Driver Education
This fully narrated supplemental drivers ed program will help will provide first-time drivers a comprehensive understanding of rules of the road, state laws, driving techniques and much more. Although this course does not satisfy your Alaska drivers education requirements, this course is a great way for a first-time driver to get prepared for their upcoming learner's permit test.
This course includes six hours of full driver ed training giving the student a full multimedia learning experience. The student will have access to eight of the premier driver education videos and, finally, the student will test his or her knowledge with three permit practice tests. Once completed, the student will be ready to pass his or her test with flying colors.
Driver education courses in Alaska are offered to beginner drivers, ages 14 and older, who are planning to apply for their learner's permits and driver's licenses. Driver's training refresher courses for experienced drivers with multiple or repeat traffic offenses are also available, as is traffic school.
Taking driver's education or a driver's training class, regardless of your age or driver's license status, is a great way to gain familiarity with the rules of the road, learn how to operate a car and uphold the traffic laws. Most driver education classes will teach lessons in the classroom and offer behind-the-wheel experience, beyond what you can learn in the driver's handbook.
