Driver Ed FAQ

We keep all student records for three years. After that time, the records are destroyed.

If you have a Learner's Permit, or have never held a driver's license, you should take the full Driver's Education program. This includes 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of driving practice. This class is required in order to obtain a Provisional License. The 3-hour Drug and Alcohol program is for individuals who have an international license or a license from another country. After completing this course, you must pass both a written test and a driving test at the Maryland state MVA.

You can start the online class at 15 years old. The minimum age for students to start behind-the-wheel lessons is 15 years and 9 months. You must obtain a learner's permit before starting behind-the-wheel lessons.

If you hold a Learner's Permit, your supervising driver must be at least 21 years old and must have held a full license for at least three years. The supervising driver must be seated next to the driver, and must be able to legally operate the vehicle while supervising.

Students are required to practice for 60 hours. Those hours can be done at home with a parent, friend, or family member. The 6 hours in the driving school price are NOT included in the 60 practice hours. We strongly recommend that students make a plan to obtain these hours. You will not be successful without additional practice. We offer practice lessons at $50 per hour if you pay for them. There is a 2-hour minimum, and the lessons must be paid for before scheduling.

Again, additional practice hours are strongly recommended and do not have to be done at our school. You cannot be adequately assessed on your driving ability with just 6 hours from the school.
