Please read below for information regarding dates, locations and the registration process
If you have a teen that wants to learn to drive and get a license, you’ve come to the right place! Or, are you an adult that needs a license—we can help you too! Nathan’s offers a comprehensive driver’s training course and lessons in compliance with Georgia law and requirements. And we are currently offering both virtual live and in person courses. Days and times are on the links below.
Nathan's Driving School offers a comprehensive driver's education program. Our 30/6 program includes thirty (30) hours of classroom instruction and six (6) hours of behind the wheel lessons (the minimum required by state law). However, many students benefit from more time behind the wheel, so we also offer packages with additional hours. (For recommendations of how many hours of behind the wheel are needed please click here.)
• We also are certified to conduct road tests for the Department of Driver Services. So, you can take the actual road test to get your license with us rather than dealing with the DDS.
• All classes and in car lessons are taught by state licensed instructors.
• The basic program satisfies the requirements of Georgia’s Joshua Law—which is mandatory for teens 17 and under.
