🎓 Adult Driver Education

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

Ages 15–17

  • 24-hour course — required for learner's permit
  • 2-hour ITTD — required before road test

→ Covered in Teen Packages above

Ages 18–24

  • 6-hour Adult Driver Ed course — required for learner's permit, copy submitted at DPS exam
  • 1-hour ITAD — required before road test

→ We provide both — see pricing below

Ages 25+

  • 6-hour course — not required
  • ITAD certificate — not 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.
📌 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.
