Navigator Driving Academy

We can all remember the feeling: that combination of adrenaline and excitement as we slid behind the wheel in our first Driver's Education class. Earning a license is a rite of passage for most teens, but not everyone has good memories of how they reached that milestone.

At Navigator Driving Academy, we believe learning to drive is an important step toward adulthood, and teaching this skill within a positive environment will produce more confident, safety-conscious drivers.Learning to drive is a natural progression for our students. Some master these lessons faster than others, and that's where our experience teaching in class and behind the wheel makes a difference.

Students must provide a birth certificate or passport so we can verify their date of birth. The student has not had a fainting spell, blackout, seizure or other loss of consciousness in the past six months. Our behind-the-wheel hours are separate from the classroom hours.

When trying to decide on the right classroom time and location for you and your teen, please remember that there will be 6 two-hour drive times either before or after class (one hour driving and one hour observing).Drive 6: Evaluation - This is where we put all of the above into a one-hour evaluation drive.

Any person 18 and older that does not have a drivers license MUST go to the Michigan Secretary of State office and obtain a Michigan Temporary Instruction Permit (TIP). Adult drives are scheduled by calling our office or registering on-line to have an instructor call you. Drive times will depend on your availability, our instructor's availability and can be scheduled between 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m., seven days a week.

Also included will be a refresher for the On-The-Road Test with a combination of city, residential and expressway driving. To schedule a Road Skills Test Prep Review, you will need to contact the office to schedule the private session or leave the required information on the enrollment page and a representative will contact you within 24-hours to schedule the session.

They can start taking the class at 14 years, 8 months. When they get their certificate of completion, they have to be 14 years, 9 months to turn it in to the Michigan Secretary of State and get their Level One license. Navigator's Segment One class is 24 hours of class room instruction. Our curriculum is very full and it takes all 24 hours to complete.
