About Driver Education
The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel training.
All Durham County students who are at least 14 ½ years old and are enrolled in a public, private, charter, or home school are eligible to take driver education in Durham Public Schools. Students wishing to take driver education must be eligible to receive an driver eligibility certificate. Students who have failed two or more courses the previous semester are not eligible,
A $45.00 fee is now required to be paid before a registration form is processed. Students that are dismissed from driver education class due to behavior or attendance problems will not be allowed to take driver education a second time through Durham Public Schools
