For the Teen course, a $300.00 deposit is required to secure a seat in the class and the balance must be paid within 7 days of the first class. All adult packages must be paid in full before drives can be scheduled. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and the Discover card which can all be used on our secure website.

The State of Washington joined thirty other states to enact a graduated licensing program designed exclusively for teen drivers. This program limits what a new teen driver can do in order to allow the teen time to fully and safely learn the rules of the road.

A teen must be at least fifteen [15] years of age on the very first [1] day of the class. No exceptions.

• The teen must first complete a thirty hour classroom course with six hours of Behind-the-Wheel drive lessons and one hour of the student observing another student driver.
• After completing the course with an 80% score on all classroom work, and passing the school’s driving test, the teen is expected to continue practicing with parents, gaining at least fifty (50) hours of driving experience with at least ten hours driven at night.
• If the teen driver, after paying all testing fees, passes the Department of Licensing approved Knowledge and Skills exams with a score of 80% or higher, then at the age of 16, or if already 16 years of age, they are eligible to get their license. A teen must be in possession of a permit for six months to be eligible to get their license.

You must bring your permit or any valid driver’s license (if applicable), glasses if they are required for driving, and you must wear slip-on or tie-up shoes, no flip-flops or slippers on driving days.

Yes, if the instructor’s schedule matches with your schedule, you may certainly sign up with that same instructor.

Absolutely! Our Instructors encourage all parents to join a drive to see how their child is doing; and on how we give instruction. We also welcome feedback from the adults after the drive is complete.

• The Washington State Graduated Driver License Program limits the driving activity of new drivers.
• For the first six [6] months, no other teen can be in the car unless that teen is an immediate family member. If the teen is violation-free for the first six [6] months, he/she graduates to the next level; the teen is now allowed to have up to three [3] other teens in the car. However, for the first [1] year of driving, a teen driver is not allowed to drive from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.

While there is no classroom curriculum for adults, we do offer Behind-the-Wheel training that is specifically targeted for adult drivers. Also, any adult is welcome to join the Traffic Safety Education Course (and many do!) because of the vast amount of driving information that is taught in the course.
