Let's Get Started!

Step One:
Purchase Your Permit
Must be done before starting the online course.
You must ensure you have all of the following items to purchase your teen's permit:
-
Certified Birth Certificate
-
Social Security Card
-
Photo ID (passport, school ID, etc.)
-
VOC (Verfication of Compliace) letter from teen's public/private school.
-
Teen must be accompanied by parent and or/legal guardian
-
Teen must be at least 14 1/2 yrs old.
Before deciding to enroll your teen in our online course, please consider that once your teen finishes the online course, there is approximately 2-3 week timeline for starting the in-car instruction.

Now you can get your online classroom and behind-the-wheel sessions all in one convenient package for $585
We've partnered with Pass Drivers Ed, an Idaho approved online course, a state-of-the-art, interactive fun way to learning drivers ed. We have developed our own online course using our classroom content and expertise to deliver you the same information you will find in a physical classroom.
3.
Behind-the-Wheel
Step Three:
Behind-the-Wheel
Six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction once your teen has completed the online course. Call or email us to schedule drives. We meet at the Fort Boise Community Center parking lot.
Your teen is required by state law to complete a minimum of 6 hours observing a parent or guardian driving. A good time to start this is while they are working through their course.
The observation hours will need to be completed before the first scheduled drive. Please click below to print off the form.
Step Four:
The Graduated
Driver License Program
Congratulations!
Now you will start the supervised driving portion of the Graduated Driver Licensing program. Your teen will need to drive the minimum 6 months driving with a supervised driver (parent or anyone 21 and older with a valid license). During the 6 months, 50 hours is required with 10 of those being night time driving. To learn about all the requirements/restrictions under the GDL Law and the licensing stage, click below.
