Driver's Education

Montgomery College's Driving School is Maryland MVA licensed and certified. Our instructors are professional educators with over 20 years of experience teaching. We go the extra mile to teach safe, mindful and defensive driving techniques that diminish distractability. Our 36-hour course consists of 10 three-hour classroom sessions, and 3 two-hour individual behind-the-wheel driving sessions using our late model cars.

Important Information about Driver Education Courses:

 All behind-the-wheel lessons begin and end at Rockville Campus. Please meet your instructor on time for lessons.

Be advised that while Driver Education schools are accomplished at making judgement and sharing insight on driver skills, none are authorized to make determination or prognosis on whether a rookie driver can or cannot drive on Maryland roads. The responsibility lies with the parent/guardian and the state of Maryland on whether this student should share Maryland roads. Participation in our Driver Education program is open to all students. However, students with conditions identified by COMAR 11.17.03.02-1 "Reportable Medical Conditions", must be reported to the MVA and Medical Advisory Board as instructed. Please view online instructions at:Customer Self-Report of a Medical Conditionnew window. Any Restricted Learner Permit or Driver License will be evaluated by us to ensure we can teach under those conditions identified by the MVA/Medical Advisory Board (MAB) .
Also be advised that during behind the wheel instruction, Montgomery College reserves the right to stop the behind the wheel lesson if any student demonstrates safety concerns. At this point, the student may be referred to screening to determine driver readiness.
