How does the DMV Drive Test Waiver Work?

If a student between the ages of 15-17 takes and successfully completes our program, the certificate issued at the end of the course will waive the DMV drive test.

We do not conduct or do the DMV drive test. When a student completes our program DMV is recognizing that the drive section that they pass with our program meets or exceeds their standards of a drive test.

Students who are 18 and older or turn 18 during the course will still need to complete a driving test at the DMV after completion of our program.

What is the low income subsidy?

There is a $75 State subsidy program making the cost $295 for applicants that qualify for the Free and Reduced lunch program and/or the SNAP or TANF programs. Show eligibility letter from the school district, from SNAP or from TANF. Home school students can qualify through the school district they are in.

(This benefit applies only to students under 18 years of age and without a license.)

What if I turn 18 During the Course?

If you turn 18 during the class (this is typically noticed by the office at the time of registration) you will be charged the full cost of the program ($590)

What if I get my license before I complete the course?

If you obtain your license before completion of the course, you will be responsible for the full cost of the program ($590).  This may result in bill of the difference between what you paid and the full cost of the course.
