California law requires minors to have 6 hours of behind the wheel driver training with a licensed driving instructor. Successful completion of a written test is required before starting driver training. We also offer online drivers education classes to prepare you for the written test.
Drivers Training
Our program consists of (3) 2 hour lessons with free pick up and drop off from home, school, work, or whatever suits student’s schedule. We space the lessons out a bit to give the students practice time between lessons.
Our lesson plans may vary depending on the skill level of the student. Items may be added or removed at the discretion of the instructor.
We offer lessons 7 days a week. Mornings (even before school), afternoons, and evenings. We do our best to accomodate all schedules.
With our combined 30+ years experience, we not only equip students with the skills needed to pass the DMV drive test, we teach defensive driving, courtesy on the road, and best practices.
Our lesson plans vary depending on the needs of the student. We teach at the students pace not ours.
