Do I need a learner’s permit to take the Driver’s Ed class?

- The course consists of two parts: a classroom portion (Now available online) and an in-car driving portion. Students may take the classroom portion without a learner’s permit, and then return for the on-the-road training (BTW) after they have obtained their permit. Must possess the actual Permit License (Interim Documents now have Expiration dates)

- The classroom portion of the course runs for 2 weeks from Monday through Friday (a total of 10 class days). Each class day is 3 hours long plus a 15-minute break.
- There are also 3 OR more in-car driving lessons of up to 2 hours each (a total of 6 in-car hours -BTW). Student provides their availability and gets a drive scheduled.
- If you do not have a learner’s permit when you start the class, you can schedule the driving lessons after you obtain your permit.
