Course Information

---

To meet WA state requirements, driver education courses must include a minimum of:

• 30 hours in the classroom
• 6 hours behind-the-wheel
• 1 hour in-car observation

Drive sessions are scheduled in addition to classroom times and are available with flexible dates and times. 

Students must be at least 15 years old by the first classroom session. 

To successfully pass the course, you must attend all class and drive  sessions, not have more than three absences, complete all homework and  readings, pass all written and drive tests with at least 80% or above  and complete supervised outside drive practice with a parent/guardian.  All requirements must be completed by two months from the scheduled end  date of the course to earn a Traffic Safety Education Certificate.

There is a total of 15 two-hour classroom sessions.
 

Our classroom phase covers ten modules including:

• Uniting Driver & Vehicle
• Knowing Where You Are
• You Are In Control
• Searching For LOS-POT's
• You Control The Intersection
• Space Management
• The Deadly D's–Drinking, Drugs and Drowsy Driving
• Interacting With Others
• Practicing Your Skills
• Managing Driver Vehicle and Environmental Risks
• Putting It All Together

There are a total of 6 behind-the-wheel sessions. Each session is  scheduled for two students in the car, therefore, each student will get  1-hour of behind the wheel instruction and 1-hour of observation.

Throughout the course students will schedule behind-the-wheel or drive  sessions outside the normal scheduled classroom times. Weekday and  weekend drives are available. 

 1. Sign up for a driver education course and automatically 10 days  prior to the first scheduled classroom session you will be eligible to obtain your instructor permit from the DOL without having to take the  DOL knowledge test.

2. If you are not signed up for driver education and are 15 1/2 years old you must take and pass a DOL knowledge test to receive your  instruction permit.
