The full registration fee will be charged to the REGISTRANT. This fee includes all necessary instructional materials and is paid prior to course activation or, if they opt to Pay Later, before the REGISTRANT is able to proceed past module 1. REGISTRANTS may use Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and/or Discover cards to pay the course tuition during registration. This tuition includes everything necessary to complete the course: customer service, technology, completion reporting, etc. There are NO hidden fees.
Please note: The Pre-Licensing Course is NOT designed to help a student pass the road test.
NTSI offers training to the REGISTRANT 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Course availability may be affected by circumstances such as, but not limited to: system, site or connectivity failure over which the NTSI has no control. The Course is available upon completion of registration.

Upon successful registration and first login, the STUDENT must answer various identity questions AND perform a vocal print enrollment by calling a toll-free number and reading a series of words or numbers. These identity questions and vocal print will be used routinely throughout the course to verify the STUDENT'S identity. If there are three (3) failed attempts, STUDENT will have to start the course from the beginning by calling the NTSI office. There will be no additional cost to the student.
Vocal print enrollment and verification will be recorded and be able to be recalled by NTSI. This is used by NTSI to help fine tune the vocal print validation process, as well as determine if a student is attempting to cheat the validation system. These recordings are stored until the student has completed their coursework and been successfully processed.
NTSI's courses are equipped with progress meters that track the time spent within the course and indicate which segments are in progress or completed. This bookmarking feature enables STUDENTS to pause a study session and to return at a later date to resume where they left off.
CONTENT QUESTIONS must be answered at the end of each module and pass with a 70% correct answer rate or higher. Each module will have a 10 question graded test. STUDENTS will have UP TO 3 ATTEMPTS before getting locked out of the course. If a STUDENT fails three (3) consecutive times, STUDENT will have to start the course from the beginning. The course concludes when the STUDENT has completed all modules, quizzes and module tests.
STUDENT will be required to complete a brief 10 question survey about the program after they've completed the course content.
NTSI will report the STUDENT’S completion to the NY DMV within one business day after completion of the course and it will be posted on STUDENT’S driver record. In the event of a completion reporting failure, NTSI will convey to the STUDENT the required information necessary to process the course completion and resubmit to the NY DMV. There is NO COMPLETION CERTIFICATE at the end of this course or thereafter.
Answers to the aforementioned required survey will be included in the completion reporting.
SCHEDULING OF ROAD TEST can only occur 24-48 hrs after successful completion of the Online 5hr Pre-Licensing Course, once the completion has been successfully reported to the NY DMV to be posted on the Driver Record.
