Behind the wheel instruction is the cornerstone of quality drivers education. Students apply what they have learned in the classroom, driving laws and theory, and make immediate use of it behind the wheel of our instruction vehicle. Our behind the wheel curriculum meets the standards of the State of Georgia and all instruction is completed in a State certified vehicle for driving instruction.
Behind the wheel driving is completed in 2-hour sessions. Behind the wheel driving packages range from 6-hour packages up to 20-hours. A traditional drivers education course, the kind that makes a student eligible for a 10% discount off insurance premiums and $150 back from the State of Georgia, includes 6 hours of behind the wheel driving (creating a 30/6 Drivers Education Course). During six hours of behind the wheel, a student goes from the parking lot to the interstate.

8, 10, and 12-hour packages:
After the first six hours of instruction, your students training becomes more personalized. We spend more time covering their weaknesses and practicing with them the techniques they need the most help with.
16 and 20-hour packages:
Our 16 and 20-hour packages cover the standard course instruction, go back over the students weaknesses, and then provide a bulk amount of experience behind the wheel. These packages are best for students who do not have regular access to a vehicle for extra practice at home.
