Montana Teen Driver Education (Recommended Online Course)

Montana does not require driver education. To get a learner permit at 14, you pass the MVD knowledge test (33 questions, 80% to pass — 27 correct) and a vision test. You must then hold the permit for at least 6 months and log 50 hours of supervised driving — including 10 hours at night — with a licensed adult 18 or older before the road test for a First-Year Restricted License at 15. A First-Year Restricted License restricts driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. and limits you to no more than one passenger under 18 for the first 6 months (no more than three for the second 6 months). A full, unrestricted Montana license follows after holding the restricted license for at least 12 months with a clean record (minimum 16), or at 18. This recommended online course does not change those MVD 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 MVD requirement, does not reduce the 6-month permit holding period, and is not a substitute for the 50 hours of supervised driving Montana requires while you hold your learner permit.

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 Montana driver education program.
