Texas's most engaging online
driver's ed course for teens.
24 hours doesn't have to be boring. We built this course to be genuinely engaging - with audio, video, animations, and interactive activities - so teens actually absorb the material and walk into DPS ready to pass.

How Instructor-Led Driver's Ed Works
The licensing process has several steps - but don't worry. We'll walk you through every one and provide everything you need along the way.
After finishing the first 6 hours of coursework and passing the written test, you'll receive your DE-964E certificate. Take it, printed in color if it has a green background, to any Texas DPS office along with proof of identity and two proofs of Texas residency.
What to bring and do at DPS
- Your DE-964E certificate from finishing Unit 1
- Pass the vision test
- Proof of identity, Texas residency, and your Social Security number
- Have a parent or guardian sign your application if you're under 18
Complete all required lessons, activities, and unit quizzes through our TDLR-approved online driver education program.
What you get
- Full access to all 24 hours of course content
- Study on any device - phone, tablet, or computer
- Progress is saved automatically - pick up where you left off
- Available any time of day or night
This formal in-car training is done with a certified driving instructor, not a parent or guardian. Schedule it with us or any other certified driving school once you have your learner permit in hand.
What this covers
- 7 hours of observation with your instructor
- 7 hours of behind-the-wheel driving with your instructor
This portion can be supervised by your driving school or instructor, or by any adult who is at least 21 years old and has held a valid license for at least 1 year.
Requirements
- 30 total hours of supervised practice driving
- At least 10 hours must be at night
Impact Texas Teen Drivers (ITTD) is a free, 2-hour video course required by Texas law, run by DPS - not part of our course. It only works on a desktop or laptop, not a phone or tablet.
Good to know
- Completely free
- Certificate must be printed - DPS won't accept a digital copy
Test at any DPS location with your own registered, insured, and inspected vehicle, or through us or another driving school approved by DPS to administer the test directly.
Two options
- Test at a Texas DPS office with your own vehicle
- Test through your driving school and get a sealed envelope of results to bring to DPS instead
Once you've held your permit for at least 6 months and are at least 16, visit any Texas DPS office for your provisional license.
What to bring
- Your DE-964 certificate
- Your 30-hour practice log
- Your ITTD certificate
- Your current learner permit (surrendered) and the $16 license fee
Until you turn 18, a few restrictions apply to your provisional license.
Restrictions
- No more than 1 passenger under 21 who isn't a family member
- No driving between midnight and 5 a.m. except for work, school, or a medical emergency
- No cell phone use while driving, even hands-free

My son completed the entire 24 hours in about a week. The audio mode was perfect for him since he could listen on his phone. He passed his DPS road test on the first try!
Way better than sitting in a classroom. The interactive lessons kept my son engaged and he actually remembered what he learned. Highly recommend.
Super easy to use and my teen could do it at her own pace around her school schedule. Got her certificate within the week and headed straight to DPS.
Awesome learning experience!
This course made learning to drive super easy and fun. I highly recommend it.
Easy and efficient.
Amazing opportunity to virtually work toward getting my permit first, then my license.
Support was very friendly and responded immediately, which was awesome. Thanks so much!
My experience was great. It not only taught me the laws, violations, and rules of the road, but also valuable information I should know in case of an emergency.
I loved it. It taught me things I didn’t know. Keep up the good work, Chippy!
