Program information

This 36-hour program is designed for beginning drivers who wish to obtain a Maryland Class C Driver’s License. Students learn from professional, Motor Vehicle Administration-certified instructors who patiently and courteously coach the new driver. Schedules are flexible and include day and evening classes. Drivers are trained in late-model, specially equipped vehicles that are easy to maneuver in traffic and parking situations.

The Driver's Education Program will be presented by Linnel Driving School in collaboration with the college.

Students attending courses are required to present a state-issued photo identification or Learner permit to the instructor to start or complete the course.
