*Course is completed when student has completed 30 hours of class. BEHIND THE WHEEL INSTRUCTION: Eight hours of driving instruction. Begin your driving instruction well in advance of your testing date. (Instructors, Frank Weiss, Amedeo Cannone and John Horrigan) Learner’s Permit required Driving hours (8) are scheduled by appointment after school and/or on weekends. Begin the driving instruction well in advance of the testing date. Lessons usually are scheduled for 1 hour, but may be scheduled in 1/2, 1, 11/2, or 2 hour increments. Instruction includes local driving in commercial and residential areas, and parking skills. Vehicles are dual-controlled. As a follow-up to each structured lesson, we strongly advise an additional 2 to 3 hours of practice driving with a parent. For the student who has completed the 30 hour Driver and Traffic Safety Education course, the learner’s permit must be in effect for at least 120 days (180 days otherwise) before the student can take the road test to obtain a driver’s license. Please note: If a student needs to cancel a lesson, the student is responsible for contacting the instructor at least one day in advance. Failure to do so will result in the student being charged for the lesson. #92 By appointment with instructor 8 hours $360 SHS
