Founders John Kurywchak and Mike Templeton with two of the CADETS Hondas.

CADETS meets or exceeds all of the driving instruction requirements of the South Carolina Department of Public Safety.

CADETS was founded in 2006 to serve Georgetown and Horry counties: from Little River to Myrtle Beach to Pawley's Island to the city of Georgetown.

Our owners, Mike Templeton and John Kurywchak, each have over twenty-five years of safety and training experience with the Federal Aviation Administration.

Mike and John are now applying their experience to the benefit of all CADETS customers.
