Connecticut Adult Driver Education (Recommended Online Course)

Connecticut does not require adult driver education. Adults 18 and older must pass the DMV knowledge test (25 questions, 80% to pass — 20 correct), a vision test, and the road test to receive a full, unrestricted Connecticut 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 DMV 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 Connecticut driver education program.

Connecticut's 16- and 17-year-olds must complete an 8-hour safe driving practices course, a 2-hour parent training session, and 40 hours of behind-the-wheel practice, and hold the learner's permit 6 months (reduced to 4 months with driver education) before a road test — but adults 18 and older are not subject to that program and apply directly for a full license. Connecticut knowledge tests are by appointment only and must be prepaid through the DMV online service, so adults should schedule the 25-question exam (20 correct to pass) and a vision test in advance.
