The New York State 5-hour driving class (pre-licensing course) is mandatory before your road test. Take it with Pierre Paul Driving School and get your MV-278 certificate fast.
Pierre Paul Driving School makes the New York 5-hour driving class easy for Sunset Park drivers. We've helped thousands of Brooklyn students earn their pre-licensing certificate, and we bring the same patient, professional approach to every Sunset Park learner.
Whether this is your first step toward a license or the last box before your road test, our Sunset Park students get clear instruction and fast certification.
The New York State 5-hour pre-licensing course is required by the DMV before any first-time driver can take the road test. The class covers defensive driving, traffic laws, alcohol and drug awareness, and safe-driving attitudes. When you finish, you receive the MV-278 (Pre-Licensing Course Completion) certificate — the document the DMV asks for when you schedule your road test.
The 5-hour class is currently held online only — live on Zoom or fully online — so you can complete it from anywhere in Brooklyn. No in-person 5-hour class is available at this time, and you still receive the same DMV-recognized MV-278 certificate.
