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

This course is ideal 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.

Teens looking only for extra practice will only need a permit, but the teen/parent must specify they are only seeking extra practice during registration.
