I think the class would help because I took one for my insurance rates and it was a ok class. I drove the first time when I was 14 in a 2500 GMC Suburban and my parents said I did good so I could drive in our community (gated) when ever I wanted. Class will help but nothing is better than experince in my opion.
BTW
In Nebraska if you live outside of the city at 14 you get a liesnce to drive to school.
