Teen Driving

Teen Driving Classes

Ready to Drive? We provide everything you need to become a safe, conscious and courteous driver. Our friendly team and a relaxed teaching environment will allow you to have fun whilst you learn, but also make you the best driver that you can become, but you have to want to succeed, and your parents must also be a part of the team and provide you with the practice you will need.

The first step to getting your license is to pass a Driver’s Education Course. Completion of a California Drivers Education Course is required for any teen under 17 1/2. The majority of new drivers now use state-licensed on-line driver’s education courses because they can be completed at your own pace and are much more affordable. The On-line Driver’s Education Course must meet the requirements of classroom education, and therefore should take students a minimum of 30 hours of coursework.

Behind-the-Wheel Lessons

Once you receive your learner’s permit, you are required to complete 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training with a state-licensed driving school. Additionally, you must complete 50 hours of driving practice with your parents, guardian, or certified instructor.

Our instructor works 1:1 with a student, assesses their skill level and progresses accordingly. Drive Academy offers behind-the-wheel instruction to give on-road experience, and to develop better and safer drivers. An important part of our on-road program is the student and parent debrief. This allows the instructor to speak with both the student and parent about student progress and areas that still need work. 

Course will teach students important topics such as:

• The Foundations of Safe Driving
• Safe and Defensive Driving Techniques
• Rules of the Road
• City, Residential Streets, Freeway Experience
• Signals, Signs and Markings
• Knowing Your Car
• Starting & Stopping
• Parking, Braking and Turns
• Roadway Conditions
• Sharing the Road
• Emergencies
• State Drivers Test Preparation
