Classroom Instruction (30 hours) & Behind-the-Wheel Training (6 hours)
Driver Education is a non-credit class offered here 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. The Driver Education Certificate of Completion is valid for one year from the date of signature to waive testing at the exam station. A student must be 14 years of age to obtain their Instruction Permit and the start time for the 180-day requirement of the Graduated Licensing System, (Typically 275-days), will begin once a student has received their permit, after completion of Driver Education.
