Point to Remember
Contact us in advance of when you wish your teen to start GDL. Failure to apply in advance may delay enrollment until the next session.
Your teen must be at least 14 years, 8 months of age to begin Segment 1 of driver’s education.
Please notify us if your teen has any physical or medical conditions that might affect his or her classroom or driving instruction.
Vision screening will be required prior to your teen’s approval to begin the behind-the-wheel instruction as part of Segment 1 of the driver education course.
Obtain a certified copy of your teen’s birth certificate—hospital birth certificates are not acceptable. Certified birth certificates are available from the county clerk’s office of the county where your teen was born.
A Passport will also be accepted.
Make plans to ensure your teen has safe transportation to and from the Segment 1 class.
The driver’s education Segment 1 Certificate of Completion is NOT a permit to drive and cannot be treated as a driver’s license.
