$150 online registration fee. This fee holds a seat for you in whichever class you choose. If you need to transfer to another start date, contact our office, we will do transfers for no additional fee. If you decide to withdraw from enrollment before the class starts, we will refund all but a $20 administrative fee. Once the course has started, no refunds are offered.

Any remaining balance is due before scheduling a driving lesson. Students are encouraged to schedule and complete 2 or 3 driving lessons during the classroom phase. The remaining lessons occur after the classroom phase has completed. It typically takes 2-3 months to complete the entire course.

Up to 2 attempts of the state knowledge and driving tests are included after the course. ($140 value)
