Question 5

Do you pick up and drop off my teen?

The 30-hour classroom is completed entirely online through your student dashboard. It includes 15 lessons covering Wisconsin traffic laws, road safety, defensive driving, and more.

Does my teen need a permit before enrolling?

No! Your teen can enroll and begin the 30-hour online classroom without a permit. However, they will need a valid Wisconsin learner's permit before starting behind-the-wheel driving lessons. We can help guide you through the permit process.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! We offer 0% interest payment plans on all programs. You can start with as little as $75 down and spread the rest over time. No credit check required—everyone qualifies for a payment plan.
