What To Expect
What To Expect From Our Driving Lessons
Each in-car lesson is for 1 hour.
It will begin with the Instructor describing the correct procedure for each maneuver that will be covered during that lesson. There will be a maximum of 1 student per vehicle for training purposes. There are a variety of lesson configurations that can be tailored to fit individual requirements.
Basic course outline for 10 hour package. Please note that defensive driving maneuvers are continuously discussed throughout each lesson

All students are issued a Progress Report Card, which will be completed after each lesson.
Parents should continually review this report. To benefit most from our driving program, we strongly recommend that students complete 2 hours practice between each lesson, totaling a minimum of 16 hours.
No driving school can guarantee that a student will pass the road test after a set number of lessons. At Ocean Park Driving School Limited, we will give you an honest evaluation of your driving capabilities.
