Course Code of Conduct

Just a few house rules: 1) Don't miss class or driving lessons.  You must receive the full 30 hrs. of classroom and 6 hrs. behind the wheel training in order to receive your certificate of completion.. 2) Don't be late.  Not only do you miss out on material, it's really unfair to your fellow classmates. 3) Eating and drinking will be allowed only on class break and in designated area. 4) Cell phones.  Not in class and definitely not in the car.  You can check your message and make calls during class break or between driving lessons.  5) Student must have on their possession a valid Hawaii learner's permit before each BTW lesson. 6) No slipper or high heel/bottom shoes for behind the wheel training.  Shoe bottom must not be more than 1 inch.  7) Be ready to learn!   Per Hawaii State Law......... According to Hawaii State Law, Chapter 19-122-251(5), students under the age of 18 years of age cannot complete a Driver's Education Program and certification in less than a 6 week period. Don't be fooled by others who may entice you into thinking you can finish their Driver's Ed course in a couple of weeks. It's not only illegal but could be cause for revocation of your certification. Let's take our time and learn correctly. Learn the WONG WAY!!!
