State approved driver education classes

We teach driver education in-car lessons with state licensed instructors.

All drives are with our instructors in our driver education vehicles. The classroom component is done online with a state approved program. For more detailed online classroom information Click this link if you need more information: “Register here for online driver education classes”, then go to the top left tab “REGISTER HERE FOR ONLINE DRIVER EDUCATION CLASSES”, choose from the drop down menu.

Driver education takes longer than you think, so please plan accordingly. Students do have 7 weeks to finish the online course, however if all the students take that amount of time the the wait time for the in-car portion may also be a longer wait as we will have a large number of students needing drives in a short period of time and there are only so many hours in the day to drive them. Plan on the worst case, 7 weeks doing the online course and up to 7 weeks waiting to start the drives. Often this is shorter, between 4 to 6 weeks, but you need to know that we go in the order that the student finishes the online course to contact students for in-car lessons and we have no control if they do it in 2 weeks, 3 weeks or more. If the previous class takes most of the 7 weeks then all those students are on the wait list before the current class, even if you finish in 3 weeks you will still have to wait for the students that finished the online course before you. It is good to get on the list sooner rather than later though. You will be able to schedule out all three driving lessons after we notify you that we are ready for your student to drive.

Idaho also requires you to register with a driving school 1st before getting your permit. They will ask you what driving school you are registered with.

Step 1-

Pick your online classroom course. A student must be able to get their permit before the class start date. If they don’t turn 14 1/2 by the class start date choose a later class date. Students will also need to do steps 1 through 3 in order to do driver education.

For online class options go to the “Register her of Idaho Online Driver Education Classes” tab; in the drop down menu you can look at your options.

Step 2-

Get your permit! Please include your permit # on your application (Step 3).  This can be found on the paper copy of the student’s permit that has “IDAHO TEMPORARY” in bold letters on it. Under the student’s name is their DLN # (driver license number, aka: permit #).

You may not drive without an instructor while on your supervised instructional permit (SIP) until you finish your drives with your instructor and the hard copy of the permit has been given to you, only Class D permit holders who have passed the written exam and are 17 years old or over, can legally drive with a licensed adult 21 years old or older before finishing driver education.
