How It Works
This Wisconsin certified driver education program allows new motorists to complete the classroom portion of their training online from any device with an internet connection. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can start and stop as needed.
Students must be at least 15 years old to begin. A parent or guardian must submit a Parent/Guardian Agreement form before the student can proceed. The 30-hour course must be completed over a minimum of 21 days and allows for six months of study, giving participants the ability to learn at their own pace.
After passing the final exam, download your Certificate of Completion immediately from the course dashboard. Next, study the Wisconsin Motorists' Handbook to prepare for the Wisconsin Knowledge Test, which you can schedule at your local DMV. Bring your completion certificate and necessary identification on test day.
Upon passing, you'll obtain your instruction permit, allowing you to practice operating a vehicle with a licensed adult. After holding your permit for at least six months, completing the required behind-the-wheel training and satisfying all other license requirements, you can then schedule your road test with the DMV to earn your probationary license.
