Driver’s Education course is offered in two parts:

  1. Nine hours of classroom instruction. Register at Community Education.
    • Students must also pass a classroom final before beginning behind-the-wheel-training instruction.
  2. Six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. This is scheduled with the Driver’s Education instructor following the completion of the classroom instruction.

Licensing

An instructional permit is issued to the student after successful completion of the classroom session, including:  

  • Passing the initial Kansas Driving Handbook test
  • Participating in nine hours of classroom instruction

A certificate of completion is awarded to students who successfully complete the Driver’s Education program. Successful completion includes:
