The cost of the comprehensive class is $345. In order to register, students must be 15 years old three weeks prior to the start of class.

Classes covering the Indiana Driver's Manual are available for anyone over the age of 15 will be offered May 27-29 and June 24-26 at a cost of $50 per class for three one-hour sessions beginning at 4 p.m. each day.
