With professional driver's training, you can receive your license at 16 years and 90 days (3 months). Without professional training, you must wait until you're 16 years and 270 days (9 months). However, regardless of your age you MUST HOLD YOUR LEARNER'S PERMIT AT LEAST 180 DAYS before getting your license.

Use our calculator to see exactly when you can get your license.

The class is 30 hours long and legally you're not permitted to do more than 3 hours a day, so you should plan on at least 10 days. You have up to 91 days to complete the class once you register.

With professional driver's education, like that offered from Premier Driving Institute, you can get your Driver's Education Permit once you turn 15 years old. (Driver's Ed Permit)

Without professional driver's education, you must wait until you are 16 years old to obtain a standard Learner's Permit.

You will recieve an email with the CDE form from Premier Driving once you complete your purchase. Study for the written exam and take this form to the BMV and take your permit test.

We normally like to schedule 1 hour per week with students, especially in peak seasons (spring & early fall).  We encourage you to spread out your hours with us so you can practice the manuevers we've covered with your parent/guardian.  

Legally, we can NOT schedule more that 3 hours per week with a student.  

No. If you complete the entire Driver's Ed course with Premier, you may opt to take the drive test with us! When you complete the course, use our online registration to schedule your test. Please note: During peak times we schedule up to 3 weeks out. Don't delay, especially if you're trying to get your license A.S.A.P. Also, students cannot take the test on the same day as their 6th (final) lesson.

You may schedule anytime! Simply log in to your student portal to use check our schedule. If you don't see a time that works for you, please keep checking as we update the schedule frequently.

However, the new weekly schedule comes out on Thursdays, so during peak driving seasons* you may want to check on Thursday to better your chances of getting a time slot for the following week.  Please note, we generally schedule one weekly lesson per student during peak seasons.

*peak driving seasons are dependent on volume, however, generally this is spring and early fall(due to the large number of summer students).  Once school starts, our available drive times are USUALLY restricted to after school hours.  However, we do have some instructors available during the daytime all year long.   

The minimum is 10 days for the 30 hour online class.  

The 6 hours of BTW training are one-hour sessions.  In most cases we do one session every 2-3 weeks (which allows for practice at home in between sessions).  However, in some cases we can do 2-3 hours per week.  The state only allows 3 sessions per week, per student. 

Most of our students can take advantage of the self-scheduling option online by using your username and password (you recieved this in your email upon registration).  If you do not see any available appointments, please check back often.  Schedule openings get added almost daily.  **Some areas may not be available for self-scheduling yet. 

If your have completed the classroom portion with Welcome Driver, you must print off your Completion Certificate (it has a passing percentage & signature from a Deborah Munitz).  Check your email from Welcome Driver.  

You will also need the Completion Certficate from Premier Driving you received after your test as well as your Driving Log of Hours from the BMV. 

Simply take these records to the BMV once you have held your permit for at least 180 days AND  you are at least 16 & 90 days old.
