A defensive driving class is a 6-hour, in-classroom course that can be taken by students to receive a certificate that can be presented to employers, insurance companies and the State of Georgia. We have a regular class schedule of Sundays from 9:30AM-4:30PM or Monday/Tuesday evening from 6:30PM-9:30PM each evening. Students can either pre-register for class or walk-in before class. Walk-in students should allow at least 15 minutes before the start of class to complete paperwork and payment. We strongly recommend pre-registration for anything that is time sensitive, as it is the only way to secure a seat in class. Pre-registration can be completed either in-person at the school office or by phone at 770-443-1644, Monday-Friday, 10AM-6PM.
A six-hour defensive driving class is $75.
