GOVERNOR CUOMO ANNOUNCES DMV LICENSED DRIVING SCHOOLS CAN NOW CONDUCT DISTANCE LEARNING PRE-LICENSING COURSES
 
NYS DMV Has Issued Guidance to Driving Schools Allowing Them to Conduct Pre-Licensing Courses Using Established and Secure Technology, Such as Zoom, WebEx, Go To Meeting and Skype
 
Distance Learning Courses Will Meet Demand for Driver Training While Adhering to Social Distancing Guidelines as COVID-19 Public Health Crisis Continues
 
 
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that DMV licensed driving schools can now conduct distance learning Pre-Licensing Courses. Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis, driving schools across the state have been unable to offer the Pre-Licensing Course - also known as the five-hour course - to students. In order to safely meet the demand for driver training while adhering to social distancing guidelines, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has issued guidance to driving schools allowing them to conduct Pre-Licensing Courses using established and secure technology, such as Zoom, WebEx, Go To Meeting and Skype.
 
"As we continue establishing a new normal it's important to be flexible in how we administer certain services including the process for getting a driver's license," Governor Cuomo said. "The pre-licensing course is critical for New Yorkers to learn how to drive safely, and allowing driving schools to teach this course remotely will allow courses to resume without risking the health and safety of those participating."
 
Any DMV licensed driving school that is currently authorized to teach Pre-Licensing and chooses to conduct the course via distance learning technology
