What You'll Learn

Our comprehensive beginner driver lessons cover everything you need to know to become a confident, responsible driver:

Learner's Permit: We'll guide you through the process of obtaining your learner's permit, including completing the MV-44 form, providing proof of identity and date of birth, and passing the vision and written permit tests. Our instructors will help you study for the written test and provide you with valuable tips and resources to ensure you pass on your first try.
In-Vehicle Driving Lessons: Our expert instructors will provide you with hands-on, supervised practice driving. You'll learn essential skills such as:

Cockpit drill and safety checks: Before each lesson, your instructor will guide you through a thorough cockpit drill and safety check. You'll learn how to adjust your seat, mirrors, and steering wheel for optimal visibility and comfort, as well as how to locate and use important controls such as turn signals, windshield wipers, and headlights.
Moving away and stopping: You'll practice smooth and controlled acceleration, braking, and stopping. Your instructor will teach you how to gauge the appropriate amount of pressure to apply to the accelerator and brake pedals, as well as how to come to a complete stop at stop signs and red lights.
Signals and road positioning: Proper use of turn signals and lane positioning are crucial for safe driving. Your instructor will teach you how to signal your intentions to other drivers and how to maintain proper lane positioning, especially when turning or changing lanes.
Junctions, roundabouts, and hazard awareness: Navigating intersections and roundabouts can be challenging for new drivers. Your instructor will guide you through various types of junctions and teach you how to safely enter and exit roundabouts. You'll also learn how to identify and respond to potential hazards on the road, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and adverse weather conditions.
Parallel parking and reversing: Parallel parking is often one of the most dreaded tasks for new drivers. Your instructor will break down the process into easy-to-follow steps and provide you with plenty of practice opportunities. You'll also learn how to safely reverse your vehicle in a straight line and while turning.
Highway driving and independent driving: As you progress in your lessons, your instructor will introduce you to highway driving. You'll learn how to safely merge onto highways, change lanes, and maintain appropriate speed and following distance. You'll also practice independent driving, where you'll navigate to a destination using a map or GPS, simulating real-world driving scenarios.

DMV 5 Hour Pre-Licensing Course: In addition to your in-vehicle lessons, we offer the mandatory MV-278 course, which is required before you can schedule your road test. This 5-hour course covers important topics such as defensive driving techniques, the effects of alcohol and drugs on driving ability, and traffic laws and regulations. Our engaging and interactive course is designed to reinforce the skills you've learned in your driving lessons and prepare you for the responsibilities of being a licensed driver.
Road Test Preparation: After completing your 50 hours of supervised practice driving, we'll help you schedule your road test appointment and provide you with a car rental for the test. We understand that the road test can be nerve-wracking, which is why we offer thorough road test preparation. Your instructor will take you on the actual test route and provide you with valuable feedback and tips to help you feel confident and prepared on test day.
