You have two options, depending on where you live. Your teen can either enroll in a drivers education classroom course or, if permitted in your state, opt for driver ed online. Before making a decision, confirm that the school you're considering is recognized by your state. Only Certificates of Completion from approved drivers ed schools will be accepted. Otherwise your teen's quest for a drivers license will be delayed, as he or she would have to re-enroll in a program that your state deems as legitimate.
You can find drivers ed classes at high schools, colleges and private driving schools. These classes combine classroom time with actual behind-the-wheel training, meeting all state standards, which vary with every state. Delaware, for example, requires 30 classroom hours, seven behind the wheel and seven observing. Whereas Ohio requires 24 classroom hours, eight behind the wheel and zero hours observing.
Currently only 15 states permit online driver education. These courses teach all of the basics of driving – identifying road signs, highway driving, operating a vehicle in adverse weather conditions – but from the convenience of home. Your teen can complete the course from any computer at his or her convenience.
