During the summer months, JWP Community Education offers behind-the-wheel training. By law, you are required to successfully complete 6 hours behind-the-wheel with a qualified instructor in order to take Minnesota’s driving road test. Once you take the 6 hours of behind-the-wheel you will be one step closer to getting your license.
After you turn 16, and when you have had your permit for 6 months and have successfully completed behind-the-wheel, you will be able to set up an appointment with an Examination Station.
The cost of behind the wheel will cover the price for the instructor, gas for the vehicle, insurance for the vehicle, and wear and tear on the vehicle.
Dependant on instructor availability, there may be some spring hours for behind the wheel as well. If you would like to get your hours in during the spring, please contact the Community Education office for more information.
Each session is blocked off into a two-hour session. If possible, your son/daughter will be paired up with another classmate and each of them will drive for 1 hour. Driving sessions usually start the first part of June and run through the summer.
