Adult Driver Education FAQs
Who MUST take the adult driver education class? If you are between the ages of 18 and 24, you MUST take the 6 hour adult driver education class before you can apply for either a learner's permit or a regular driver's license.

Who MAY take the adult driver education class? Anyone over the age of 18 may take the adult class. Some students take this class to help better prepare them for the learning-to-drive experience. If you do not have a permit yet, and you want to learn to drive, this class might be just the help you are looking for! We provide special instruction to help you not only pass the DPS permit exam, but also assist in acquiring knowledge to help make you a better driver. Most importantly, we will give you the permit exam at our school. When you pass the test, we will then give you the certificate required by DPS to get your learner's permit or take the behind-the-wheel test for the regular driver's license, if you are ready.

When do I get my permit? At the end of the class, you will receive an official state certificate showing that you have successfully finished the class and passed the written exam. You will get your permit when you take this certificate and required documents to DPS. The certificate does not have an expiration date.

After I get my permit, when do I learn to drive? You may begin taking lessons immediately after receiving your permit. You will be given a paper permit from DPS for you to use until your laminated permit arrives in the mail. You are ready to start your lessons! Top
What if I can't drive at all? We work with students at all skill levels. We are proud to tell you that we have very compassionate and skillful driving instructors. We understand you might be a bit nervous and we will guide you through your lessons at your own pace. You will probably want to sign up for the full package of four lessons. Each lesson is 90 minutes. We will pick you up at your home or work, whichever is your preference. If you take the adult class with our school, we will provide these lessons at a substantial savings to you! Call our office for details: 512-257-7099. Top
What if I have some driving experience already? Frequently, students come to us having some driving experience. We have a package that gives you one 90 minute drive with the instructor (to make sure you know the rules of the road) and then we will take you to DPS to take the driving test in our car. Just call our office and we can discuss this option with you. 512-257-7099
