Course curriculum consist of 24 hours of classroom instruction and 5 hours of behind-the-wheel driving. The classroom includes 20 hours of instruction on "How to Drive" and 4 hours of the National Safety Council's "DDC-Allive at 25" program. The driving includes 5 hours of hands-on driving and 5 hours of observation. In addition there is a one half hour Behind-The-Wheel Drive Test for Provisional Operators License (POP). Included in the driving is highway/gravel road driving, parallel/perpendicular/angle parking, marked and unmarked streets/intersections, a DMV Pretest, interstate driving, heavy city traffic driving, and valid test drive.

Note: In order to receive the Provisional Operator's Pemit (POP) waiver form, students must attend all sessions and successfully complete both the classroom and behind-the-wheel training. Should a student fail the behind-the-wheel drive test, they will receive an additional drive test at no charge. After the second drive test, the fee is $30.00 per test.
