Wiregrass is excited to announce that, for a limited time, driver’s education classes will be free. 

Learning to drive is a major milestone in a teen’s life.  It’s important for young or inexperienced drivers to learn safe driving techniques.  Joshua’s Law requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and six additional hours of drive time with an instructor to receive a Class D license. 

Most insurance companies also give a reduction, approximately 10%, on insurance premiums upon successful completion.  Normal cost for the course is $350, but through a tuition scholarship paid for by the Georgia Driver’s Education Commission, it is free through December 2015. 

Class sizes are limited, so it’s important to register early.  Participants must be between the ages of 15 – 18 and possess a learner’s permit.  Those not eligible must pay the $350 tuition, part of which can be tax deductible.

Summer classes being held on the Ben Hill-Irwin campus will run Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. June 22 – June 25, July 13 – July 16 and August 3 – August 6.

Classes for the Coffee Campus are June 15 – June 18, and July 20 – July 23. 

The Wilcox Adult Education Center will hold classes on four consecutive Saturdays July 11, 18, 25, and August 1. 

School year options will run four consecutive Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. On the Ben Hill- Irwin campus those dates are September 5, 12, 19, and 26; October 3, 10, 17, and 24; and December 12, 19, 21, and 22.  For the Coffee Campus the dates are September 5, 12, 19, and 26; November 7, 14, 21, and 28 and December 12, 19, 21, and 22.

To ensure your space in the class, a completed registration form and a copy of the learner’s permit must be submitted.  To download the registration form, visit Wiregrass.edu or contact the Coffee and Ben Hill -Irwin Campuses for more information by calling (229) 468-2218.
