Instructor-Led Driver Education Course – Drive Smart Driving School
Looking for a convenient and comprehensive teen driver education program that doesn’t require parent-taught instructor approval? Drive Smart Driving School offers a flexible, instructor-led course designed to fit your schedule.
Why Choose Instructor-Led Over Parent-Taught?
The difference between instructor-led and parent-taught driver education is important. With instructor-led programs, parents do not need to apply for instructor approval. Instead, your teen receives structured, professional guidance from state-certified instructors. This program ensures that all classroom instruction is handled by experienced educators, making it a great choice for busy families or those who prefer a more formal, guided approach.

Key Features of Our Online Instructor-Led Program:
- Cost: $100
- Availability: 24/7 – Access the course anywhere, anytime
- Flexibility: Self-paced learning

This is not a parent-taught course. Upon completion, students will need to finish their driving hours through a licensed driving school of their choice, or you can choose to complete the driving phase with us!
Classroom-Only Portion for Texas Learner’s Permit
This course is the classroom-only portion of driver education. Completing this is a critical first step toward obtaining your Texas learner’s permit. Upon passing, you will receive a Certificate of Completion to take your permit test.
