Five Hour Pre-Licensing
The Five Hour Pre-Licensing course is required for those desiring to obtain a New York State driver’s license. Participants will learn to recognize and define driving as a mental, physical, and social task involving the interaction of the operator, the environment, and the vehicle; to identify factors that can impair a driver’s ability and the legal and moral responsibilities of highway users; and to recognize dangerous drivers and driving situations and how to react safely to protect themselves from possible injury or death by using seat belts. Students enrolling in the Five Hour Pre-Licensing Course must have a valid Learner’s Permit and must bring their NYS Learner’s Permit to class. Note: This class is mandated by New York State and each participant must be in class at the exact starting time listed on your receipt. Late arrivals cannot be allowed in class.

Defensive Driving

The insurance reduction is available only to the principal operator. This course can be taken once every 18 months for driver’s license point reduction and once every three years for insurance reduction. Please bring your NYS Driver’s License to class. Please Note: Each participant must be in class at the exact starting time of 9:00 a.m. Late arrivals cannot be allowed in the class.
