Precision Driving School is the FIRST school to offer this fantastic program! The student will spend Day One in the classroom from 9-5. At the end of Day One the students will be given a take-home packet to read. They will have several days to read through the information. They return for Day Two in the classroom from 9-4 to complete the course. Students will reap the benefits of an instuctor without losing 4 entire days to the classroom.
