Transportation and Public Safety

• Our course is approved by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) and consists of the required 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of graded behind-the-wheel lessons.  Successful completion of this driver education course is one of the requirements for obtaining a Maryland driver's license.
• Driver Education with Additional Support has the same curriculum as Driver Education, but is taught by a certified MSDE special educator to help all students.  

• Our motorcycle safety courses are available for students looking to add the "M" endorsement to their driver's license. We offer both beginner courses (BRC) and advanced courses (BRC2-LW).
• All motorcycle courses are developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and are recognized and approved by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). 

• A CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) meets standards that are the same for every state; It differs from the Maryland "operator's" or "chauffeur's" licenses. It is required if you drive combination vehicles (Class A), heavy straight vehicles (Class B) or small vehicles (Class C).
