About Teen Behind-the-Wheel

Behind-the-Wheel is a course with 14 mandatory 50-minute periods of in-car instruction. The class is divided into 7 days, and each day is 50 minutes of driving and 50 minutes of observing another student. The observation periods are required and cannot be waived. The road test is given on the last day of the course. Teens who pass the road test receive a temporary driver's license from the school.

The course fee is $350. The deposit is 50% ($150).

Student Eligibility to Start the Course:

1. You must be under the age of 18.

Even if your child is still in high school, if your teen is age 18, then they must enroll in the Adult Behind-the-Wheel Course as mandated by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.

2. You must have a Virginia learner's permit.

It must be valid and held for at least 8 months. The holding requirement to receive your license from the school is 9 months.

3. You must have a Driver's Education Course certificate.

If you successfully completed the course in high school or at another driving school, you only need to provide us with the official certificate from the class. A transcript will not be accepted.

4. You must complete the 90-Minute Parent/Teen Component

If you completed the Driver's Education Course on or after July 1, 2022, the 90-Minute teen safety presentation is required for all students under age 18.

A student who is (1) at least 18 years of age, (2) an emancipated minor, or (3) an unaccompanied minor not in the physical custody of their parent or guardian is exempt from this requirement.

5. You must have 45 hours of driving practice.

This course is not for new or learning drivers! You must already know how to drive and be prepared to have your skills graded throughout the course as well as during the final class period for the road test.

If you register with false information and the instructor determines you do not meet the skill requirement, you or your parent will be required to pay an additional fee of $200 before your Driver's License is issued.
