Kentucky Adult Driver Education (Recommended Online Course)

Kentucky does not require adult driver education. Adults 18 and older must pass the KYTC knowledge test (40 questions, 80% to pass — 32 correct), a vision test, and the road skills test to receive a full, unrestricted Kentucky 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 KYTC 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 Kentucky driver education program.

Kentucky does not require driver education, but teen permit holders must log 60 hours of supervised driving — 10 at night — and hold the permit 6 months before an intermediate license at 16 that restricts driving midnight–6 a.m. and limits the driver to one passenger under 20. Adults 18 and older skip the intermediate stage and its curfew and passenger limits, and apply directly for a full Kentucky license by passing the KYTC knowledge, vision, and road skills tests.
