Dear Parent/Student,

Thank you for inquiring about the upcoming driver education classes. The potential prevention of one car crash is well worth the price of a driver education program. Enrolling your son or daughter in a driver education program is an investment in their future towards becoming a safer driver. Statistics show that graduated licensing programs have saved many lives.

DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM – Consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of behind the wheel instruction as required by law.

TUITION - is $399(+ tax)* when you register and make payment at least 10 days before the first day of class. Otherwise, please pay the regular tuition fee of $425(+ tax)**.

        Note that depending on the session, there is one or two meetings that at least one parent per student are  required to attend. Please refer to the schedule for appropriate day(s) and time(s).

All instructors are State of Hawaii, Department of Transportation certified.

Subject to Hawaii State Law, Chapter 19 - 122-251 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules requires that the driver education program (including classroom and behind the wheel instruction) be not less than six weeks long.  When taking classroom instruction from one school and BTW instruction from another, instruction with each school must be taught over a period no less than 6 weeks long.  When taking the classroom and BTW instruction from the same school, it may be taught concurrently over a 6 week period of time.

CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION - Year-round classroom sessions are ten each 3-hour classes. Our Spring, Summer, Fall, and Christmas break classroom sessions are either five each 6-hour classes, or eight each 3 3/4-hour classes. It is recommended you register early for these sessions.
