How It Works

It’s Easy!

Before beginning, you MUST first complete the Parent-Taught Driver Education Instructor Designation Services Request and purchase the Parent Taught Driver Education (PTDE) Program Guide from the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR). TDLR will charge a separate fee for the PTDE Program Guide that is not included in our course fee.

  8. Buckle Up & Proceed with Caution! 

Classroom Modules 1-12 can be completed in as little as 3 weeks; and once you obtain your Learner License (Permit) from DPS, the 14 hour log can be completed in as little as one week; 

However, we allow account access for one (1) year from your receipt “Order Date” to complete the course requirements. 

All course requirements (Classroom Modules 1-12 & the 14 Hour Behind-the-Wheel Instruction Log) must be completed, DE964 certificates requested, downloaded and saved on your device, on or before one (1) year from your “Order Date.”

No, there are no additional, hidden or recurring fees for our parent taught driving course. 

However, the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR), will charge a separate fee for the PTDE Program Guide. 

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will charge a separate fee for the Learner License “Permit” and a separate fee for the Provisional License.
