Program Details

JCCC's program consists of an eight-hour face-to-face classroom course, plus six behind-the-wheel driving lessons.

  • Prior to the classroom portion of driver ed, parents and students will be invited to attend an online meeting hosted by the instructor. During this meeting the instructor will discuss the course structure, drive time sign-ups, required forms, and answer any questions.
  • Throughout the day, students will be presented with course content, discussions, activities and videos that teach the basic principles of car control, the mechanics of turns and parking, the driver's physical and psychological factors in driving and Kansas driving laws.
  • The course will conclude with the Kansas Driver's handbook test and final exam, which a student must pass to successfully complete the classroom portion of the course and progress to in-car drive lessons.

Students will schedule their six behind-the-wheel lessons with their instructor. Lessons typically begin within one to two days following the course. Normally the behind-the-wheel lessons are completed within four to six weeks.

Students will need to successfully complete all drive lessons, demonstrate the necessary drive competencies and pass all classroom portions of the course to complete the course in its entirety.
