Proficiency tests are offered to students who are at least 16 years of age or have transferred from another state and possess a valid learner’s permit. Any eligible student may enroll in the classroom phase; however, the Division of Motor Vehicles will determine which students will be allowed to take behind-the-wheel training. Students removed from the program for disciplinary reasons or who drop out for any reason will have to make arrangements to finish their training privately through another source at their expense.
