​FAQ 

Q:  "What happens if I cannot pay the balance for the Behind-the-Wheel portion on the morning of the Classroom portion?  

A:   No worries.  Adult students may make arrangements to delay payment of the Balance for a limited time, however please be aware that the Behind-the-wheel (Driving) Sessions can not be scheduled until that portion of the class has been paid so this may delay your first drive date.

Lunch break...
Q:  "Will students take a lunch break?"
A:  We will take a short break approximately half way through the class.  Students may eat quietly during the instruction period as well.  Students may bring a lunch and drink (refrigerator and microwave are available).  Due to the short break period, leaving the premises during lunch is discouraged as the course will resume promptly at after the break.
