Take our comprehensive teen driver education course at our driving school. Gain confidence behind-the-wheel and learn the rules of the road with our North Carolina state-approved driver ed program.

  • Teen Drivers Ed Course - Shelby

    This package satisfies the state requirement to obtain your limited learner permit.

    30-Hour Driver Ed Class
    Classes meet online via Zoom. Students must be at least 14.5 by the first day of class and attend every class to complete the program -- no missed days allowed. An eye exam appointment will be held sometime between these dates. The student and parent must come to the eye appointment together for paperwork.

    Behind-the-Wheel Driving Lessons
    Six hours of lessons meets the state requirement; however, most students benefit from additional lessons to gain more confidence behind-the-wheel and improve skills such as highway driving, parallel parking, and defensive driving. Each behind-the-wheel driving lesson is two hours with private, one-on-one instruction. If you would like more experience driving, you can add more driving lessons for an additional fee.

    A deposit of $100 is required to secure your seat in the class. The final $375 is required by the last day of class to begin driving lessons.
