Safety Message for Classroom Instruction

Class sizes must necessarily be reduced to comply with 6 feet of social distancing requirements. All students MUST wear a face mask in the classroom. The face mask MUST be worn properly; refusal to do so will result in removal from class. We will clean and sanitize all high-contact surfaces (including doors, desks, chairs, and restroom facilities) daily and prior to the start of each new class.

Students are asked to thoroughly wash their hands prior to the start of each class meeting. Hand sanitizer will be available. Do not attend class if showing symptoms of illness.

Driver's Manual Course for 3 Exam Failures

About the Driver's Manual Course

A DMV approved 8-hour curriculum of classroom instruction for individuals who failed the knowledge test three times and need to take the test a fourth time. When the course is completed, the individual submits their certificate of completion to DMV for a chance to test again.

The course consists of a PowerPoint presentation, class discussion, workbook, and final exam. The final exam is 50 multiple choice questions and a minimum score of 80% is required to successfully pass. If the final exam score is below 80%, you may return to take the exam again at no additional charge. However, per DMV rules, you can only take the final exam once per calendar day.

Course Fee $100

No refund will be issued for missing a class or failing a class. If the class is missed then the course fee must be paid again, course fees will not be transferred to different class dates. In the event that the school is incapable of or unwilling to perform its duty on the date specified, a refund of all fees will be made upon written request. Written requests must be emailed to info@topnotchdriving.net.
