  • Registration update - Sept. 13

    Registration for fall driver education courses is open. Due to heavy traffic, some users may have experienced delays and server timeouts.

    The registration site should now be operating normally. If you were not able to register earlier, please go to jordandriving.com now to register. Thank you for your patience.
     
    Enrollment at each site is limited, so not everyone will get into a fall class. Once a class is fully enrolled, it will be closed and will say Full. You may check the driver education page on your school's website during the semester to see if any seats become available.    

    Please do not call the Jordan Driving School office; staff cannot control the registration process.

     

    Important updates from Jordan Driving School - Aug. 2023

    The goal of the Wake County Public School System and its driver education contractor, Jordan Driving School (JDS), is to provide a quality driver education program to all students in a safe and timely manner. The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel training. The average time to complete the Driver Education class, from registration through the classroom and driving phases, is typically 6 months but can differ depending on the school.  Please check your individual school’s Driver Education website for updates. Students wanting their permits by age 15 must register on or before the age of 14 years, six months. Students with extracurricular activities or jobs may take longer due to conflicts with scheduling driver education.

    There are no academic requirements in order to take the driver education class. There are academic requirements in order to apply for a permit or license after finishing the driver education class.
    Students should view available dates register for Driver Education at jordandriving.com.

    Once students are assigned to a class, they will be notified to pay the $65.00 fee in order to finalize their registration. Students that are dismissed from driver education class due to behavior or attendance problems will not be allowed to take driver education a second time through the Wake County Public School System.

    Parents are highly encouraged to attend a parent-teen meeting, held on the last day of the classroom session for driver education students. This meeting will inform parents and students of behind-the-wheel procedures and provide best practices for parents teaching teens to drive.
