All of our instructors have had college courses in driver-training and teaching techniques--in addition to our own rigid training classes. Each has been carefully selected after extensive competition wherein they ranked at the top of their class.

The first lesson is 45 minutes in duration and is strictly private. Our instructors pick you up and return you to your home or place of business at the end of each lesson.
The second and subsequent lessons are taught for 11/2 hours (a double lesson). Our in-depth research has proven that students will learn faster and retain more by covering two lessons at each appointment.
Toward the end of your instructional period, arrangements can be made with your instructor to combine four consecutive lessons into one long trip. A trip of several hours duration can be made to any upstate location. Discount packages are also available upon request.
