This Driver’s Education program for youth ages 15+ is the ONLY local Driver’s Education Program taught by experienced Hastings School District teachers Vicki Davis, Nate Neuman and Erik Dietz. We offer one-on-one, behind-the-wheel sessions allowing for personalized instruction and thorough parent communication. No multi-student behind the wheel in our cars!
The classroom portion consists of 30 hours of classroom teaching, plus 6 hours of behind-the-wheel is scheduled following successful completion of the classroom portion. This program is approved by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Behind-the-Wheel no shows: there is a $50 fee payable to Hastings Community Education for any unexcused absence of behind-the-wheel training. This fee must be paid prior to scheduling another session with instructor, who will accept the fee from you. Students are scheduled for behind-the-wheel according to birth date; oldest first.
Parents and students can expect high-quality preparation for the new driver, with emphasis on mastery of material. Students will take practice tests, including a practice permit test to prepare them for the test at the driver’s exam station.
The road to your driver’s permit and license begins with Hastings Community Education’s Driver’s Ed!
