Earning a driver’s license has long been a rite of passage for teenagers. Nova is pleased to offer both In-Class Instruction and Behind-The-Wheel (BTW) Lessons to teens throughout the Chicagoland Area. To earn a driver’s license, teen students must complete both a classroom and Behind-The-Wheel (BTW, also known as “Range”) course, in accordance with Illinois requirements.

COMPLETE COURSES OPTIONS

CLASSROOM + BEHIND-THE-WHEEL LESSONS

Typical class schedules are twice/week – Mon/Wed, Tues/Thurs, or Sat/Sun. Summer and special holiday hours also include Mon-Thurs (four times/week). Students must complete all classes and classwork, but can only miss up to four sessions.

Students also enrolled in BTW lessons are eligible to take their permit exam after their fourth day of class.

If none of our currently planned classes fit your teen’s schedule, we will work with you to create a custom lesson schedule. Contact us for further information.

Contact us also for partial payment options (get started with classroom, and finish payment for range hours at a later date).

PARTIAL COURSE OPTIONS
(BEHIND-THE-WHEEL LESSONS ONLY)

Behind-The-Wheel programs are for teens who have completed classroom hours at their high school, but still need to do range/traffic or behind the wheel. Teens who want state certification will need to provide proof of in-class completion with a passing grade, and complete all minumum driving hour requirements.

Students needing just extra practice will only need a permit, but the teen/parent must specify they are only seeking extra practice during registration.
