About
Get ready to schedule your road test and earn your driver's license! Our 48-hour evening course can be completed in as little as 16 classes. Suitable for all ages, DCC's course is by far the most cost-effective way to learn proper driving technique and the laws and responsibilities applicable to New York State. Successful completion of the 48-hour course (24 hours of lecture/24 hours of on-road driving instruction/observation) includes the five-hour NYS pre-licensing course required to schedule a road test. You could earn a senior license by age 17 and an approximate 10-15% premium insurance reduction.
