    Each in-car driving lesson is two hours long (one hour of driving and one hour of observation).  A valid AR permit is required to register for this class.

    Our licensed driving instructor will teach practical skills related to all aspects of driving and help you gain confidence in your driving ability. Topics covered in the behind-the-wheel lessons include things like handling traffic light situations, roundabouts, following distances and help with parking. 

    We offer flexible driving times and pick up/drop off services in Centerton, Bentonville, Rogers (within city limits) and Cave Springs.  If you live outside of those areas, we offer convenient meeting locations.

    With the summer session, we expect all lessons to be completed before school restarts in mid-August.  When our schedule is released in May, students will be able to lock in all 6 lessons immediately on a first come, first served basis.  Payment will be needed before reserving drive times.  

    Our online course can be added to this package for a discounted price of $100.
