Course Overview
Utah does not require adult driver education. Adults 19 and older are not required to complete driver education but must hold a learner permit for 90 days, complete 40 hours of supervised driving (including 10 at night), and pass the knowledge and driving tests to receive a full, unrestricted Utah 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.
