Driver’s Ed training in Woonsocket is held on weeknights from 5:30–8:30 pm with select
courses available on weekday mornings and early afternoons in December. A full schedule
of classes can be found at ccri.edu/workforce. Maximum capacity is 30 students per class.
The earliest course begins September 19 and ends October 19 with 11 sessions over
