Phase 1

Classroom Hours

32 Hours

Once a school administrator has enrolled the students into DrivingQuest, they will now have access to the online drivers ed program.

Schools who are using DrivingQuest as an elective will have ability to set time restrictions allowing students to access the online course between a specified time.

For example:
If a school has a drivers ed elective from 1:00 – 2:00 pm, the school admin can set a time restriction to allow students to have course access ONLY on those times.
  • The official Learner License certificate will be issued during this phase. This will be submitted to DPS to obtain the official Learner License.
School admins accounts
The school admin portal will allow admin users to:
  • Add students into DrivingQuest drivers ed course
  • Edit student account details
  • Check progress of students
  • Change student password/ Restrict access ofstudent accounts
Phase 2

Submit Certificate to DPS

Obtain Permit

After the student reaches the first 6-hours of the online course, they will receive their certificate via email. This Learner License certificate-(DE964) will need to be submitted to Department of Public Safety (DPS) to receive their official Learners License “driving permit”.

  • DPS requires teens to hold permit for 6-months. The 6-months period begins the day the student receives their permit at DPS.
Important notes when student goes to DPS:
  • Student will NOT be required to take a written exam at DPS, since DrivingQuest will include the written exam in the online course.
  • Student will need to submit additional documents, such as: proof of residency, birth certificate, social security and a verification of enrollment.
  • Student will take a vision exam and submit fingerprints.
  • Parent and student will also sign a Driver’s License application.
Phase 3

Driving Hours

44 Hours

In Texas, teens are required to complete a total of 44 hours of in-car training. Parents will self certify driving hours using parent taught.

Parent Taught Method

If a parent chooses to complete parent taught method, they are able to complete all 44-hours of in-car training with their child. Driving logs also will be provided for this program.

Additionally, Texas requires parents to purchase the TDLR Parent Taught guide application (PTDE.) This application must be purchased separately from DrivingQuest and is not included in cost of the DrivingQuest program.

  • Due to the recent pandemic, parents have opted into the Parent Taught method for the safety of their children. This method is also more cost effective since the parent will not have to pay for the in-car driving hours with a driving school.
Phase 4

Impact Texas
Teen Course

ITTD

After student completes all classroom and in-car driving hours, they will then be able to complete the Impact Texas Teen Driver (ITTD) course. This two-hour course will be completed online through the DPS website.

  • The student will receive an Impact Texas Teen Driver certificate which will be needed for the final driving test.
Phase 5

Final Driving Test
