Please be sure to schedule RANGE followed by the consecutive days of ROAD driving appointments for a total of 7 days.  Once you have scheduled your RANGE day(s), you may choose a different instructor for ROAD DAYS WITHIN THAT GROUP, but all ROAD days should be within that group AND SAME INSTRUCTOR.  You may choose Group A, Group B, Group C, Group D, Group E, Group F, or Group G.  For example: Group E; Range – Road – November 6, 7, 12, 13, 14

*Available IN-SCHOOL Range and Road Instruction Dates and Times:   

• Please complete ten hours of guided practice driving with a valid permit before attending the first range class.

• Please meet your instructor at the DE Tower located on the Driver’s Ed lot at your scheduled time.

A student is required to attend the scheduled days for instruction. If you cannot commit to the scheduled meeting dates and times, please schedule a different session.  Missing days of instruction may cause the student to not meet the required time of instruction, delays in the licensing process, and forfeiture of the $250 fee. Rescheduling of missed days will be on availability only.
