Kansas Teen Driver Education (Recommended, Supplemental)
Kansas does not require driver education for the instruction permit at 14, but you must complete a state-approved driver education course — classroom plus behind-the-wheel instruction — and log 50 hours of supervised driving to get a Restricted Driver's License at 15. This recommended DriversEd.com online course is a supplemental study tool; it is NOT the state-approved course and does NOT replace the state-approved classroom and behind-the-wheel driver education Kansas requires for the restricted-license pathway at age 15. It helps you build the essential driving skills, confidence, and safe driving habits you need to pass the DOV knowledge test and driving test. 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?
Kansas teens preparing for the instruction permit at 14 and the driving test who want a supplemental, recommended online driver education course. This course does NOT replace the state-approved classroom + behind-the-wheel driver education Kansas requires for a Restricted Driver's License at 15.
Course Overview
Kansas does not require driver education for the instruction permit at 14, but it does require a state-approved driver education course — classroom plus behind-the-wheel instruction — and 50 hours of supervised driving (10 at night) to get a Restricted Driver's License at 15. Without driver education, you must wait until 16 for a less-restricted license. This recommended DriversEd.com course is a supplemental study tool — it is NOT the state-approved course and does NOT replace the state-approved classroom and behind-the-wheel driver education Kansas requires for the restricted-license pathway at 15.
This supplemental course helps you build the skills and knowledge to pass the DOV knowledge test (25 questions, 80% to pass) and the driving test. It features clear language, fresh graphics, fun videos, and interactive 3-D animations and is 100% online and self-paced on any device. Completing it does not satisfy the state-approved classroom or behind-the-wheel instruction Kansas requires for a Restricted Driver's License at 15 — you must complete a state-approved course for that.
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 Kansas driver education program.
