Depending on your situation, you may be court-ordered to attend DUI school. These programs vary in length depending on your state. In most instances you must complete a DUI or DWI course in order to get your license reinstated. Schedules for DUI classes vary by programs, but are usually spread out over several weeks. Before enrolling make sure your course meets court approval.
