This is an ONLINE course. This will allow us to meet regardless of the weather. These 3 weekends will be dedicated to the CLASSROOM portion of the course. The 8 hour driving portion will be scheduled IN ADDITION to these hours, according to the student's and instructor's availability. A student must hold a permit for 120 days before eligible to take their driving test. Some students may have their driving schedule spread out over a few weeks or months due to this requirement. STUDENTS MUST BE 16 YEARS OLD BEFORE THEY CAN START CLASSES. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO CHANGE CLASSES IF YOU REGISTER FOR A CLASS THAT TAKES PLACE WHILE YOU ARE STILL 15 YEARS OLD. A deposit of $415.00 is required to register for a class. If a deposit is not received, we cannot guarantee a spot in the class. I understand that classes are assigned on a first come first serve basis. If I do not cancel the class at least 10 days prior to the start of classes, my deposit of $415.00 is forfeited. The balance of $415.00 is due prior to the end of the course If you wish to make a payment in cash, the fee is discounted to $800. The deposit would be $400. The student DOES NOT NEED A PERMIT to start the class. Actually, it may be beneficial to attend a few classes before attempting to obtain a permit. Please arrange for your permit test months in advance.
