As the longest-operating Driver's Education Program in the State of New York, for over 55 years, we have proudly served the community, Westchester County, and beyond. Giving countless students the tools, education, experience, and confidence to be safe and responsible drivers.

Eligibility:

• Open to ALL high school students (who attend school within or outside of Westchester County) who are residents of NY state.
• Students must be at least 16 years old at the start of the program.

Overview:
 

• The program is offered three times during the year.

Program Details:

The NYS Dept. of Motor Vehicles recently updated its licensing procedures. This may be especially confusing for parents who have had children complete this program previously. Full details will be provided throughout the course. As a resource, we can be contacted at any time during or after the program has ended with questions to assist with any issues that arise.

Students who complete the course will receive the following: 

1) the ability to sign up for their Road Test,

2) the privilege of receiving their Full Unrestricted Driver's License one year earlier than normal at the age of 17 (previously referred to as the MV285 Course Completion Certificate), and

3) an insurance letter providing a potential auto insurance rate reduction or discount (contact your insurance company for details).

A "5-Hour" Pre-Licensing Course Completion Certificate (MV-278) is also INCLUDED in this program. This certificate can be provided during the course and will allow eligible students to sign up for their Road Test.
