Driver Education

Customers who successfully complete both the Theoretical and Practical sections of this instruction can qualify for up to 25% Discount on insurance premiums.(Check with your insurance agent for details.)

The driver's license you are interested in is a wonderful privilege, yet it is also a big responsibility. Our course prepares you to become a safe responsible driver.

During the 30 hours of classroom instruction we cover DWI Education and Prevention, defensive driving, rules and regulations and most importantly, the psychological aspects of being a good driver. We administer 5 written exams based on the lecture material and films.

We provide certified instructors, three convenient classroom locations and convenient payment options. Other driving schools offer only the basic, state required driver education course.

We Offer you 7 Options that not only meet, but exceed the State minimum requirements. You can choose the programs that most benefit your individual driving instruction needs!

We want all of our students to have a good time. But remember the subjects we talk about in class and the skills you will learn are serious, deadly serious. We expect all of our students to have a mature and responsible attitude. As far as we are concerned, our students are young adults and are expected to behave as such. We look forward to seeing you in our next class!
