When available we drive before and after classroom hours/on weekends and holidays. Option is given to hold last lesson as a review lesson before probation period ends. There is no cost for observation hours.
  3. If you owe money of any kind or have missed classes, you may have to wait to get your driving permit or drive hours. We have six months to complete driving. We strive to complete driving within 60 days of the last classroom date.
