Massachusetts Driver Education Requirements
The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) awards Junior Operator Licenses to drivers between the ages of 16 1/2 and 18. To obtain a Junior Operator License, teens have to meet a few educational objectives:
- Graduate from a state-approved driver education school with at least 30 hours of classroom instruction, 12 hours behind the wheel, and another six hours of observation from the back seat of the training vehicle. In addition, your parents or guardians must attend a two-hour driver education class. The school will award a certificate of completion, which must be presented to the RMV when applying for the license.
- Complete an additional 40 hours of driving (30 if you attend a driver skills development program), certified on an RMV form by a parent, step-parent or guardian.
