Driver Ed in a Box® can be used to give you the tools to help your teen develop safe collision-free habits during the state-required 40 hours of supervised driving. If your teen has not completed an approved driver's education course, they cannot get their Class D driver's license until they reach age seventeen (17). Remember, forty (40) hour of driving experience, including six (6) hours of driving at night, is always required for a Class D driver's license. All teenagers under the age of 18 must complete and pass the Georgia Alcohol Drug Awareness Program (ADAP) in order to receive their Class D driver's license. This course is taught in both public and private schools in four one-hour sessions, usually in the ninth grade. If your teen has not already taken the course, you can go to this web address (http://www.dds.ga.gov/ADAP/ADAP_Schedule.aspx) to find a location near you. There is no fee the ADAP course. An Instructional Permit must be held for 1 year and 1 day prior to being issued a Class D driver’s license. An Instructional Permit is required for all behind-the-wheel driving. The first 6 hours of the classroom included in our course, combined with the Georgia Driver Manual, will give your teen all the information they need to take their examination and receive their Instructional Permit at age 15. The Instructional Permit is valid for two years.
The Driver Ed in a Box® program gives you the tools to master the skills of each section of driving (we break it down to Parking Lot, Neighborhood, Two Lane and Four Lane Light Traffic, Freeway, Rural and Heavy Traffic). With our checklist and audio CDs, it allows the student to master the skills required in each area at their own pace before moving on to the next section. All of this instruction more than satisfies the 40 hours of behind-the-wheel (BTW) instruction Georgia requires.
If your teen has completed our course, is at least 17 years old (Georgia state requirements) and has held their Instructional Permit for 1 year and 1 day, they can go to the local driver license examiner and take their road test.
To obtain a Driver License, the student must have a verification form provided by the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) signed by a parent or legal guardian verifying that the applicant has COMPLETED a minimum of 40 hours of behind-the-wheel practice, including six hour of driving at night. You can simply go to the following link and print the form: Parents using Driver Ed in a Box® to work directly with their teen and supervise their progress ensures the safest teen drivers on the road.
