No, a 17 year old can take a written test at the DMV to obtain a permit which they can use to drive with anyone over the age of 21.

The online program is equivalent to 30 classroom hours of instruction. Each student completes at his or her own pace. We have students who are able to complete the program in a quick amount of time and others who take longer. It really depends on each student's ability to devote the time to the program.

We ask that each student complete 100% of the course work before requesting drive times.

Our goal is to provide each of our students with a diversified driving experience throughout our training, so we highly recommend varying the time of the appointments. Ultimately, we recommend scheduling appointments for night time, heavier traffic, and lighter traffic to ensure your child is able to experience more unique situations with our instructor. We typically do not schedule more than one driver per week unless time permits. Driving can take up to six (6) weeks to complete.
