Who can take the Teen Driver's Ed class?

What is the cost of the class and the driving sessions?

Our prices are as follows: 30 hour classroom = $150, 6 hour driving sessions = $350.

Driving sessions are scheduled after classroom is complete, based on availability of our instructors and each individual student.

How long does it take to complete the driving sessions?

We typically have 2 student drivers in the vehicle with the instructor. Driving is scheduled in (6) two-hour sessions, with each student driving for 1 hour each session, and then swapping out.

So, each student should plan to schedule (6) two-hour sessions. The frequency of these sessions depends on instructor and student availability. NC limits students to 2 hours of driving per day.
