Driver Ed FAQ

No. Every class is mandatory, there are NO makeup days! Students must be in all 3 classes to complete, if a class is missed the student will have to re-enroll into a new segment 2 class with a re-enrollment fee and restart completely over. Segment 2 is only 3 classes (6 hours total) and no drives. 

Each Segment 1 student can view the available appointments for their location within their account. We cannot guarantee any specific drive schedule or specific driving partners. Our instructors upload almost two months' worth of availability at a time. You should constantly check the portal for available times and dates until you have scheduled your six driving hours.

The State of Michigan dictates you have three chances to pass the written test. You'll need to schedule a make-up day for the testing session. If the test is taken 3 times without a passing score, you must retake the course with a re-enrollment charge. This is a State mandate and out of BSOD's control. We offer the service of reading the test out loud every scheduled test day per course. There are numerous FREE online practice tests available. Simply Google "Michigan Driver's Ed practice test". 

Day 1 is mandatory. If a student misses the first class they will have to re-enroll into a different segment 1 with an re-enrollment fee. If a different class is missed then I offer one free make up day, HOWEVER any additional days require rescheduling and they do cost extra and may extend the completion time of the class and when a certificate can be given. If you believe you are going to miss more than 3 days of a scheduled course, you should NOT sign up for that course and look for another course that fits your schedule better.

You can start Driver Education when you are at least 14 years and 8 months old. For Segment 2, you must meet the requirements of having your Level One License for a minimum 3 months, as well as 30 hours of driving logged with 2 of the hours being night driving. You must be under the age of 18 to take Segment 1 or 2.

Although you can reserve a seat with a deposit, full payment is required on or before the first day for a Segment 1 Class. Segment 2 courses are paid in full to reserve a seat (no deposit option available).

No, you do not need to sign your contract in person. We have it located on your student portal. It will be the first thing that pops up when you log into your portal after registering. You must virtually sign this before using other functions of your portal. You can find a copy of the contract to view or print on the portal afterwards.

If you are not able to finish your course, you can let us know and we will re-enroll you at a later date (as long as you meet requirements). However there is a re-enrollment fee. 

If you fail to show up for a lesson or do not cancel or reschedule on our website at least 24 hours in advance, you will be charged a $35 late cancellation fee.
