Good drivers pass the test. So we focus on core skills first, ensuring you are set up to be safe and confident for life, before worrying about the test. On your last lesson, we will do a mock test to be sure you are ready!

How Many Lessons do you Need?

Every driver is different, which is why every Coastline lesson is customized for you. Most minors in Colorado require 6 hours of professional instruction, which is three lessons, and we will work with you if it is in your best interest to do more.
