Wisconsin law requires students to complete both behind-the-wheel driving and observation hours to meet the requirements for a Class D instruction permit and license. At CrashCourse, we make sure every minute counts toward building confident, skilled drivers.

Behind-the-Wheel: This is hands-on driving time where the student is actively operating the vehicle with a certified instructor. In our Classic and Advantage programs, each driving lesson is 2 hours long—1 hour of actual driving and 1 hour of observing another student.

Observation: Observation involves riding in the back seat while another student drives. It allows learners to watch different driving techniques and decision-making in real time. This reinforces learning and builds confidence before getting behind the wheel themselves.

FastTrack™ is different: All lessons are one-on-one and private, so observation hours are not required. You’ll complete nine individual 1-hour lessons with full instructor attention and the convenience of home pick-up.

Whether you’re a visual learner or someone who learns best by doing, our programs offer the perfect mix of experience and instruction to help you succeed.
