NY 5 Hour Pre-Licensing Course

*You must bring your Learner’s Permit with you to the 5 Hour Course.*

This is a DMV-approved, standardized course that provides the knowledge you will need as a new driver. The course covers many important topics, including:

-Driving within the highway transportation system
-Driver habits and skills
-Feelings, attitudes, and risk-taking
-Alcohol, other drugs, and driving

When you complete the Classroom Pre-Licensing Course, you will be given a Pre-licensing Course Certificate (MV-278). If you complete a high school or college Driver Education course, you will receive a Student Certificate of Completion (MV-285), and you do not need a Pre-licensing Course Certificate (MV-278). Unless you have taken the Online Pre-Licensing Course, you must have one of these certificates to schedule your road test. You must bring the original certificate to your road test to turn in to the license examiner.

* The Pre-licensing Course will not give you hands-on driving instruction.

The cost of this course is $45 per person.
