| PTDI Standards for Driving Hours. According to PTDI's website, entry level students are only required to drive a minumum of 44 hours. Yet, the mandated classroom time is 104 hours, which are spent on talking and watching videos. I've read several complaints on this forum from recent grads, about the deficiency of their training, which made them (graduates) reluctant when test driving for a company. Should PTDI reevaluate the standards or is this information incorrect and/or outdated? Instructional Time q Does each student receive at least 104 (60-minute) hours in classroom and lab time? (Lab includes time on the range under the supervision of an instructor. Observation time does not count as instructional time.) q Does each student receive at least 44 (60-minute) hours of actual behind-the-wheel time? (This is time with hands actually on the wheel, with at least 12 hours on the range and 12 on the road and the other 20 hours on either.) Last edited by Light Traveler; 02.08.2007 at 02.30 AM.
