What does the New York Pre-Licensing Course (PLC) consist of, and what is the instructor's role in relation to it?

1. A five-hour classroom course required before a learner permit is issued, which any instructor with an MV-524 may teach without a classroom endorsement
2. A 5-hour course covering safe driving practices, required before the road test—instructors who teach PLC need additional qualifications
3. A ten-hour behind-the-wheel program that replaces the DMV road test and requires no separate pre-licensing classroom instruction
4. A self-paced online-only course requiring no DMV-approved provider, classroom curriculum, or specially qualified pre-licensing instructor
