Getting Your License-Teens
38-Hr Teen Driver's Ed
Our Teen Driver's Education Course includes 30 hours of classroom instruction and 8 hours of behind-the-wheel training to help you become a confident and responsible driver. Navigating your teen's path to driving is a big deal, and we're here to make it seamless. Starting as young as 14 & 9 months, we offer age-appropriate courses and behind-the-wheel training, progressing them from a Learner's Permit to a Full License by age 17. Trust us to provide a comprehensive driving education, complete with licensed tests right here on site—making the road to independence safer and simpler for your family. You will need to secure a Temporary Instruction Permit from the Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) to complete our program.
OMV Required Documents
You need to apply for a Class E Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) from the Office of Motor Vehicles before you can take the knowledge test, drive during on-road lessons with an instructor, or participate in the on-road driving skills test. Make sure you meet all other Office of Motor Vehicles identification requirements. Note that this requirement doesn't apply to those enrolled in a National Guard Youth Challenge Program or to students who started driver education before September 4, 2018. After you finish your driver's education, you'll have to give back the TIP to the OMV, along with proof that you completed the driver's education course and any other necessary documents. The good news is that there's no extra cost to switch from a TIP to a Learner's Permit or a Full License.
