State-Approved Driver Education for Charlotte Teens

Our NCDMV-approved teen program pairs 30 hours of classroom instruction with 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training — exactly what a North Carolina student needs before applying for a Level 1 Limited Learner Permit.

What's included

  • 30 hours of classroom instruction, in person at our Independence Blvd. location or live online
  • 6 hours of in-car training: 3 hours driving, 3 hours observing a classmate
  • Driving Eligibility Certificate (DEC) issued the week you finish
  • One free reschedule for any missed classroom session
  • Dual-control vehicles, insured and inspected before every lesson

Who it's for

Students who are at least 14 years and 6 months old and enrolled in a Mecklenburg County public, charter, private, or home school.

How enrollment works

  1. Pick a classroom session that fits your school calendar.
  2. Complete registration and upload proof of enrollment.
  3. We schedule your three driving sessions once classroom hours are done.

Sessions fill quickly around school breaks — we recommend booking six to eight weeks ahead.
