Montgomery Colleges Driving School and its instructors are Maryland MVA licensed and certified. Our additional support instructors are dually certified in Special Education. This course, in a small classroom environment, prepares rookie drivers to test for a Maryland driver license. Our 36-hour course consists of 10 three-hour classroom sessions, and 3 two-hour individual sessions using our own cars. This course provides the exact same MVA curriculum as SFT-123 Driver Education, but with built-in supports. Students under 18 MUST be accompanied by mentor (parent, guardian, etc.) and bring a valid learner permit to Day 1 of the Driver Education class. If a student misses the first day of class, they cannot continue and must re-start the course at a later date. Montgomery College educates mentors on how to manage the learning-to-drive experience through our mentor/parental involvement expectations, our 12 driver readiness indicators with self-assessments, and a collaborative approach between mentor and instructor(s).
