RALEIGH — The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles brought three new driver’s license examiner graduates to area driver license offices this week. Following graduation from NCDMV’s Basic Examiner Training School on Friday, the examiners began work at area offices on Monday.

The examiners are graduating following four weeks of intensive classroom study at the N.C. Justice Academy in Salemburg and another eight weeks of practical home-office experience. They will take applications for learner permits, driver’s licenses and identification cards using modernized systems that create counterfeit-proof documents that protect against identity theft. They will also conduct road tests for new drivers.

“These new examiners will enhance Gov. Pat McCrory’s efforts to ‘Drive Change’ in our DMV offices,” said Transportation Secretary Nick Tennyson. “We are happy to bring them on board because they will help us better serve our customers and decrease our wait times.”

The new examiners and their duty stations are: Brandon C. Edge, Washington; Jacqueline Roberson-Sessoms, Ahoskie; and John J. Taylor, Greenville.
