Please Note: If you are interested in purchasing multiple packages, the RI permit requires classroom instruction first. Please enroll in the classroom of your choice. If you already have your RI permit, you can now enroll in one of the behind the wheel instruction packages. If you are interested in both classroom and behind the wheel instruction, please note that you must enroll and pay for each service separately.
What is covered in a typical driving lesson?
Every student is different and some require a minimal number of lessons while others require more. First, your driving instructor will conduct an evaluation to determine your skill level. They work with your strengths and weaknesses, anxiety and confidence level, and collaborate with your parents to cover all the necessary skills for the DMV road test.

A 24-hour notice is required for the cancelation of drive times or a $50 fee may be assessed. You must cancel your lesson by logging into your account.
