Teen Driver Ed Classes

See FAQs on How to Register

When a student enrolls in DS Driving School West or Teen Behind the Wheel lessons, they are acknowledging and agreeing to adhere to DS Driving School West's Behind the Wheel scheduling policy. This policy includes spreading out the three BTW lessons over a specific period of time, scheduling lessons during the designated time frame, completing a minimum number of driving hours before each lesson, and scheduling the final lesson at least four weeks before the road/license test. Please see policy on our about page prior to registration.
