College To Offer Driver's Education Course

December 14, 2011

Driver's Education is the topic of a Community Education class being offered by Cerro Coso Community College in January. The course will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. at Burroughs High School in the Portable One classroom beginning January 9 and ends February 8, 2012.

Getting a driver's license requires first taking a written driving test, attaining a learner's permit, practicing with a licensed driver, and finally taking the state road test. The class will provide participants with the knowledge they need to be safe and competent drivers and will present beginning drivers with a practical and realistic guide to the fundamentals of driving and the rules of the road.

This course meets the requirements of the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Provisional Permit License, but does not offer behind the wheel instruction. The class takes students step by step from the basics of vehicle control, to the specific dangers of different driving environments, to the responsibilities of vehicle ownership.

There is a $50 class fee and parental consent is required. For complete registration and course information visit us on the web at www.cerrocoso.edu/communityed or contact Stephen Gexler, Community Education Manager at (760) 384-6106 or at Stephen.Gexler@cerrocoso.edu.
