Welcome to the Gersh Driver Education Program
Our newly renovated classroom, as well as our state-of-the-art simulator, allows your child to learn in a stress-free environment while utilizing the most up-to-date practice simulations.
At Gersh Driver Education we are always adding ways to get our students more involved and not be the traditional boring program. This year we have added and are the only program to have an on-site distracted driving course. The students will navigate around a closed course in a golf cart allowing them to experience different distracted driving scenarios.
The Gersh Driver Education Program is the largest in New York State and has a high road test pass rate that surpasses the national average. All, of our teachers are state certified experienced professionals that go through a series of vetting processes and have many years of teaching experience. We also give random BAC breathalyzer tests to the driving instructors ensuring the safety and well-being of every student.
Gersh Driver Education is very well known for its excellent customer service, most class choices & times and outside the box thinking.
We strive to not only make our program a good and effective learning experience, but fun for all as well.
