Looking for a drivers education course that does more than just check the box? Sign up your child today for Western Nevada Colleges drivers education course through its Continuing Education Program.
The class is offered April 11-15 from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily with a half-hour lunch break. The cost is $75.
Our program is meant to be engaging for students, so they do more than hear the information they actually learn it! said WNC Continuing Education Coordinator Lauren Slemenda. Students will interact with each other and the instructor by playing games designed to reinforce lessons, and parents will receive daily summaries of what their student learned that day so that they can help emphasize the information at home and during behind-the-wheel practice.
Suzanne Pipho, an educator and experienced WNC employee who has taught her oldest son to drive, will teach the class.
Instruction will include guest speakers from the Carson City Sheriffs Department, DMV and Nevada Department of Transportation who will provide valuable insight into driving safely. The class will conclude with the awarding of completion certificates and a bonus session providing parents with tips for behind-the-wheel practice. This course meets NAC 389.568 requirements for 30 hours of classroom driver education training for students under the age of 18.
