State Required Driving Lessons & License Test

Behind-the-wheel training is not only a state requirement for young teens, but it also offers a wide range of benefits. 

Our driver training lessons are designed to cultivate a lifetime of safe habits and increase confidence behind the wheel. 

We find that students who complete at least six hours of professional instruction within the first six months of holding their permits are more likely to pass the driving test than students who wait. 

Once you have held your permit for a full year and have logged a minimum of 50 hours of driving (we recommend 100 hours or more), including 10 hours at night, you are eligible to take your Drivers License Test with DriveSafe and achieve the exciting milestone of becoming a licensed driver!

  • Hold valid permit for at least 12 months

  • Complete Drive Time Log Sheets with 50 hours of driving time (at least 10 hours at night). Must be signed off by parent or legal guardian

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. We truly are committed to helping our students become safe drivers for life.
