The comprehensive driver education course includes 32 hours of classroom instruction as well as 7 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction, and 7 hours of observation with a licensed instructor. All classroom teachers and driving instructors are NEISD employees who are licensed by the state to instruct driver education. Students will additionally need to complete 30 hours of driving with their parent. Our 7-Step Program Flyer and FAQ can be found by clicking this link. The posted schedule is for the completion of the classroom instruction only, which is completed in person. On the 4th day of classroom instruction, students will be provided the certificate to obtain their permit. Once their permit is obtained, students will have access to our behind-the-wheel scheduling system, which allows them to select available drives at their convenience. Scheduling behind-the-wheel is completed by the parent and student. When registering for the comprehensive course, please make sure to complete and return the contract by/on the first day of instruction. Students must be 15 on or before the first day of class.
