This Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) required course consists of 30 classroom hours and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving. The College's program adds value through interactive, student-centered classroom methodology and one-on-one, needs-based behind the wheel instruction. Students who satisfactorily complete the program are entered into the MVA portal, which enables them to take the driver's license test at the MVA. Montgomery College educates parents on how to manage their teen's learning to drive experience, beginning with parental involvement on the first day of class. The college expects a collaborative approach between parent and instructor(s) on managing this learning to drive experience. Students under 18 MUST be accompanied by mentor (parent, guardian, etc.) and all students MUST bring a valid learner's permit to the first day of class. If a student misses the first day of class, they cannot continue and must re-start the course at a later date.
