New drivers under the age of 18 must hold an instruction permit for six months before taking the road test to receive a Class G graduated license or Class M motorcycle license. You must be at least 15 years and six months old to apply for an instruction permit, and 16 years old to apply for the graduated license.
You must pass a written test filled with questions taken from the appropriate manual. Once you receive your instruction permit, you're eligible to take professional classroom and behind-the-wheel courses to better gain an understanding of the rules of the road. The MVD provides a list of approved professional driving schools and professional motorcycle schools.
You may forego the classroom training, and instead drive a minimum of 30 hours, at least 10 hours of which are at night. A currently licensed driver who is 21 or older must be sitting next to you at all times. Your parent or legal guardian must verify in writing that you've accomplished this task.
The MVD provides more details on graduated instruction permits and licenses.
