Register for driver education classes on the Internet

Staff Reports

Students can now utilize Western Nevada Community College's online registration system, Web-REG, to register for upcoming driver education classes.

Two classes that meet the requirements for a Nevada driver's license are planned in Carson City and Minden.

Classes are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 2-June 2 at WNCC Carson City and May 12-June 2 at WNCC Douglas.

In the new registration process, students fill out the WNCC Community Education Admission Application at www.wncc.edu/drivereducation and mail, fax or bring it to the New Driver Education office in the WNCC Reynolds Center for Technology, 2201 West College Parkway.

Once this application is processed, normally two days after it is received, students may proceed with Web-REG. By using this application, students will not be accessed a $15 application fee.

The four-day, 30-hour non-credit class combines lectures, class discussion, guest speakers, films and, in Carson City, a computerized driving simulator, to cover Nevada driving regulations, basic vehicle control and driving maneuvers in various environments and situations.

The Nevada Public Agency Insurance Pool, the Public Agency Compensation Trust and State Farm Insurance all support the course.

Classes are open to anyone age 15 and older and cost $105.
