Our Driver’s Ed Programs in Colorado
Program Descriptions
Teenage Program — Our high-quality program for teenagers consists of thirty hours of in-class instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. The behind-the-wheel instruction takes place after the classroom instruction is completed. Teenagers who are at least 14 years and 6 months of age may take these courses.
Behind the Wheel Instruction — Students learn many concepts during their behind-the-wheel instruction. The following includes some of the things they will learn during this part of the instruction. However, they also learn other skills that are not listed here:
- Right and left turns in residential areas in traffic
- Braking, stopping, and starting
- Driving in straight traffic
- Lane placement of the automobile
- Instruments and controls
- Curb and distance judgment
- Changing lanes in traffic
- Reverse straight
- Blind intersections
- Turnabouts and U-turns
- Hill driving and parking
- Freeway driving
- Basic mechanics
- Parking in residential areas
- Blind intersections
- Shopping center parking
- Defensive driving
Home Study Program — Students may now take the classroom portion of the driving program in the comfort of their own home and at their own pace if they prefer. They will receive a copy of the classroom lectures and discussions on DVD, quizzes, videos, and a study guide and workbook to complete at home. When they have finished, they will return these materials and they may then take the behind-the-wheel instruction.
Private Lessons — Adults and teenagers may take behind-the-wheel instruction private lessons. New drivers, nervous drivers, international students, and individuals wanting to improve their driving skills take these lessons at their convenience.
