Why students choose this class here
Satisfies Joshua's Law in full
Our 30-hour driver education course meets the Georgia driver education requirement for a Class D license. Open to teens aged 15 and under 18.

A certified instructor teaches in real time, not pre-recorded videos. Teens can ask questions live, and parents don't have to drive them to a classroom.

Georgia Driver Education Grant Scholarship
Georgia runs a grant scholarship that can cover driver education for eligible teens, and we are an authorized provider — so an awarded scholarship can be redeemed here. If your teen is 15 and under 18 and already holds a valid Georgia learner's permit, it is worth ten minutes of your time to check before you pay for anything.
Who can apply
- Georgia residents aged 15 and under 18
- Must hold a valid Georgia learner's permit at the time of application
- Applied for directly through the state portal, not through the school
How to apply
Open the state application portal
Go to the Georgia Driver Education Grant Scholarship online application portal. Applications are handled by the state, not by the school, so apply directly through the official site.
Choose “Student Login”
Select the Student Login option on the portal home page and follow the on-screen registration instructions to begin a new application.
Create your account and submit your information
Create the student account and submit the required information, including the student's valid Georgia learner's permit details.
Check your email and finish registering
Open the confirmation email from the portal and complete the final registration steps. Applications are not considered submitted until this step is done.
Bring us your redemption code
Once the scholarship is awarded you receive a redemption code. Call us with it and we will book your teen's course against it — you do not pay us for the covered portion.
Apply before the course starts, not after
Scholarships must be awarded before a student begins their driver education course. If a student or parent pays out of pocket and begins the course while an application is still open, that application can be reconsidered. If you think you may be eligible, apply first and call us second — we will hold a place while you wait.
The scholarship is administered by the State of Georgia, not by us, so applications go through the portal directly. Once it is approved, call us with your redemption code and we will get your teen booked in.
From first call to certificate
Call and book your place
We will tell you when the next class starts, what the sessions look like around school, and what else Georgia still requires of your teen.
Attend the 30 hours on Zoom
Live sessions with a certified instructor until the state-required 30 hours are complete.
Add the in-car hours
Alongside the 30 hours, Georgia asks for either 6 hours of professional behind-the-wheel training or 40 hours of parent-taught practice. Most families book the in-car lessons with us at the same time as the course.
Collect your certificate
You receive the completion certificate DDS needs. The road test itself is booked with DDS directly.
Driver's Ed (Joshua's Law) — answered
If your question is not here, call us. We answer this exact list on the phone all day.
What exactly does Joshua's Law require?
A 30-hour driver education course, plus either 6 hours of professional in-car lessons or 40 hours of parent-taught driving. Those are not the whole picture though: on top of either route, every teen needs 40 hours of supervised driving including 6 at night, and must hold a learner's permit for 1 year and 1 day before applying. Our course is open to teens aged 15 and under 18, so it can be started well before the licence application itself.
How does the Zoom class work?
It is a live class on a schedule. A certified instructor teaches each session, your teen joins on a computer or tablet with the camera on, and the 30 hours are completed across the scheduled sessions. Call for the next start date and the session times. If a fixed class time will not work around sport, school or a job, there is also a state-approved self-paced version through our partner Safe2Drive — both satisfy Joshua's Law.
Does my teen need a learner's permit to start?
Not for the 30-hour course — it can be started at any point, including while they are studying for the permit. The permit is required before any behind-the-wheel lesson.
What if my teen misses a session?
Call us as soon as you know. Because this is a live class rather than something taken alone, the 30 hours have to be completed with an instructor — we will work out how to make up what was missed rather than leaving your teen short of the requirement.
Is there financial help available?
Yes. The Georgia Driver Education Grant Scholarship can cover driver education for eligible Georgia teens aged 15 and under 18 who hold a valid learner's permit. Families apply directly through the state portal — the steps are listed on this page.
Do you also do the behind-the-wheel hours?
Yes, as a separate course. Lessons are one-on-one in a dual-control car, booked in 2-hour sessions, and 6 hours satisfies Georgia's requirement in place of 40 parent-taught hours. Call and we will price the two together.
Request a place on Driver's Ed (Joshua's Law)
Send this and we will call you back to confirm a date. If you are working to a court deadline, say so in the message and we will prioritise it.
