South Carolina schools offer an elective driver's education course during your high school years. Once you have passed the course, you will need to obtain a Form PLDA, which is available online using the free Adobe Reader, certifying your completion and your school attendance. You will need this form to apply for your license.
The course provides a minimum of 30 hours classroom training, six hours of behind-the-wheel driving, and six hours of observation while other students drive.
A great educational resource for all drivers is the SC Driver License Manual. You can access a copy online, or pick up one at your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Private companies also offer driver training courses. Research driving schools online and through your local phone book if you wish to receive training through this route.
