A more complete syllabus will be sent home for students and parents to sign.
- A student may only miss 3 days* of the classroom session of Drivers Education. More than those 3 days* will result in a failure of the class and the student will have to repeat the course.
- Students must complete 30 hours of classroom instruction.
- Students must complete 6 hours observation and 6 hours behind the wheel instruction.
- Students must also practice driving a minimum of 50 hours, including 10 hours of nighttime driving, supervised by a parent or adult age 21 or older with a valid driver's license.
- Complete state requirements for the Illinois Graduated Driver License may be found at: https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/dsd_a132.pdf
Students will be given the appropriate forms and information necessary to obtain their instruction permits as soon as the Rules of the Road booklet is covered in class and the State of Illinois written exam is passed. Students may begin driving with their parents as soon as an instruction permit has been issued to them. Behind-the-Wheel instruction will begin at the end of the classroom phase and students will be scheduled for instruction according to their birth dates.
Each day of Behind the Wheel training has a possibility of 20 pts earned. Points will be deducted during the drive for errors. The final driving test is worth 100 points. Each student must earn 80 points or higher in order to pass the final driving test.
Students who earn an A or B will receive their completed CDTP Certificate to take with them to the DMV (provided they pass the final driving test).
Students who earn a C will not receive their completed CDTP Certificate to take with them to the DMV.
