Parents are welcome to sit in a classroom session, if space permits. Parents are not permitted to sit in for the behind-the-wheel course since the course requires for students to observe each other during driving sessions.
However, parents are permitted to ride along during individual (one-on-one) driving lessons. Please make prior arrangements with the instructor.
