Distance Learning

Safeway is pleased to offer a distance learning option for classroom instruction.  Safeway's 30 hours of teleconference instruction consist of 10 three-hour classes.  Classes are given by two licensed instructors who will share presentation and classroom management responsibilities.  Students are expected to be present during the lessons and participate via chat.  Attendance will be monitored and students must be involved for the entire class.  Please make sure your student has an environment that allows them to be uninterrupted for the three-hour class.  

All students who complete our distance learning class will receive a Blue Card from Safeway, not a classroom completion letter.  The Blue Card insures you will have quality behind-the-wheel instruction with Safeway and not be left trying to find another provider, all of whom will be overwhelmed by their existing students when business resumes.  

Please Note: The variance to offer driver’s education via Distance Learning expires on June 30, 2022. Safeway is communicating with the State to extend that variance. In the case the variance is not extended and you have registered for a Distance Learning class starting after June 30, Safeway will provide you with an option of a full refund or an in-person class at one of our Safeway locations.
