TESTIMONIAL

“It was amazing how fast this six week course provided me with the basic skills. The self-paced lessons are well organized and the instructors know their stuff and want us to learn. The classes don’t take as much time as a college course and they provide basic skills in all sorts of computer programs.”

-Julie Bolding,
Ed2Go Student

One of the hidden assets of the CCC Education Building is the opportunity to rent classrooms for educational activities in the Pierre area. This gives people from Central South Dakota, access to classes they need right here, instead of traveling and staying out of town for up to 5 days of classes. The rooms have always worked great for these classes!

Driver Education Courses

Driver Education is a non-credit class offered in Pierre, approximately four to six (4-6) times per year. Our goal is to coach students to learn and retain the necessary skills to drive safely and take all steps possible to avoid any form of roadway trouble in the future. PLEASE NOTE: The Driver Education courses are not affiliated with any school district; however, some instructors of the course are teachers in the community.

Scheduling

Capital City Campus's Driver Education classes are usually held in the spring/summer and fall each year. Participants are encouraged to sign up early- get on our Waiting List, as the sessions tend to fill up quickly. Dates and times are tentative and subject to change.

The behind-the-wheel driving schedule will be created by the driving instructors and will be discussed with students and/or their guardians.

Driver Certification Requirements

Driver Education students are required by state regulations to complete thirty (30) hours of classroom instruction, six (6) hours of behind-the-wheel observation and instruction, and one-hundred eighty (180) hours of adult/parent observation time. Students must pass test with at least 80% grade. Students do not need an Instructional Permit to take the Driver Education course. Upon completion of the Driver Education course, the certificate is valid for one (1) year.

Safety is our biggest concern. Adults of any age are able to take the Driver Education course. Children wanting to take the course must be 14 by the date given by the Instructors for each specific course.
