• Which states require a five hour course for drivers training?

  • Drivers License > Education > Driver Training

  Not very many. Check your state in the grid below. Most states require applicants to spend significantly more time in drivers training than what a five hour course provides; of course, states that do require a five-hour course might even require additional training afterward, which makes the five hours of prelicensing a helpful bonus. Not only do drivers training and drivers education courses help prepare you once it’s time to apply for your drivers license, but they also teach you the rules of the road and give you behind-the-wheel practice so you’re ready for solo driving...

• If I take an online driver course, can I take my test online as well?

  • Drivers License > Education > Drivers Ed

  This depends on where you live. Each state has its own rule regarding driver ed online courses, including how final exams are administered. In Florida, for example, where you take the test is determined by age. Drivers under 18 are allowed to take the test online. Whereas, drivers over 18 must take the test at a DMV location. Some states even go so far as requiring the drivers education exam to be taken in front of a notary public. You can find out the rules for your state by inquiring with the people administering the course, or checking with your DMV, or depending on your situation, with your court.   Before enrolling in an online driver course, be sure it's approved by your state. Only certificates from sanctioned programs will be recognized and applied towards your quest for a..

• Does a driver ed online course follow the same curriculum as a classroom course?

  • Drivers License > Education > Drivers Ed

  It's impossible to say if any particular online drivers ed class adheres to the same curriculum as a classroom course. However, if your state approves of the online school, you can be assured the information presented meets your state's standards. Now, with a driver ed online class, the information may be delivered in a different manner than in a classroom setting. But, that's OK. You'll still receive what you need to know to pass your drivers license written exam, and develop the knowledge required to be a safe driver. Some states require a formal drivers education (whether online or in a classroom) before allowing you to take the written exam. You can find out by visiting your state's drivers license department site, looking through the drivers license manual, calling the state..

• How can I be sure a driver ed online course is state approved?

  • Drivers License > Education > Drivers Ed

  Many state drivers license agencies post a list of approved drivers ed class providers on the state Web site. If your state doesn't, try looking through your state's drivers license manual. Or, obtain a list by visiting a branch drivers license branch office. If all this fails, call the state headquarters and ask. Don't assume a drivers education school is approved by your state; it's always best practice to verify this information with your state before signing up for the class. Some states require a classroom education, while others allow driver ed online classes. Again, you should be able to find this information from from your state's site or driver's license manual.
