What You Will Learn
This course is designed to give students the fundamentals for driving responsibly, safely and defensively. In addition to the 8-hour classroom portion, each student will receive six lessons of behind-the-wheel training that will be scheduled with the instructor and will begin the week following the course. Students must be at least 14 years old. It is recommended but not necessary for students to have a current learner's permit prior to the course. All course materials are included in the course fee.
A welcome letter from the instructor with instructions pertaining to the course will be sent to enrolled participants at the email used for registration approximately one week prior to the first class. For students under 18, we require a parent or legal guardian to attend an information session and complete required forms and learn about the structure of the course. Students must successfully pass the Kansas handbook test with a score of 80% or better in order to complete the classroom session before drive lessons are conducted. (For more information about the handbook test, please see Driver Education Webpage Frequently Asked Questions)
Driving lessons will be scheduled with the classroom instructor.
Select "View Outline" for detailed course information.
Please make sure the student that is enrolled in the course has their own account set up in our system and is not sharing a family members account.
Students are expected to complete all drive lessons within approximately 6 weeks of class start date.
