Frequently Asked Questions

No, of course not! Driver Education is not a requirement for any Indiana resident. However, it can be beneficial both in the knowledge and experience gained during the courses, as well as in some circumstances can help you get your license much sooner. Also, students who complete both a 30 hour classroom as well as at least 6 one hour lessons behind the wheel will have the option to complete a driving test with the school instead of the BMV.

Any Indiana resident over the age of 15 is eligible to take and complete the course.

Not necessarily. If the student is 15 at the time registration, we will issue you a CDE form (Certificate of enrollment) that they will need to obtain their Driver Education Learner Permit. Once you have received the certificate from us, the student will be allowed by the BMV to take the written test to obtain their permit. If the student is 16 or older at the time of registration, the CDE will not be needed to acquire the permit.

Yes. The BMV requires that students pass a written exam BEFORE a Learner Permit will be issued. They will however be required to pass a driving exam with either Signals Driving Center or the BMV prior to applying for their operator license.

Each course, either online or in-person, is $425. This will include the 30 hours of instruction and 6 hours of drive time. There are no additional costs to fulfill the state requirements.

Students can take the driving test for their license at Signals Driving Center for $45. Additional driving time of private lessons (beyond the 6 required) are available for $70 per drive. If you choose to take online elsewhere but need the 6 required drives, the cost is $385.
