Not all driver-ed courses are created equal. Do you want to just meet the time
requirements to obtain a license or actually learn how to avoid
crashes? Our driving lessons are done on the street in traffic which is the only place to really
learn!. We do not use valuable time with simulators or driving around in parking lots. We start with the basic
handling skills and progress to more complicated traffic situations.
We monitor your progress at each step using
specific, measurable objectives and give you a progress sheet at the
end of each session.
Lessons are
structured to achieve maximum effectiveness. The lessons start
and end at our classroom so that we can structure each route to
provide increasingly more complex concepts and insure that every
student is exposed to the same experiences. Each session is two (2)
hours long consisting of one (1) hour of driving and an hour of
observation. This is the optimum length of time for maximum
learning.
Our curriculum emphasizes
traffic skills using the Zone Control System which
breaks the areas around the car into "zones", helps the
students to recognize a hazardous situation and offers
specific procedures that can be used to reduce the danger Zone Control System has been adopted in several states as a statewide curriculum and is moving towards becoming the national standard.
The last lesson is an evaluation of your progress. You should schedule your last lesson about two weeks before the road test to make sure
that everything is fresh in your mind and to provide time to practice any skills which you still
have not mastered.
SCHEDULING
Lessons can be scheduled, cancelled or
changed online (24/7) at www.TridentLessons.com
The only scheduling requirement is that the first and last
lessons must be at least 21 days apart. (i.e. If Lesson 1 is
on July 1st the last lesson must be after July 21st.) We
have several scheduling options:
PLAN A (Traffic Skills Course) Spaces the lessons over the
required six month waiting period to keep reinforcing your
skills. The recommended spacing between lessons is three (3) weeks
allowing you to practice six (6) hours between lessons to develop the essential
habits. This will complete your in-car course in about 18 weeks.
This program requires practicing the skills introduced
during the lessons to be effective.
PLAN B
(Handling Skills Course) If you will not be able to
practice at least six hours between lessons it is better to
schedule your lessons closer together so that we can work
primarily on handling skills. At the end of six hours you
should be competent in vehicle operation and can then start
learning to deal with traffic. NOTE: This option does not
qualify for the "Road Trip" Lesson
PLAN C
(Exam Review Course) If you are competent in operating
the vehicle and dealing with traffic and wish only to review
before the road test, after the initial lesson, you should
schedule the remainder of your lessons closer to the end of
the six months so that we can polish your skills. NOTE This
option does not qualify for the "Road Trip" Lesson.
ROAD TRIP LESSON
This is an
optional lesson that is a journey into Milwaukee with emphasis
on the more challenging areas in the city. This lesson is open to any student
in Plan A (Traffic Skills Course) who has reached at least Lesson 5
and has enough practice time to enable them to deal with the traffic
and complex intersections in a larger city with minimum input from the instructor. The
lesson is three hours with the three students
changing places every 20-30 minutes so each
has an opportunity to drive to, from and at our destination.
INSTRUCTION PERMITS
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.
