    Beginner Basic - $499.00
    8 hr Classroom / 6 Hr Behind the Wheel
    Skills Test - 2 attempts
    Knowledge Test - unlimited attempts

    The state required course includes six hours of behind-the-wheel training. This six hour suggested minimum dates back to the 1930's when traffic was very light and the complications of our modern highway systems didn't exist.

    However, even in this short course, aLord Ashley Driving School does a great job of teaching vehicle control skills to prepare students for their driving test and introducing them to the skills and attitudes needed to drive defensively. Many of our students do well with this course.

    8 hr Classroom / 8 Hr Behind the Wheel

    Knowledge Test - unlimited attempts

    This popular course upgrade offers the opportunity for the student to start to develop the necessary habits needed to continue to use the material they learned in the State Minimum Course. Using our technique of Continuous Correct Practice, students are reminded of the necessary effort and commitment needed to develop the necessary skills and attitudes to remain-collision free.
