Classroom sessions meet on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for five weeks. A student is allowed to miss up to 4 classroom sessions, but make up classes are required.

At the end of the second week of classes our students are taken to the Secretary of State facility for their Instruction Permit test. Later, they are scheduled for behind-the-wheel driving and observation time. Basic Program includes four 3-hour blocks of behind-the-wheel training.  Advanced Program will have four 1.5-hour sessions, and two 1-hour sessions of one-on-one private instruction.  Driving lessons are available 6 days a week in our new training cars.
