Massachusetts Teen Driver Education (Recommended, Supplemental)

Massachusetts requires teens under 18 to complete a state-approved driver education program: 30 hours of classroom instruction, 12 hours of behind-the-wheel driving, 6 hours of observation, and a 2-hour parent class, before a Junior Operator License. Teens must also log 40 hours of supervised driving (or 30 hours with a Driver Skills Development Program) and hold the learner's permit for at least 6 months before the road test for a Junior Operator License at 16 years, 6 months. This recommended DriversEd.com course is a supplemental study tool — it is NOT the state-approved program and does NOT satisfy Massachusetts' required driver-education program.

This supplemental course helps you build the skills and knowledge to pass the RMV knowledge test (25 questions, 18 correct to pass — 72%) and the road 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-required 30 classroom hours, 12 behind-the-wheel hours, 6 observation hours, or the 2-hour parent class Massachusetts requires — you must complete a state-approved program 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 Massachusetts driver education program.
