Driver Education

In-Person Training + Practice Drives

In-person classes meet at the YMCA each Sunday for 8 weeks at 1-4 pm. Students are graded on classroom participation as well as a final exam.

Students also receive six in-car driving lessons and will sign up each week for the times that work with their schedules.

Class size is limited, so register early.

  • $435
  • A $170 deposit is due at enrollment with the remaining $265 paid weekly for 5 weeks.
  • The first $50 payment after that is due at the first class. Fees must be paid in full by the fifth week or student will be dropped from the class.
  • No refunds given for any reason.

Online Training + Practice Drives

Step 1:

Check out the online option for Driver Education courses, through a partnership with All Star Driver Education.

Parents also need to come in to register with our front desk for the drives (additional $380) and to receive the Certificate of Driver Ed (CDE) form for the driver’s permit.

 

Audio Training

Looking for another way to study? Audio files can help you practice for the written test. Files are in MP3 audio format and can be played inside your browser. The files are compatible with most mobile devices. Listen to them on the go!

Drive Tests

Drive tests may be administered by appointment for a fee of $40. The drive test may be administered when student is 16 + 3 months, which is the date to get their probationary license. We will provide a drive test completion form to be taken to the BMV, waiving the need for the BMV drive test.
