What you need

Questions people ask

Is an online class accepted by the DMV?

Yes. This is a live, instructor-led class licensed by the New York State DMV. You get the same MV-278 certificate as an in-person class.

Do I need my permit first?

Yes. You need a valid NYS learner permit before taking the class, because your certificate is tied to it.

How do I get my certificate?

Your MV-278 is ready the day after class. We mail it to you, or you can pick it up at 495 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn. There's no extra charge for either.

How long is the certificate good for?

The certificate expires one year after your class date, so book your road test within that time.

I don't live in Brooklyn. Can I still take it?

Yes. The class is on Zoom, so you can join from anywhere in New York City or the state.

What's the total cost?

$39. That includes the class, your certificate (mailed or picked up), and a free road test checklist.

Your instructor

Mark Millar, owner and instructor at Focus Auto Driving School

I'm Mark Millar. I've been teaching people to drive in Brooklyn since 1988 and opened Focus Auto Driving School in 2003.

I teach the 5-hour class live, not as a recorded video, so you can ask questions about the road test as we go.
