  • Visit the registration page for your age group and follow the instructions. Once your paperwork and payment are received, we’ll provide the next steps for scheduling.

  • At 16, students complete the permit process and six hours of driving instruction through a licensed driving school. At 17, we can assist eligible students with the permit process. Adults 18 and older must obtain a validated permit through the NJMVC before purchasing a beginner lesson package.

  • Sixteen-year-olds can register with us before obtaining a permit. We handle the permit process. Older students need a validated permit before purchasing a driving package. If you’re 17 and need permit assistance, contact us first.

  • Yes! We offer the NJ written permit test for students ages 16 and 17. Book your appointment online and follow the instructions provided.

  • Requirements vary by age. Visit your age group’s registration page for the forms and document checklist, including identification and proof of passing the written test if you’ve already taken it.

  • No. New Jersey’s 50-hour requirement includes supervised practice with a qualified parent, guardian, or other supervising driver, with at least 10 hours after dark. You can purchase additional lessons if you would like professional help between your students permit lessons and DMV road test, but the 50-hour requirement does not require a NJMVC licensed driving instructor, just a parent’s supervision.

  • For 16-year-olds, we submit the permit to the MVC for validation and notify you when it’s ready to be picked up. Separately, if you choose, you can then purchase one of refresher options and/or road test prep packages to practice with a qualified supervising driver just before completing your official license road test at the DMV. 

Getting Started

  • The program includes three two-hour driving lessons. For 16-year-old students, we also handle purchasing the permit and submitting it for validation after the lessons.

  • We serve most parts of Camden County, Burlington County, and Gloucester County.  Contact us before booking if you’re unsure whether your location is covered.

  • Our standard driving lessons are two hours long. Availability varies, so check our online schedule before purchasing a package.

  • Visit our Packages and Services pages for current prices. The initial six-hour registration program requires a deposit, with the balance due as explained in your registration instructions. Other services are paid for when purchased online.

  • All lessons with Cornely are 1-on-1 with a NJMVC licensed driving instructor.  Lessons take place in a Cornely training vehicle. All of our Driving School’s vehicles are Honda Accords which consistently rank among the safest and most reliable vehicles available.

  • You don’t need previous driving experience. Let your instructor know how you’re feeling so we can start with the basics and help you build confidence step by step.

  • Yes! We offer adult driving packages, two-hour refresher lessons, and additional instruction for students who want more practice before their road test.

Lessons & Booking

  • Yes! We offer car-only service at the Cherry Hill testing location and a separate service that includes car use and pre-test preparation. Check the booking page for availability and package details.

  • You can schedule or reschedule your MVC road test through the links on our website. Booking a Cornely vehicle or preparation service is separate.  Please make sure both appointments match.

  • For lessons, bring your original permit or valid driver’s license and any required glasses or contacts. For the road test, follow the MVC document checklist and your Cornely booking instructions. Bring the completed supervised-driving certification form if it applies to you.
