## Quick answer

Yes, attendance is required

## Detailed answer

Yes, attendance is required for the entire 5-hour course. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires that all new drivers complete the Mandatory 5-Hour Course before taking the road test. At 大軍駕駛學校 NO. 1 DRIVING SCHOOL INC., we take attendance seriously, and you must be present for the entire course to receive a certificate of completion. Our instructors will take attendance at the beginning and end of the course, and you will be required to participate in all course activities.
