BHM Community Education offers classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel instruction year-round. Classroom offerings include: Fall A (Sept-Oct), Fall B (Oct-Nov), Winter (Jan-Feb), Spring A (Feb-March), Spring B (April-May) and many sections throughout June and July in the summer. During the school year, classroom is offered right after school (3:45-6:45 pm) 2-days a week for 5-weeks. During the summer, class times include mornings, afternoons and evenings, M-F for 2-weeks.

It is recommended students are age 15 by the last day of classroom instruction, or shortly thereafter, as this is the age the student needs to be to take the Written Knowledge Test.

The fee includes 30 hours of classroom instruction AND 6 hours of behind-the-wheel (BTW) instruction with a licensed teacher. BTW instruction is typically scheduled one-hour each month for six months. Once you have your Instructional Permit, do not wait to be assigned to a BTW instructor so you can schedule your first BTW session.
