Drivers Education Package Details
Drivers education is ideal for the novice driver. Our 8-hour classroom training will cover topics regarding the rules, risks, and reality of life on the road. Classes are currently held one Saturday a month and are required to be completed prior to behind the wheel lessons.
Driving lessons are scheduled in 2 hour time slots, one-on-one with an instructor. We will not allow more than 2 hours of driving in one day.
NOTE: Due to high demand, the wait time to schedule after-school driving lessons is unusually long.
We are State of Alaska certified and approved third-party road test examiners for the Department of Motor Vehicles. Our beginner and advanced packages include one road test which is available to use once the student is ready and eligible. Taking our course does not guarantee that you will pass your driving test.
Once a package has been purchased you must complete lessons within 6 months.
Are you ready to take the road test?
For the safety of our examiners and the community, we will only conduct road exams, in our company vehicles.
