Online Driver Ed Class
How long does it take to complete the online program?
The online program is something we have created that goes along with your on road lessons. It DOES NOT have anything to do with what you've already done for the learner's permit, this course actually teaches you what to do behind the wheel such as right of way rules and various defensive driving techniques. This course takes about 20 hours to complete and can be done at your own pace from the comfort of your own home.
