Our programs meet the requirements for you to apply for your driver's license in any state. The in-car lessons are coordinated with the class presentations to maximize learning During the school year to minimize the impact on school work, classes only meet twice a week either in the evening or weekend afternoons. Students can switch between evening and weekend classes offered during the same month without being marked absent. Classes are two hours long and 10 minutes long with a break between the hours. There are no classes on Easter or Memorial Day weekends. During the summer We have a three (3) week session in the month of June which meets five (5) days a week during the day The remainder of our classes meet four (4) times a week and can be completed in four (4) weeks. The classes do not meet on Fridays or July 4th to facilitate weekend activities. Classes are two hours and 10 minutes long with a break between the hours. You can take your "temps" test and obtain your permit at the start of class This allows you to begin the six month waiting period required by the Graduated Drivers License law (GDL) as soon as possible. Audio-Visual presentations are used extensively in our program because 90% of all driving decisions you make are based on information obtained through your eyes There is no homework - no extra work and no written exams. We use an interactive classroom system where the students are presented with traffic situations and must respond to the questions shown on screen. This gives them immediate feedback and allows the instructor to see whether or not the students need more information to understand the material. Scores are emailed at the end of each class. The student must average 80% or better to pass the classroom course. We have combined the "Smith System" with "Zone Control". The Smith System, Introduced in 1950, has stood the test of time and is the only proven method of training drivers. It provides measurable results and is recognized and used by all the major fleet owners and trucking firms, such as Ameritech, FedEx, UPS, etc. to train their drivers.Zone Control was developed by Frederik Mottola, a professor of Traffic Safety for 30 years. This system when used with the Smith System gives very specific procedures that can be used to implement the five steps in the Smith System. The Zone Control System has been adopted in several states as a statewide curriculum and is moving towards becoming the national standard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
