The New York State 5-hour pre-licensing course is required by the DMV before any first-time driver can take the road test. The class covers defensive driving, traffic laws, alcohol and drug awareness, and safe-driving attitudes. When you finish, you receive the MV-278 (Pre-Licensing Course Completion) certificate — the document the DMV asks for when you schedule your road test.
The 5-hour class is currently held online only — live on Zoom or fully online — so you can complete it from anywhere in Brooklyn. No in-person 5-hour class is available at this time, and you still receive the same DMV-recognized MV-278 certificate.
