Parent’s Guide to Teen Driver Education

Helping your teen become a safe, confident driver starts with the right driver’s ed program. This guide explains what to expect, how to stay involved, and how CrashCourse makes the process as smooth and affordable as possible.

What Your Teen Will Need to Do:
✓ Enroll in a state-approved driver’s ed course
✓ Pass the DMV written test to get their permit
✓ Complete 30 hours of online classroom
✓ Complete 6 or more driving lessons (based on program)
✓ Hold a permit for 6 months and be age 16+ to take the road test

How You Can Help:
✓ Review the dashboard for progress updates
✓ Practice with your teen once they receive their permit
✓ Stay in touch with your instructor and confirm lesson dates
✓ Make sure permit and test dates are scheduled on time

Making It Affordable:
We proudly offer **interest-free payment plans** to make driver’s ed accessible to every family. Start with a small down payment and spread the cost over several months — no credit checks required.

Grant Opportunity:
