5 Hour Class

The Pre-licensing Course, also known as “the 5-hour course,” is a DMV-designed classroom course that provides new drivers with information which will help them drive safely. New drivers must complete this course (or a New York State approved Driver Education Course) before they can schedule their driving test for their driver license. For many students, the course provides the only formal training opportunity to gain knowledge of the basic rules of the road, safe driving principles, defensive driving skills, and other factors which affect driving.
