Many schools offer a Spanish driver education course, but if you are looking to complete the course to reduce points on your driving record, dismiss a traffic ticket or speeding ticket, or get an auto insurance discount, first make sure the driver education course is court or state approved. Check your state in the grid below.

Though, for some drivers the easiest (and possibly only) way to find a driver education course in Spanish is to find an online traffic school that offers one. Of course, in these situations, you’ll first have to find out whether your state or court approves online traffic school.

Keep in mind that the grid only deals with state- or court-approved defensive driving and driver education courses for the purpose of reducing points on your driving record or dismissing a traffic ticket. If you want to take a course simply to brush up on your driving skills, you can sign up with any school, including those that offer Spanish courses.

NOTE: If you’re looking for the kind of driver education course you can take before you earn your drivers license (and not the kind you take when you need to reduce points on your driving record or have a speeding ticket dismissed) know that many states provide Spanish versions of their driver handbooks and their written driver tests.
