Online driver education with in-person behind-the-wheel practice. Licensed by the DMV since 2009, serving Ahoskie and 20+ counties across North Carolina.
How did a home-based driving school grow to serve all of eastern North Carolina?
Professional Family Driving School started in 2009 with one car and a DMV license. Realizing many local families had no convenient driver ed option, we built an online program that covers theory at home and practice on the road. Today we serve over 20 counties, including Ahoskie, Hertford, and Pitt.
