Q: What is the earliest age that my child can be to take the 30 hour classroom course with 6 hours behind the wheel?  A: A teen can take the 30-hour classroom course as young as 14 years and 6 months of age.  We do not support this, we recommend 14 years and 10 months. This allows the teen to retain the knowledge learned. We want the students to have the maturity level to accomplish this task and with age comes maturity.     Q: Is there a single resource that I can look at to understand what course my child needs to take based on their age? A: Yes, the Colorado Permit Matrix outlines what instruction is needed, an when.       Q: The 30+6 Comprehensive Driving class, can a student get their Learner's Permit BEFORE doing the 6 hours of driving? A: Yes, once a student finishes the 30 hours of classroom time, the Written Test for the Learner's Permit is administered. Once the written test is passed, the student may obtain their Learner's Permit at the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicle.  Once the Permit is obtained, they can schedule their 6 hours of Behind-The-Wheel  Training. No one drives on the streets without a Permit.    Q: Do you provide online Driver's Education courses?     A: Protect & Serve Driving Academy DOES NOT offer ONLINE course.   Learning how to handle a 3000 pound weapon is only effective when taught in a classroom setting, by the most experienced drivers possible. ONLINE CLASS DO NOT QUALIFY YOU FOR DISCOUNTS ON YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS.      Q: How long do I have to complete my 6 hours of driving after I receive my Learner's Permit? A: You must complete 6 hours of driving within 3 months of receiving your Learner's Permit.  If 3 months pass without completing the 6 hours, you can extend that time by 1 month for a $50 fee.
