Step Three: Obtain Your Driver's License

The Instruction Permit allows you to now begin taking Virtual Drive of Texas concurrent learning program. Your student will begin by starting on Module 2. The course will prompt the student to alert the instructor when it is time to take a behind the wheel lesson. The Parent Disk 3 guides the instructor through this process. Once your student is 16, has held the permit for 6 months, and has completed this 32 hour in class program and the 14 hours of behind the wheel training, he/she is eligible to apply for an unrestricted Driver License through your DPS office. Because our course is approved, your student will not be required to take the written or driving test administered by the DPS. The Virtual Drive Certificate of Completion is proof that these tests were taken through the course.
