About

Our Driving Course

Georgia Driving Coach and the Course is licensed by the State of Georgia
- Visit www.dds.ga.gov for State Approved Driver Training Schools, or to find more information about Georgia State Driving Laws and how they pertain to your teen.

We are Exclusive to New Teen Drivers
-Parent's need not to worry about their child in the same building as a potential driving offender, taking a court appointed course.

Required Parent Orientation
-Parents are required to attend the first 35 minutes of the first day, as we will educate them about the driving distractions that teens face today, the TADRA laws, and the Joshua Brown story (Joshua's Law). We also hand out the Parent/Teen Driving Guides that will serve as the checklist and log for items to cover with your teen while driving behind the wheel.

30 hour course uses the AAA Responsible Driving Curriculum
