Virginia Driver Education Program: adult waiver

---

To enroll in the course, the requirements listed below must be met. Please do not submit registration forms with missing requirements. If you have questions about the requirements, please call us at 757-926-5956.

 
Requirement 1: A valid Virginia learner's permit.

• If you are from out-of-state, to obtain a Virginia learner's permit, you will be required to surrender your out of state learner's permit, complete a knowledge exam, meet the identity, legal presence, residency, and social security requirements. The time in which you held your out-of-state learner's permit will be counted toward the Virginia minimum holding period for a learner's permit.

Requirement 2: A Virginia-approved driver education course certificate of completion.

• The certificate must have a school name, school code, hours completed, date of completion, and school official's signature. If the student has completed driver education at a public school or a driving school, then they must submit the original certificate of completion. A copy or transcript will not be accepted.
• Students who transfer to Virginia from another state or U.S. territory must have documentation of at least 30 hours of classroom instruction from a state-approved program to be eligible for in-car instruction. Contact DMV or DOE to determine if the out-of-state classroom driver education course meets Virginia’s requirements.
• Students who have never taken driver education must enroll in the course before they can enroll in the in-car course to earn a driver's license. If the student takes both driver education and behind-the-wheel at the same school, then the courses can be taken simultaneously. Visit Online Driver Education for our online course information and fee.

The behind-the-wheel course consists of 7 classes (1 class per day) of in-car instruction. The road skills test is given during the seventh instruction period. Upon successful completion of the course and the road test, students will receive an adult waiver that must be submitted to DMV to have their driver's license issued.

We recommend the student or parent discuss any learning or physical disabilities with us before registering. We appreciate an advance notice in these situations so that we may work together to determine if the student will be successful at our school.

We require all students to wear a face mask or cover in the vehicle. Gloves are recommended but not required. We ask that students wash their hands before they enter the vehicle. We will continue to sanitize our vehicles between student appointments and provide students with hand sanitizer.

Any student who feels sick should stay home and reschedule their class period.

Driving Notice Posted 7/27/2020: Due to a massive volume of customers and a rapidly expanding wait time for driving hours, currently, we are not accepting new driving students. We will reevaluate this policy every week and will begin accepting new students once our backlog of driving hours returns to a wait time range of approximately 5-to-6 weeks or less. Check back often for updates.
