What is the curriculum?

This curriculum is based on the guidelines from the Washington State Driver Training: Required Curriculum supplemented with the Washington Driver Guide and the AAA driver safety and training student worksheets and videos. The curriculum consists of at least 30 hours of classroom instruction and up to 6 hours of in-car experience, 5 of which are behind-the-wheel (BTW) instruction for each student and 1 hour of driving observation. For more information, refer to the following link: Washington State Driver Training: Required Curriculum.

What is required prior to starting driving school?

Each student must be at least 15 years of age before the first day of class and have a current WA State Learner Permit issued. For more information to obtain a WA State Learner Permit, refer to the following link: Learner Permit Application.

What happens when the student completes the course?

Upon successful course completion, a certificate of completion will be electronically issued to the Department of Licensing (DOL). It is important to note that all tuition and fees must be paid in full before the Certificate of Completion can be issued. Failure to do so will result in an incomplete status. Course completion is necessary before scheduling a knowledge or road test.
