Section D

Adult Driver Education (Ages 18+)

Getting your license as an adult is simpler than you think. We walk you through every step.

Ages 15–17

24-hour course + 2-hour ITTD required

Covered in Teen Packages above

Ages 18–24

6-hour Adult Driver Ed course (required, copy submitted at DPS exam) + 1-hour ITAD (required before road test)

We provide both — see pricing below

Ages 25+

Neither course nor ITAD legally required

Optional but highly recommended — see tip below

Age 25+ tip: Even though neither certificate is legally required, completing the 6-hour course waives the DPS written knowledge test entirely — no studying an 80-page handbook, no written exam at the DPS office. Many adults find it's the easiest path to getting licensed.

Adult Driver Education Course

Online course, certificate included. Required for ages 18–24. Recommended for 25+ — passing it waives the DPS written test.

$125

Impact Texas Adult Drivers (ITAD) Certificate

Completed in-school with us. Required for ages 18–24 before the road test. Not required for 25+.

$30

Ages 18–24: Your 6-hour certificate copy must be submitted at your DPS exam appointment, and your 1-hour ITAD certificate must be presented at the DPS on road test day. We'll make sure you have everything you need before you walk through that door.
