Basic Requirements For 5 Hour Pre Licensing Course

By Ruthie Calderon


The pre-licensing course or the five hours course is designed by DMV for new drivers to enhance their safety driving skills. It is a requirement for all new drivers before getting their New York Approved driving license. For some, the 5 hour pre licensing course is the only opportunity to learn safety driving, defensive driving and basic road rules, among other factors that will affect driving.

Training takes place in colleges, high schools or commercial driving schools. These institutions are registered and accredited by DMV to provide the courses. Before enrolling in any institution, check DMV website for the accredited centers. This will give credibility to your certificate since the training centers are always tracked.

Teachers providing this training must be approved by the New York State Education Department. The approval qualifies one to be a certified driver teacher. Driving schools require their teachers to get approval as instructors, and beyond that, possess classroom endorsement. Only approved classroom instructors have the mandate to offers these studies.

A new driver is one who is making an original application to the DMV. This means that persons whose driving licenses were suspended are not required to undergo special training. They are exempted from taking the course. Drivers whose licenses were waived are also not required to train again.

The law defines an approved learning institution as a driving school, agency, municipality or person approved to provide such services by the commissioner. In cases where colleges and high schools provide driving courses Richmond Hill, NY, they must have approved courses on highway safety and general driver training. Their training facilities and design of their curriculum must be approved as well.

The only qualification that is approved is one obtained from an accredited institution. This institution must have been vetted and found to have complied with all licensing requirements. Its curriculum design, mode of instruction and operating licenses must be valid. Their instructors and training facilities must live up to expected standards.

Upon completion, the Department of Motor Vehicles issues a certificate through the training institution. This certificate indicates that the bearer has completed necessary training or has been part of approved research. College driver education courses that were completed within the past two years qualify an individual for certification.

New drivers have the option of participating in an approved research program instead of taking this course. The DMV needs to approve the design, length and type of research for it to qualify a candidate for exemption. The aim of such research programs is to improve driving efficiency and general road safety. It assists new drivers to develop better driving skills.
