Major Driving School LLC offers the very finest in driver education instruction and has been approved by the Michigan Department of Education. Our school is also licensed by the Michigan Department of State, school license number P000502. We are fully bonded and insured as well as all our automobiles. All private driving schools are required to have the same certifications and approvals by the SOS and DOE.
Students must be 14 years and 8 months by the first day of class. An original birth certificate to verify the student’s age should be brought to the first class. Students are required to have a minimum of 24 hours of classroom instruction. This will consist of 12 class sessions of 2 hours each. Any missed classes will need to be made up at the next class. All materials for the class will be provided at no extra charge. Each student will be given a textbook for use which will need to be returned at the end of class. We use the Michigan Traffic Safety Education Student Manual (2010), approved by the Michigan Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (MDTSEA) and the Michigan Secretary of State.

Behind-the-Wheel Training
Each student will also need to complete 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving along with 4 hours of in car observation. The behind-the-wheel driving will be done in our automobile on the city streets, highways, and expressways of Genesee county. Our car is equipped with dual control brakes and is fully insured for your safety. Depending on enrollment, students may do their roadwork before or after class and then be taken home or to class. If other driving will be needed, the student will be picked up at home or a mutually agreed upon place and then returned to the same. Driving may sometimes be done on weekends. In some classes, the driving may have to be done after the last day of class and possibly take part of the next several weeks to complete. All class work and road work must be completed in 6 weeks. Every effort will be made to make the driving as convenient as possible for each student.
