TEENS (Classroom Required by Joshua's Law)

You may take the classroom portion at the age of 14, the behind the wheel portion at the age 15. No learner’s permit is required to start the class, regardless of the student’s age.

Barber’s 30/6 Teen Driver Education Program satisfies Joshua’s Law. The basic course consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of private (BTW) Behind The Wheel lessons. After the completion of the basic Teen Driver Education 30/6 Course, a Barber’s Driving School Tester can administer the student’s Georgia Road Test for their Class D or C Georgia Driver’s License when he or she is eligible.

The classroom is 30 hours long and held over a 4 day period from 9am-5:30pm with a lunch break from 12:30-1:30.  The classroom may be completed in-person or on zoom.

All (BTW) Behind The Wheel lessons are scheduled by you, through DriveScout, in 3 hour sessions.   After registering the student you will receive a “Welcome to DriveScout” email.  It will contain your username and password to log in.  Please schedule these lessons ASAP as we stay booked up.  You can schedule now for future lessons.  Do not wait until you are ready, because the present times will not be available.  Barber’s will pick up the student and drop off anywhere in Muscogee County and Ft. Benning for the BTW lessons.

After you schedule the driving lessons, call Barber’s to schedule the Road Test.  This must be scheduled no later then Friday the week before they have held their permit for 1 year and 1 day.  On test day, you will bring the student to Barber’s and we will test them in our car, on our course and with our instructor.  You will still need to take the paperwork to the Georgia DDS to have the license issued.  You will need your ADAP and ATTENDANCE form from your high school.  Request these forms two weeks before you plan on taking your road test.

With an insurance savings of 10%-20% per year, most parents will save close to the full basic

driver education program tuition the first couple of years their teenager is added to their policy.

ADULTS (Classroom not required - Your Option)

It’s never too late to learn to drive! Our adult students can range from 18- 100 years old. No matter how old you are, if you can pass the physical, mental and vision requirements to obtain an Alabama or Georgia Driver’s License, we can teach you to drive.

At Barber’s Driving School, you do not need a Learner’s Permit or any experience to start. We have friendly, courteous, and skillfully trained instructors who will make learning to drive a simple and fun experience. Barber’s is licensed in both Alabama and Georgia to conduct driver education courses.

Each year, Barber’s teaches hundreds of adults of all ages to drive safely and helps them to earn their Georgia or Alabama Driver’s License. We offer free pick up and drop off for your behind-the-wheel training in Muscogee County; however, you must provide your own transportation for classroom training, if you chose a combination classroom and behind the wheel package.

Adults can take the full program, which includes the 30 hours

classroom training, or just (BTW) Behind The Wheel lessons.

(BTW) Behind The Wheel Lessons

Barber’s trains 7 days a week (BTW) Behind The Wheel from 8:00am until 8:00pm.  All Behind The Wheel lessons are private with you and the instructor.  Barber’s uses our late-model, fully insured, dual-brake controlled Toyota Corollas.

Behind The Wheel packages start with a minimum of 2 hours and go up in 2-hour increments: the more hours you purchase, the better the price.  Most beginners need on average 8-12 hours.  This heavily depends on whether you have someone to let you practice at home or not.

If you are already driving and only need help with a specific vehicle maneuver like parking, driving on interstate highways, backing, etc., you may purchase as few as 2 hours.

All driving times are by appointment in 2, 3, 4 or even 6-hour sessions.

All (BTW) Behind The Wheel lessons are scheduled by you, through DriveScout, in 3 hour sessions.   After registering the student you will receive a “Welcome to DriveScout” email.  It will contain your username and password to log in.  Please schedule these lessons ASAP as we stay booked up.  You can schedule now for future lessons.  Do not wait until you are ready, because the present times will not be available.  Barber’s will pick up the student and drop off anywhere in Muscogee County and Ft. Benning for the BTW lessons.

Alisa Miller ManibusanAlisa Miller Manibusan ★★★★★ Barber's Driving School is great! Especially Keith, he is one of the instructors that gives the kids lessons on driving. It was like a 360 from when my son first got his permit to when he completed Barbers. Don't get me wrong he still needed practice but it was amazing at how different he drove after going through the class. Definitely worth the money!Jessica Chapman HendrickJessica Chapman Hendrick ★★★★★ My son has really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Thank you so much for teaching my son safety while drivingBrandy Finley ParsonsBrandy Finley Parsons ★★★★★ Mr.Gary is awesome! I can't say enough good things about him. He is definitely a confidence builder. My daughter, Heidi was late (20 yrs. old) getting started with driving. Not because she couldn't do it, she just wasn't interested. Her brother got his license when he turned 16. Then, the competition had begun. All of a sudden, she wanted her license yesterday. She wanted to drive! She is more mature and older than her brother. So, she could see the big picture. We were sharing a car. 3 people, 2 different schools and numerous extracurricular activities. She was over thinking everything. Scared to drive, scared to make a mistake, scared we could lose all transportation if she got into a wreck.
Gary, was the answer to my prayers! He worked with her and he was perfect for her learning to drive. I was amazed after the first lesson. He built up her confidence and that changed everything. I knew she could do it, but I had to get her to believe it. Everything I tried wasn't working. Now, she is doing great. I greatly appreciate Mr. Gary, and his patience. With both of us. I was extremely worried. I wanted her to safely learn, but not hurt herself or someone else in the process. He was wonderful. He put my mind at ease and Heidi is driving with confidence. I highly recommend Barbers Driving School and, specifically Mr. Gary, for learning to safely drive. Both of my kids have learned from Barbers! Both, had great teachers and exceptional service!
Thanks again!
