Get ready to learn how to drive! This fun class has 30 hours of classroom learning. You will learn the rules of the road and how to drive safely. You will also get 6 hours of driving practice with an instructor.
You must come to all classes. You need to finish all 30 hours before you can take your permit test. After you finish the class, you will be matched with a driving instructor. You will also get your blue E-card so you can take your permit test.
