Behind-the-Wheel Policy


Behind-the-Wheel Scheduling

Once a student has successfully completed the 30 hour Driver Education classroom phase, they will receive a call from one of our Behind-the-Wheel (BTW) teachers to schedule BTW classes. The wait time to receive a call for the behind-the-wheel portion of Driver Education is approximately 25 + weeks after the last day of the classroom phase. At certain times of the year, the wait time for a call to schedule the road lessons for a student may be shorter or longer than 25 weeks. This wait time is based on the number of classes held during a month and the volume of students who take the course at any given time. During high volume times of the year such as Summer Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break, the wait time for the behind-the-wheel phase will likely be longer than the average wait time. If a student does not complete the eye check within their classroom time or if a student is issued a medical call from the DMV, the above time frames will begin once the student's paperwork has been completed and turned into the Jordan Driving School office. If a student has taken and passed the classroom portion of Driver Education and has not been scheduled for BTW within the above listed time frame, please contact Jordan Driving School, Charlotte at 704-566-9900. It is possible that the student's contact information such as telephone number(s) or home address may be incorrect and need to be updated, or the student may not have a completed eye check/Restricted Instructional Permit on file.
