Behind the Wheel Program (BTW) for teenagers from 15 ½ – 17 years old
Masks are no longer required. However, you can wear one if you wish to. Although prior experience is not necessary it is beneficial, and the ability to practice in-between lessons is important to the process in learning.
**PLEASE NOTE: Teen’s must complete the Classroom portion of Drivers ED before they can start the Behind the Wheel Program**
The student, your son/daughter, will need to complete the teen program before the age of 18. (18 and older is now required to do the adult waiver program and/or adult driving lessons.)
Our Process
- This programs consists of no less than Seven (7) lessons (per State regulation) – Generally completed within 2-3 weeks.
- Each lesson consists of 50 minutes of driving and 50 minutes of observing the other student driver while listening to the coach’s instruction.
- Pick up and drop off for most students are mostly from home, school or work if all are within the same public school boundaries.
- Choose the public high school that your home is in, choose an available instructor for the 1st lesson or if a special time is needed, together we can schedule that lesson during a phone call.
- When your son/daughter meets with the instructor, together they will schedule remaining lessons to ensure it will not interfere with your son’s/daughter’s activities, and can always be adjusted.
- The three items we need on the first lesson are these:
- Classroom completion card (also known as the Pink Card or DEC 1 card) received upon successful completion of their school’s Driver Education classroom instruction and the parent teen program certification.
- A photo copy of their Learner’s Permit
- Cash, check or money order of $350 for the balance, made out to Aloha Driving (prices are subject to change).
Successful Completion of the Driving Test
- The 7th lesson is the actual driving test. Upon passing, we will issue your son/daughter a Temporary License that is valid for a 6-month period from the validation date or until he or she turns 18.
- If your son/daughter has not held their Learner’s Permit for the required 9-month period, we can still issue the Temporary License upon successful completion of the Driving Test but it will have a validation date as of the 9-month period.
- If your son/daughter has not completed the 45 hours (30 daytime/15 after sunset) of additional driving with another licensed driver, aged 21 or older, we can hold the Temporary License for you until we hear from the parent that this has been completed. The 7 lessons we provide will account for 6 hours towards the 45 hour requirement.
- If your son/daughter is under the age of 18 (15 ½ through 17) and has completed the 45 hours, a parent’s signature attesting to this act is required.
- We send in the required paperwork to the DMV, they process and mail the license to the address on the learners permit. The license will not be forwarded to a different address. The DMV is starting to phase the court ceremony back in and at that point you’ll receive a notice to appear in court for the presentation of the license.
- Note: If the teenager turns 18 during this 6 month period, and he/she has held their learners permit for 9 months, they can take that Temporary License and their Learner’s Permit directly to the DMV and turn it in for their Permanent License.
