Steps to Getting Your License

Complete a Driver’s Ed Course

Before you can take your permit test, you must pass a state-approved Driver’s Ed course. We are partnered with a highly rated driver's ed course, but any approved course will work.

Take Driving Lesson

Now that you have your permit, it’s time to get your lessons done! The DMV requires everyone under the age of 18 to take a minimum of six hours of training with a driving instructor before they can take the behind-the-wheel test. One of our highest priorities during lessons is to prepare you for that test.

Pass the Behind-the-Wheel Test

After completing your driving lessons and waiting six months from the day you received your permit, it’s time to take the road test. If you’d prefer for us to take you to the exam we have you covered. Please note that the DMV does not take walk-ins for the behind-the- wheel test.
