We Know: All About Driver's Education Online
Why take a driver's education class online?
Because the driver's education class involves book work rather than hands-on driving, an online course is more
convenient than going to a classroom. You can complete the coursework on your own time schedule and at your own pace.
Some courses offer a combination of online and behind the wheel training.
Things to Know About Driver's Education Online Courses
Before signing up for an online driver's training course, consider these points:
- Check with your state's department of motor vehicles to make sure that online driver's training courses are legal.
- Find out if you have a limited amount of time in which you must complete the course.
- What supplemental materials, if any, are available to the student such as practice exams?
- If you have questions about anything, is there a real person you can speak to?
- Some online companies offer driver's training courses in several areas, others do not. If you're looking for a
commercial education class, one for motorcycles, or for any course other than a private driver's license, make sure the
company offers it.
- Some online courses will allow you to take the final exam however many times it takes to pass. Others are more
restrictive. Find out the company's policy.
- Some companies allow you to download the course to your PDA or other handheld device.
- Inquire whether there are demos available for you to download and try out first.
- Verify that the school provides a DMV approved certificate of completion that will be recognized by your state's DMV.
