Frequently Asked Questions

For students under 18, Wisconsin requires 30 hours of "classroom" in person or online. Wisconsin also requires a minimum of six Behind-the-Wheel lessons in a driver's ed car with a certified instructor.

For students and adults 18 or over, driver's ed is not required but strongly recommended.

The 30-hour online course is self-paced and allows you to work a maximum of 2 hours per day. It would be possible to finish it in 15 days, but most students take 4-6 weeks. We want students to finish the whole course within 90 days. There is a $30 fee to extend the course beyond 90 days.
