FAQ

  1. What if I miss a class or two?, Is that okay?
    • Answer: According to state law, each session missed must be made up. This is done usually in the next class. If you miss day 5 and 8 for example, you will come back to a day 5 and 8 of a future class.
      • Missing class does NOT delay you getting your instruction permit, however you must complete all sessions in order to get your license.
      • There is also an alternative makeup plan that we may do on a case by case basis. (substantial report).
      • We do recommend that student's keep absences to a minimum, however, it is common to have students absent for class sessions.
      • There is no law that prevents you from missing any number of class sessions for legitimate reasons.

  3. I need to pick up my temps application, when will there be someone at the office to sign it for me?

We are able to complete 13% more lessons this way, thus making it easier to complete your lessons not more difficult.
