Students will practice on the road with one of NETTTS' driving instructors who come from the industry and have experience behind the wheel.

Instructors will take students on different driving routes around town and on the highway. Driving side-by-side with a trainer, students will learn upshifting and downshifting to help give the hands on experience and confidence needed for the exam and the job.
