Many of the classroom instructors Minneapolis Community Education contracts also provide Behind-the-Wheel Training through their own agency and they are able to share that information with students. Students are not required to take Behind-the-Wheel Training with their classroom instructor.

To register, parents/guardians need to create an account/profile and then add the student's information. If the class is full, add your student to the waitlist. If you save payment information while joining the waitlist, we can more efficiently add your student to the class. Payment will not be collected until the student is placed into the class.
