What you need to know

We are offering the pre-licensing course also known at the 5 hour course ONLINE via ZOOM. You can register online or call to register over the phone from ANYWHERE IN NYS. The 5 hour course is approved and licensed by the NYS DMV. To register for the course you need to have a NYS photo learner permit or an interim learner permit and a NYS non driver ID. Upon completion of the course we will mail an MV-278 certificate to your home which you can use to schedule a road test. We are offering the course every Monday and Thursday starting at 5pm, every Saturday starting at 10am.

Everybody in NYS that wants to apply for a NY drivers license has to attend a pre-licensing course after receiving the PHOTO LEARNER PERMIT in the mail. This is the second of the three steps everybody is required to take in NYS in order to obtain a drivers license. Since April 2018 the DMV requirement for attending the course is to have the PHOTO PERMIT (which arrives in the mail about 2 weeks after passing the written test), and the temporary interim permit is not sufficient to attend the course unless the student also has a photo non driver NYS ID as well. Having the NY photo ID along with an interim permit allows you to attend the 5 Hour Course.. This Pre-licensing Course, also known as the 5 Hour Course, is a mandatory theory course offered in our office via ZOOM in Mount Kisco, at 25 E Main St, second floor every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:00pm and every Saturday at 10:00am. The 5 Hour Course is done in the office and it consists of a video and a lecture. There is no test at the end of the course and the students get an MV 278 DMV certificate upon completion. The 5 Hour Course teaches students about the rules of the road, about the consequences of drinking and driving, the importance of wearing a seat belt and how to become a safe driver. This certificate MV-278 is valid for one year from the issuing date. During this time, the student can schedule a Road Test with the DMV. Please send a message online from our website or call the office if you would like to reserve a seat in any of our classes.
