The non-credit course meets four days for 30 hours of classroom training, and is open to students ages 15 and over. WNC's Driver Education Program meets the training requirements to obtain a Nevada driver's license for individuals under the age of 18. The course uses lectures, videos, and hands on activities to cover Nevada driving regulations, basic vehicle control, and driving maneuvers in various environments and situations. The comprehensive course also discusses the added challenges of inexperience and youthful attitudes. Guest speakers bring a wealth of knowledge in the areas of traffic safety and enforcement and insurance.
