What the packages include

Every WMST teen package is the complete DOL-approved program: 30 hours of classroom, 6 behind-the-wheel drives, and an hour of observation. The difference between them is testing support:

  • Education, $549: the full course.
  • Education plus Testing, $599: adds the license testing.
  • Standard, $625 (currently $525): adds a test-day warm-up. The most popular.
  • Premium, $699: adds an advanced drive lesson on top.

See them side by side on the Teen Drivers Education page.

How to compare schools

A low headline price can hide a stripped-down course. When you compare, ask what is actually included:

  • Are the behind-the-wheel hours and testing in the price, or extra?
  • Do you test with the same school, or get sent elsewhere?
  • How soon does your teen actually start driving after enrolling?

WMST bundles the full program into one price with no add-ons partway through, and as a DOL examiner we test our own students.

Saving money the smart way

The biggest hidden cost is failing a test and paying to retake it, plus the lost time. Solid training that gets your teen through the first time is the real saving. The Spring Fever discount takes $100 off the Standard package right now with code SP 2026. There is also a refer-a-friend credit if you send someone our way.
