Behind-The-Wheel Training
After you’ve received your Learner’s Permit, you are ready to take the driver’s seat! Before you can begin driving with a licensed adult aged 25 or older, however, you must have your first 2-hour driving lesson with a DMV-certified instructor.The instructor will then validate your Learner’s Permit, and you can begin! You must have 6 hours of driver’s ed training with a DMV-certified instructor, plus 50 hours of practice time with a licensed adult over 25 (10 of those hours at night).Our behind-the-wheel training covers a wide range of techniques and maneuvers and is geared toward each individual student’s needs, with the #1 goal being the student’s safety as they learn to become safe, defensive drivers.
Our instructors communicate with the parents every step of the way, keeping them informed on their student’s progress and what they can be practicing in your driving time with them.
DMV Package
When your behind-the-wheel training and practice time is complete, you are ready to take your DMV driving test. Don’t worry – we will still be with you! With our DMV Package, we will make your DMV appointment, pick you up an hour early, provide support and encouragement to you, and let you use our car for your driving test. Its always good to have questions, so feel free to contact us with any you may have (949)-387-4400.
