraged play an active role in scheduling their student's drives.
Important Note:
a) No more than 5 classes can be missed - make-ups required
b) Missed classes can be made up two ways: in-class at a later date OR take-home
c) Students are not permitted to drive during their scheduled class time. (T.E.A. rules)
d) Cancellations for driving sessions MUST be made no later than 24 hours in advance of their scheduled drive time.
A $30 late cancellation/no-show fee will be assessed for missed driving lessons. (strictly enforced)
