Please allow a minimum of 48 hours from the time you complete your classroom training until you receive your permit slip.

If you are not enrolled for behind the wheel with us, we will contact you to inquire about whether or not you plan to enroll in behind the wheel with us or another driving school.

• If you enroll with us, we will send you a signed MV3001 after we receive your enrollment.

Our behind the wheel sessions are scheduled in 2-hour increments. Students are paired with another student and each student will drive for one hour and observe for hour. Students must complete six behind the wheel sessions.

No, you do not need any paperwork from us. We submit your classroom and behind the wheel completions online so the DMV will look them up when you go take your road test to confirm you have met the requirements.

Once you receive your instruction permit, please contact us and let us know. YOU WILL NOT BE ADDED TO THE DRIVING SCHEDULE UNLESS WE RECEIVE CONFIRMATION FROM YOU THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR PERMIT. Once you notify us, you can expect your first drive time in 2-4 weeks.

We try to space out drive times so students have a chance to practice during all the different seasonal conditions so you can expect to have lessons about once a month. However, if you need to complete your lessons at a faster pace, please let us know and we will work to accommodate your schedule.

We offer drive times on both weekdays and weekends. Please let us know days and times that work best for you and we will work to accommodate your schedule.
