My guess is the 6 month class only meets once or twice a week.
I hope you are able to find a class that will work with your schedule.

I could have been wrong about the 6 month class since I was overwhelmed with information on their site. I could have mistaken it for something else.
What I do remember about that particular class though is that they meet 1 time a week on Sat and they teach you defensive driving as well and provide you with cars to take the driver's test (this would be a huge bonus for me since I have nobody to provide me a car suitable for me taking the test in or to help me get to the DMV to test). It is also done by a major college here so I would feel more comfortable with them teaching me versus a smaller school; especially since I live in the south and there are still people here that are ignorant to why a person older than 18 would be just now learning how to drive.
It seems like money and time will still be barriers for me but hopefully I get some of my disbursement funds next week. If so, I will see about signing up for classes next month.
