The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel training. All Durham city/county students who are at least 14 ½  years old and enrolled in a public, private, charter or home school in Durham are eligible to take Driver Education with Durham Public Schools. 

Students wishing to take Driver Education must be eligible to receive a driver eligibility certificate. Students who have failed two or more classes the previous semester are not eligible to take Driver Education.  

To take Driver Education with Durham Public Schools a student must be in one of these categories: 

• Attend a Durham Public School high school

• A student must be 14 ½ years of age on the first day of class. 

DPS will be using an on-line payment system for the $45 fee for Driver Education. The fee will be paid by credit card or with debit card.
