Students must achieve 80% on final exams before progressing to behind-the-wheel training. The curriculum prepares learners for DMV permit testing and includes motorcycle awareness modules.

Hands-on driving instruction covers vehicle control, lane changes, parking, and highway navigation. Lessons are conducted in student vehicles or through our flexible mobile training service within our service area. Completion requires prior classroom certification submission for minors.
