The 30 hours of classroom is structured into 10 independent lessons. If a student misses a lesson, they can make up that exact lesson number at the next session or at one of Safeway's other classroom locations. After class is completed, students who are 15 years old are eligible to take their permit test at any Minnesota exam center. The permit test is not provided during the class.

Safeway recommends students take their first lesson 2-3 weeks after receiving their permit card and after 5 hours of practice driving. Students have one year after completing the classroom to finish their Behind The Wheel lessons. Scheduling is offered online for 24/7 convenience.

Students can get picked up for their Behind The Wheel lesson from home, school, or work. Parent/Guardian involvement is required to produce safe, responsible teen drivers. It is critical that parents/guardians practice regularly with their student drivers. The state requires that students have a minimum of 50 hours of practice (15 hours at night).
