Which class should I take?

Take the class that best corresponds to the amount of your driving experience and best fits into your schedule

For example, if you are a new driver, take the new driver workshop.

If you’re a senior (65 years old and older), you can take the Automotive 101 education workshop or the Senior Drivers class, but we suggest that you would probably get more out of the Senior Drivers class. However, if there aren’t any senior classes coming up immediately, take the Automotive Education 101 workshop if it fits better in your schedule.
