Arkansas Teen Driver Education (Recommended Online Course)
Arkansas does not require driver education to get a learner's license at 14 — you only need to pass the Arkansas DFA knowledge and vision tests. This recommended, supplemental online course is not a state-approved course and is not required; it helps you build the essential driving skills, confidence, and safe driving habits you need to pass the DFA road skills test and become a safer driver. With clear language, fresh graphics, fun videos, and interactive 3-D animations, you'll stay engaged and retain the knowledge you need. You may also qualify for an auto insurance discount through participating insurance providers.
Who Is This Course For?
Arkansas teens preparing for the learner's license at 14 and the DFA road skills test 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 driver education. To get a learner's license at 14, you pass the DFA knowledge test (25 questions, 80% to pass) and a vision test. You must then hold the learner's license for at least 6 months, driving supervised by a licensed adult 21 or older, before the road skills test for an intermediate license at 16. A full, unrestricted Arkansas license follows at 18. This recommended online course does not change those DFA requirements — it is a supplemental study tool that helps you build the skills and knowledge to pass the road test.
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, does not reduce the 6-month learner's license holding period, and is not a substitute for the supervised driving Arkansas requires while you hold your learner's license.
You may qualify for an auto insurance discount through participating insurance providers — ask your insurance agent for details. This is a recommended supplemental course, not a state-approved Arkansas driver education program.
