     Classroom Instruction

    The Driver Education classroom program is a minimum of 30 hours of classroom instructions requirement. There is a minimum class size of 25 students and a maximum of 35 students. The class schedule is normally 3 hours per day for 10 scheduled school days after school hours and 6 hours per day for 5 days during the summer

    Behind the Wheel Training

    Once all classroom requirements are completed, students are placed on a waiting list and when it is time for students to receive Behind the Wheel Training, a driving instructor will be assigned to schedule the behind the wheel driving training. The current waiting period between the completion of the class and behind the wheel instruction is approximately 4 to 6 months.

    The behind-the-wheel instructor is responsible for calling and scheduling students to drive. When called, please remember to write down your driving instructor’s name and number, driving schedule, place to meet and to be picked up. You must provide your own transportation to and from driving sessions.  Please be patient as we attempt to drive students as quickly as possible.

    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.
