BEHIND-THE-WHEEL TRAINING PROGRAMS

All of our driving lessons are conducted one-on-one with state-certified driving instructors who are passionate about ensuring that all of our students have a positive experience as they learn how to drive. We understand that driving for the first time can be intimidating, which is why our expert instructors work hard to create a motivating learning environment that boosts both competency and confidence behind the wheel. Parents and students can both feel assured knowing that every driving instructor we hire is highly trained to demonstrate and teach the gold standard of safe-driving practices. For further peace of mind, all of the driving lessons take place in our DriveSafe cars that are equipped with ample safety features. 

When it comes to searching for driving lessons for teenagers, there is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Some students may need more time with a professional driving instructor due to their skill development, and some require more driving lessons because their parents can’t easily help them log the 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice required by the Colorado DMV. 

Regardless of what your unique situation looks like, we offer a variety of behind-the-wheel training packages that can accommodate your needs.

Testimonials

Tracy B, Greenwood Village

I’ve had 3 kids go through DriveSafe, and all have had a great experience. There is always someone that answers the phone when you call with questions, the classes are straightforward and concise, the driving sessions are beneficial, and my kids liked all of the drivers they had. I like how DriveSafe transfers all the students information to the DMV…very helpful.

Mary P, Highlands Ranch

Marc L, Louisville

My daughter’s instructor tuned into to my daughter’s need to develop more confidence driving in an urban environment. She came away feeling a lot more confident! Her instructor had great intuition and a really kind approach!

Cliff, Evergreen

“My son has enjoyed both of his driving instructors so much. He’s not the type to speak up like this, but he said both instructors made him feel comfortable while teaching him so much. He gained much confidence. He said the classroom teacher was great as well!”

Kaitlyn A, Highlands Ranch

I learned a lot and am ready to be a responsible driver!

Tiffany, Greenwood Village

Not only was my driving instructor helpful, but I had an important driving related question, and the manager who was at the front desk took the time to be extremely helpful and thorough as well. Both of them were so kind and professional.

FAQ

What is the best way to teach a teenager to drive?

The best way to teach a teenager to drive is through a combination of professional instruction and supervised practice. Start with short, calm sessions in low-traffic areas, and gradually introduce more complex driving situations as their confidence grows. Be patient, give clear guidance, and focus on building good habits like scanning the road, following speed limits, and using mirrors and signals. Enrolling them in a certified driver education program ensures they learn the rules of the road from trained instructors while gaining experience in a structured, safe environment.

Your child can start driver’s education in Colorado at the age of 14 1/2 years old. This is the minimum age required to begin the classroom program.

The minimum age to go to driving school in Colorado is 14 1/2 years old. This is the age at which students can begin their classroom program for driver’s education.

Absolutely. At 17, most teens are ready to develop safe driving habits and gain confidence behind the wheel. Learning to drive at this age allows for more supervised practice, which can lead to safer, more responsible driving in the long term.

30-Hour Drivers Ed Course

In our DMV-approved drivers ed course, students learn the information that they will need to pass their learners permit tests as well as how to make safe, sensible decisions behind the wheel. Students can take this drivers ed course in person at one of our driving school locations. 

Written Permit Test

In addition to our drivers ed courses that prepare students for the written permit test, we are also state-certified to offer the test at our DriveSafe locations. The test covers Colorado’s driving regulations, and it consists of 25 multiple-choice questions. By skipping the stress of the DMV and taking the written exam in a familiar, friendly environment, students are able to focus more thoroughly on the questions in front of them.

6-Hours of Driving Lessons

During these driving lessons, students will work one-on-one with caring, state-certified driving instructors to build the skills necessary to become safe and competent drivers. Our expert instructors work hard to ensure that each student’s experience is inspiring and impactful, as our goal is for everyone to leave our driving school feeling confident in their driving abilities and fully supported throughout the entire learning process.

Drivers License Test

The drivers license test evaluates students on over 100 items, which can lead to test anxiety in even the most confident of student drivers. Our drivers license tests are conducted by patient, experienced instructors who work hard to create a calm environment where students can fully focus on the road in front of them. Regardless of whether a student passes or fails, every road test concludes with constructive, supportive feedback.

3-Hour Defensive Skills Driving Class

During this three-hour class, students learn defensive driving skills that will help them be better prepared to handle hazardous scenarios. While traditional drivers ed classes cover the skills needed for day-to-day travels, our defensive skills class teaches more advanced techniques that focus on the unpredictable nature of the road. Students have fun with this engaging, hands-on defensive skills course, and parents get to rest easier knowing that their sons and daughters will leave the class more equipped to safely respond to emergencies. Topics covered include handling a vehicle during a skid, making precise maneuvers, recognizing and actively avoiding hazards, driving without distractions, and performing basic car maintenance. 

Additional 2-Hour Driving Lesson

Add an extra 2-hour lesson to your training. Perfect for students looking to boost confidence, fine-tune specific skills, and improve their chances of passing the driver’s license test.

Parent Training Course

The Parent Training Course is a driver’s ed tool designed to help parents effectively teach their teens how to drive throughout their permit-holding period. Available via mobile app for convenient access, it offers structured drive lesson plans, interactive learning tools, and practical exercises to help teens develop and reinforce safe driving habits. 

Safe Car Safe Driver

This 80-minute interactive clinic is great for teens preparing to get their license, new drivers, or anyone looking to increase their vehicle safety awareness. With hands-on demos, participants gain practical knowledge in emergency preparedness, roadside procedures, and safe driving habits. Exercises include live tire change, jump-start tutorial, full under-the-hood walkthrough, and more. 

Insurance Discounts May Apply for Driving School Graduates

As many parents know, car insurance for teen drivers is notoriously expensive. Luckily, many insurance providers acknowledge the value of drivers education by reducing their insurance rates for driving school graduates. Students who complete accredited drivers ed courses tend to be more responsible drivers, which is why these companies feel comfortable insuring them at lower costs.

DriveSafe for Life Guarantee™ 

Our DriveSafe for Life Guarantee™ allows all DriveSafe students to meet with an instructor to address any issues or questions that they have, regardless of how much time has passed since they left our driving school. Our instructors will be happy to explain explain how to resolve the issue or make a recommendation for further instruction if necessary.

6-Hour Driving Course

In our 6-hour driving course, students will learn the fundamentals of safe driving over three 2-hour driving lessons. Each lesson will be conducted one-on-one with a state-certified driving instructor and will involve customized guidance and feedback. Students will learn the basic skills needed for safe driving during the first lesson and, during subsequent lessons, our driving instructors will gradually add more speed and complexity to their instruction. 

Drivers License Test

In addition to offering behind-the-wheel training for teenagers who are ready to learn how to drive, students can also take the drivers license test with one of our friendly and experienced driving instructors. All students receive detailed feedback after the test is complete, so regardless of whether or not a student passes, he/she will leave the experience with encouraging guidance on how to be a safer driver.

3-Hour Defensive Skills Day 

This fun and engaging defensive driving course allows students to learn advanced driving skills in a hands-on environment. Skid control, hazard avoidance, precision skills, distraction prevention, and car maintenance are the major areas we focus on during this class. Students enjoy the various courses and activities that our driving instructors organize (e.g., wearing drunk goggles), and they learn potentially life-saving driving skills in the process. 

44 Additional Hours of Behind-the-Wheel Training 

Parents who have busy schedules are often unable to take their teenagers out for practice drives on a consistent basis. Consistent practice is a key element of mastering safe driving habits, and it’s also necessary in order for teens to log their required 50 hours of drive time in a time-efficient manner. In addition to our 6-hour driving course, DriveSafe also offers 44 additional hours of driving lessons to help students complete their hours and become eligible for a drivers license. By completing all 50 hours with a professional driving instructor, students will receive extensive expert instruction and feedback, and their parents will not have to stress about making time for practice drives in their already-busy lives. 

Behind-the-Wheel Training Progress Tracker

Our Behind-the-Wheel Progress Tracker™ is an online tool that allows parents to monitor their students’ progress on the ten key skills needed to become a safe driver. These skills include:

  • departing/parking
  • steering
  • turning
  • scanning for and managing hazards
  • positioning correctly in lanes
  • managing speed and traffic gaps
  • determining the right of way
  • using the IPDE method at intersections
  • communicating
  • utilizing the SMOG method when changing lanes. 

These are all skills that our driving lessons will cover, and students can use their progress tracker to help identify which areas they have mastered and which ones they need to continue to practice. 

DriveSafe for Life Guarantee™

Our DriveSafe for Life Guarantee™ revolves around our commitment to giving our students the tools needed to become safe drivers for life. Even if a student has graduated from our driving school, he/she can always request to speak to a driving instructor about any driving-related questions or concerns. The driving instructor will explain the issue or suggest any further instruction that can benefit the student. 

Two-Hour Drivers License Course

Students who opt for our two-hour drivers license course will receive a two-hour driving lesson before taking the road test. This extended driving lesson is taught by a highly experienced, friendly driving instructor, and the encouraging feedback students will receive can help them fine-tune the skills they need to pass. 

One-Hour Drivers License Course

Students who sign up for our one-hour drivers license course will receive an hour-long driving lesson with a state-certified driving instructor prior to taking the official road test. The driving lesson is taught by an instructor who knows exactly what items the drivers license test covers, and being able to ask lingering questions and receive feedback from an expert can help students feel more prepared and confident.
