WHAT WE OFFER

Driving Courses Designed for You

At Core Driving School, we understand that no two students learn the same way—so why should their path to a license be the same? That’s why we offer a full range of DMV-certified courses tailored to your experience level, schedule, and learning style. Whether you’re a teen just getting started, an adult looking for a waiver course, or someone preparing for a re-exam, we’ve got the right program for you.

From one-on-one training to combo packages and improvement clinics, our goal is to make the licensing process as smooth, safe, and stress-free as possible. We work with you step-by-step to ensure you're not just ready to pass the test—but to drive confidently for life.
