Who Is This Course For?

Arkansas adults preparing for the DFA knowledge and road tests who want a supplemental, recommended online driver education course. This course is not state-approved and is not required by the Arkansas DFA.

Course Overview

Arkansas does not require adult driver education. Adults 18 and older must pass the DFA knowledge test (25 questions, 80% to pass — 20 correct), a vision test, and the road skills test to receive a full, unrestricted Arkansas driver's license. This recommended online course is a supplemental study tool that helps you build the skills and knowledge to pass the tests. It is not a state-approved program and is not required.

The course features clear language, fresh graphics, fun videos, and interactive 3-D animations that keep you engaged and help you retain what you learn. It is 100% online and self-paced on any device. Completing it does not waive any DFA requirement — you must still pass the knowledge, vision, and road tests.

You may qualify for an auto insurance discount with eligible auto insurance companies. The discount is not guaranteed — ask your insurance agent for details. This is a recommended supplemental course, not a state-approved Arkansas driver education program.

Arkansas is one of the few states that issues a learner's license at 14 and sets no minimum number of supervised driving hours, but the learner's license must be held for at least 6 months, and teens follow an intermediate license stage at 16 with an 11 p.m.–4 a.m. curfew. Adults 18 and older skip both the learner's and intermediate stages and apply directly for a full, unrestricted Arkansas license by passing the DFA knowledge, vision, and road skills tests.
