Note to Parents

Due to scheduling "behind the wheel time" for all of our students, your child may only get about four days of driving time during this course. Therefore, it is extremely important that you provide as many opportunities as possible outside of school for your child to practice his or her driving skills under your supervision.

Third-Party Testing Program

Students may take advantage of the Third-Party Testing program in school systems where the program is available. The Third-Party Testing program was implemented in response to Act No. 2000-241 that allows driver educations teachers to be a designated third-party testing agent of the Alabama Department of Public Safety to administer the driver portion of the licensing exam. The Alabama Department of Education offers an eight-hour certification class taught at various sites throughout the state whereby certified driver education teachers are able to become authorized to administer the driver license skills test. The Alabama Department of Education continually monitors the Third-Party Testing programs for accuracy and reliability.
