OVERVIEW

At South Jersey Driving School, we offer driver education to help keep you safe and confident on the road.  Whether you’re a first-time driver or you’ve been driving for a while, we have a variety of courses that will help you become more comfortable and knowledgeable behind the wheel.

Below is a list of the classes we currently offer.

sjds-behind-the-wheel

BEHIND THE WHEEL

Behind-the-Wheel driving lessons are available to first-time drivers — whether you’re 16 years old or you’re an adult. The course includes six hours of driving lessons, split into three sessions of 2 hours each.

Upon successful completion of a minimum 6-hour behind-the-wheel course, the student driver will be able to practice driving with someone who has had a NJ driver’s license for three years and is at least 21 years of age.

A “Certified Trained Driver” certificate, to be given to the student’s insurance company for an insurance discount, will also be presented to the student on the final lesson.

If you already have your permit, great!  If not, we easily can help you get it.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING CLASSROOM COURSE

We offer a very valuable Defensive Driving Classroom Course for drivers of all ages, and all experience levels.  In this course you’ll learn incredibly useful tools to approach any driving situation with much more confidence.  Regardless of whether you are a first time driver or you’ve been driving for years, we’ll help you identify what to look out for, and you’ll learn important strategies that will help you best respond to a potentially dangerous situation.

As an added bonus, successful completion of our Defensive Driving course means eligibility for a safe driver discount on car insurance.  And if driving record points are a concern, this course will help you get a 2-point reduction.

We have had so many successful and happy students that we were voted the Best Driving School in Burlington County — thank you!

Here’s what some of them have to say:

  • I wanted to thank you all.  From my first initial phone call with Tony to an informative sit down with MaryBeth, your driving school is top notch.  The level of comfort you have given me and my daughter is great.  The instructor, Mark, was also great with constructive , positive comments which put my daughter's mind at ease and gave her the confidence to take control of her driving.  Your school is a must for any new driver.  You are all making a difference in teenagers' lives.  Kudos!

  • "Everything was great.  Sam felt very comfortable with his instructors.  It was a great experience."

    Anne MineoMother of Sam, Marlton
  • If I had to give out an award for the best business and how it is designed to compliment the family of new drivers, it would be the South Jersey Driving School. From the moment my son and I walked through their doors, till the end of his driving lessons, it has been nothing but professional. From the warm welcome, to the respectful driving instructors, it made us feel so comfortable. The owners Marybeth and Tony and their staff made us feel like part of their family. It was far more than obvious that they cared about their business and us. Honest, knowledgeable, respectful and professionalism all wrapped up into one great business. With Appreciation and Gratitude

    Debbie LorynskiMother of Austin, Burlington Township
  • Thanks again to you and your staff for helping my mother keep her license.  Your instructor, Mike, was wonderful.  If my family, or anybody else, needs driving instructions, I will definitely recommend your company.

  • I just wanted to thank MaryBeth, Tony and Georgefor the outstanding service we received this week.  The refresher lesson was great, and my daughter was well prepared for her test today.  The transport to the test, and guidance she received, were invaluable.  She felt confident and relaxed, which I believe made a huge difference in her test.  I will be sure to recommended your business in the future.  You will be seeing us again in two years when it's my son's turn!  Thanks again!!

  • I was so impressed with the instructors, as well as the owners and the office staff. They truly showed a personal interest in my daughter from the moment we walked in the door. Instructors George and Sean were amazing, and always offered positive reinforcement while effectively communicating what she needed to improve. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their teenager to learn to drive with safety as their first priority.

  • I wanted to thank you very much for working with our youngest son, Austin, as he begins preparations to acquire his drivers license. I really appreciate your company's professionalism. Your drivers, George and Mike, were outstanding, and the treatment we received from you and your office staff was superior as well. My wife and I were particularly appreciative of how you were so willing to answer all of our questions and concerns. Austin is the third of our children to utilize your company, and we have returned because of the great job you have done with our other two daughters. Please feel free to have any of your potential clients reach out to us, if needed.

  • My son took the “Written Test Prep” because he attends a private school that does not offer Driver’s Ed. This class was wonderful and Tony is a great instructor. There is no way my son could have studied the manual and passed the test, but by taking the class he was able to. Not only did he pass the test, but he got a 92 on it! He is now scheduled for his behind-the-wheel classes and is on his way to independence. I highly recommend the Written Test Prep class for anyone struggling to pass the written test or who has not had driver’s ed. in school. It is a well spent hour and a half.
