Certificates are only issued to students who attend every class and pass all assignments along with 12 hours of in-car training. Students will begin in-car training after receiving 6 hours of classroom time. Drive labs will be posted at orientation. Students must arrive on time for every class and driving session. Within 30 days of completion, a certificate will be mailed to the address on your registration. Replacement certificate can only be issued by DMV.
Missed BHW sessions
A missed driving session can only be made up through prior arrangements with the instructor. If arrangements are agreed upon, there is an additional $50.00hr make-up lab fee. This payment must be made at the Wichita Community Services office prior to making up the driving lab.
Student Conduct
Students that exhibit discourteous or intolerable behaviors in the classroom or driving sessions will be asked to drop from the class (No refund will be issued). Food is not allowed in the classroom or vehicles. Bottled water is allowed.
Driving Requirements Every student is assigned an in-car training partner and no driving sessions will be held unless both partners are in attendance. Operator’s license or permit must be in student’s possession during each driving session. Students will not be allowed to drive while wearing flip-flops, slippers, or high heeled shoes. Corrective lenses, if required, must be worn during driving sessions.
Practice, practice, practice… The 12 hours of experience that students gain during the in-car training is not sufficient to make them skillful drivers. Additional supervised practice is essential. Students are required to drive a minimum of 5 hours outside of class in order to receive a certificate. We recommend more practice.
