Description

This course is designed to give students the fundamentals for driving responsibly, safely and defensively. In addition to the 8 hour classroom portion, each student will receive four to six lessons of behind-the-wheel training that will be scheduled during the classroom portion but will begin the week following the class. Amount of drive time is determined by the instructor as the student achieves the driving competencies (see Driver Education Webpage for listing). Students must be at least 14 years old. It is recommended but not necessary for students to have a current learner's permit prior to the class. All course materials are included in the course fee. A welcome letter from the instructor and the Transportation division will be sent to enrolled participants approximately one-week prior to the first class. For students under 18: We strongly recommend that a parent/guardian attend the first class to meet the instructor and complete forms. Driving lessons will be scheduled during the first class session. Driving will take place over the next 4-5 weeks. Expectations are that all students should complete the program during that 4-5 week time frame.
