You may use a vehicle with a rear view camera, but cannot use the rear view camera to assist during your drive test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CAN I BOOK MORE THEN 1 HOUR AT A TIME?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Yes. We do not encourage students to book more then a 2 hour lesson at a time. It is often a lot of information to retain and it is best to have some time in between each hour lesson to absorb and practice what you have learned therefore ensuring you are on the road to success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A CLASSROOM SESSION?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The course is designed so that each time students are learning something new. So if you miss a day you must make it up. Here at First Class we understand that things come up and so any one missed session can be taken in an upcoming course we have at no extra charge. You will have to make up the exact day you missed. For example if you miss day 2\/4, you will have to come on the 2nd day of the next date that works for you.<\/p>\n

It is best to try and avoid any conflicting appointments as the course builds on the day prior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
