COST:
The cost is $499.00 and is payable at the beginning of the course. A payment plan of $175.00 down and $175.00 will be due at the end of the 3-week classroom phase and the remaining balance of $160.00 is due 60 days/2 months from the 1st day of the classroom start date. The total amount must be paid in full within 60 days of the first day of class or there will be a $40.00 late fee applied.
CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION:
There are 24 hours of classroom instruction taught in 12 days. The classes are 2 hours each day, Monday-Thursday for three weeks (unless otherwise stated).
A student is eligible to take their written test for a permit after the first 3 days of instruction (6 hours) and the first 2 tuition payments have to be paid in full. If a student misses one of the first three classes, they must make up the class before they can be issued a permit.
A student is allowed to miss 5 days. The student must make arrangements with the classroom instructor to make up missed days. Should the student miss 6 days it will be necessary to terminate the student from class. This does not mean the student loses their time or money invested. The student will re-enroll in the next available class and continue the course. All classroom hours must be made up and finished within 365 days of the original beginning date, (This Is a State Law Not Alliance Driving School). Failure to do so will result in terminating all credit towards obtaining a driving certificate.
If a student completes the 24 hours of classroom instruction but does not complete the 14 hours of in-car instruction before the contract deadline then the school can grant a variance or execute a new contract only if it is done prior to the completion timeline of the 365 day original contract, for an additional fee of $125.00.
If a student completes less than 24 classroom hours and the year contract timeline ends, the student loses all classroom credit hours and must retake the entire classroom phase, (This is a State Law Not Alliance Driving School)
