Corliss Driving School
CHOOSING A DRIVING SCHOOL
The most important factor is not the price. It's ALL about the quality of the instructor.
Our commitment to parents is to provide your child with an instructor who has the ability to positively establish a foundation of visual skills, an attitude towards risk and the driving knowledge that will help your child to become a safe and smart driver.
We do this by going above and beyond DMV requirements for licensing instructors by:
- Hiring only credentialed schoolteachers with college degrees or law enforcement professionals (The DMV requires only a high school education).
- Hiring mature instructors with a minimum age of 30 (The DMV only requires age 21).
- Rigorous instructors training both in and out of the car, far exceeding the DMV requirement for licensing (The DMV requires only 40 class and 20 car hours).
- Providing mandated Continuing Education for instructors on a regular basis (The DMV requires 0 hours)
- Actively participating in State and National Professional Driving Associations to be on the cutting edge of driving instruction (The DMV does not require Professional Memberships)
