How do I register?

Go to High School Programs on our home page for the selection of classes in your area. Download our flyer and follow the registration directions. You may register by phone, or on-line.

If you are a newly licensed driver (less than 6 months) you may not qualify for our high school programs. See "New Teen Driving Laws" below.

Are there any insurance benefits?

Some insurance companies offer discounts for taking the course. Call your insurance agent to find out exactly how many classroom and driving hours your company requires for a discount. Students who pass the course receive a certificate as proof of completion.

Are the courses ODOT approved?

Yes! All of our courses are approved by the Department of Transportation and meet the new teen driving laws. Students who pass our course will receive a certificate of completion with the ODOT seal.

After I get my license, what are the restrictions on my driving?

For the fist six months, you can't drive with a passenger under the age of 20 who isn't a member of your immediate family, and for the second six months, you can't drive with more than three passengers under the age of 20 who aren't members of your immediate family.

For the first year after you get your license, you can't drive between midnight and 5:00 am unless you are:

a. driving between home and work;

b. driving between home and a school event (for which there is no other transportation available);

c. driving for employment purposes; or

d. accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 25 years old.

The above restrictions are only for the first year or until you turn 18, regardless of whether you've had a provisional license for a full year.
