Reminders: MN law states students must be at least 14 years old to enroll in Driver's Education. However, it is recommended that students be at least 14½ to take the 30-hour classroom instruction to help ensure they retain the material before taking the permit (knowledge) test at the age of 15.
Once your student has successfully completed the 30 hours of online classroom instruction, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to contact Community Education to ensure the student is entered into the BLUE e-Card database. If the office is not notified, student will not show up in e-card database. Once the student has been successfully entered, you will receive an email confirmation from MN_DPS.
Community Education offers limited In-Person Classes. Please call our office for future offerings.
