Self-Taught Driver Education Online Course
Our TDLR-approved Self-Taught Online Driver Ed course is for teens 14–17 years of age. We’ve designed this course for students who want to fulfill their driver ed requirements on their own, without requiring the aid of a guardian, parent, or instructor. This Online Driver Ed course is a convenient way to learn driving safety while fulfilling the 32 hours of state-required classroom education.
How Does Self-Taught Online Driver Ed Work?
Instead of traditional classroom driver education, this course lets teens who enroll in our TDLR-approved course to immediately begin their driver education online after registering. This means no instructor approval process or waiting for forms from the state to arrive by mail.
Students aged 15–17 will be eligible for a learner’s permit after completing Module 1 (6 hours) of this course. They can then take the learner’s permit exam online, which is DPS-approved and included with the course. After completing this requirement, a Texas Driver Education Certificate (DE-964) will be mailed to the student. The student, accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, then presents this certificate and other required forms to a local DPS office to obtain their learner’s permit.
What Will I Learn?
In our Self-Taught Online Driver Ed course, teens learn new driver defensive driving habits, traffic laws, and more. Topics covered include sharing the road with other drivers, handling emergency situations, avoiding the dangers of distracted driving, and reading traffic signals and signs.

Texas Drivers Ed Online Frequently Asked Questions
When do I apply for my Learner’s Permit?
Our Self-Taught Online Drivers Ed course satisfies the driver education requirements for both a Texas learner’s permit and a Texas driver’s license. The TDLR-approved Self-Taught Online Driver Ed course is for teens 14–17 years of age. Once the first module of either course is completed, the student may apply for a learner’s permit if he or she is 15 years old. The student then continues the course while also completing behind-the-wheel training in preparation to apply for a driver’s license at the age of 16.
Are these courses Texas state-approved?
Yes, all three of our courses are approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration (TDLR).
How long are these Driver Education online courses?
The online portion of the Self-Taught Driver Ed course is the state-required minimum of 32 hours.
Can I sign up and begin the course today?

What does behind-the-wheel training consist of?
After you have received your Texas learner’s permit, you may begin to practice driving a car if your parent or guardian with a valid driver’s license is in the car with you. To obtain a driver’s license, you must complete 44 hours of behind-the-wheel training and at least 10 of these hours must be at night.
What is an Impact course?
Every student must complete a mandatory Impact course provided free by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to obtain a Texas driver’s license. The program is meant to reduce the risk of being involved in automobile crashes, especially those caused by distracted driving, the number one killer of drivers in the U.S. Proof of completion of your Impact course must be provided when you apply for your license at the DPS.
Will I get a certificate after I complete the first module?
You will receive a certificate after the first module of the course is completed. Bring this to the DPS to apply for your learner’s permit.
