School Information
Iron Response understands that obtaining a license is a financial and time investment. We have developed a learning plan to streamline the process. A personal learning plan will be developed for you whether you are just starting the process, or you just need pre-trip, driving skills, road time, or testing. We will assist you with directions, checklists, and accurate training and practice.
​
The student is responsible for their own success. Timely completion of the CLP Process, Online Course, Behind the Wheel, and Test Practice will expedite the process. IR Instructors will assist with all aspects of training; however, the student is the driving force behind their own success.
A tailored plan will be discussed for students that have completed some of the required steps. A credit for completed items will be deducted from the program price.
