How many lessons will I need before I’m ready for the DMV test?
It varies with your experience and comfort level, which is why your instructor creates a personalized plan just for you. Most of our beginner students pass their DMV test after just 6 to 10 hours of lessons.

Please bring your learner’s permit if you have one, along with a valid ID. Don’t have your permit yet? No problem — we provide the training car, so all you need to bring is yourself and a positive attitude.
Can I take the required DMV courses online?
