The Online Classroom

What it is

Minnesota's Department of Vehicle Services requires 30 hours of classroom driver education before anyone can get their license. Our online course is the state-approved way to complete that requirement — without sitting in a physical classroom on someone else's schedule.

You log in whenever it suits you, work through the material at your own pace, and your progress saves automatically. Most students finish in about two weeks. The moment you complete it, your certificate is issued.

Who it's for

Teens starting out. Every new teen driver needs these 30 classroom hours before behind-the-wheel training. This is step one. (If you want the full path — classroom plus in-car lessons plus test prep — the Teen Package bundles it all and the classroom is already included.)

Adults who already drive. If you learned to drive years ago, or in another country, and you simply need Minnesota's required classroom certificate, this is all you need. Do it from home in your own time, then go take your road test. Add Road Test Day if you'd like coaching and our approved car for the exam.

Available in your language

The course — and the instructors behind it — are available in English, Somali, and Spanish. When you're learning rules that matter this much, being able to work through them in the language you think in makes a real difference.

How it fits the bigger picture

The classroom is the first of three steps to a Minnesota license: classroom → behind-the-wheel → road test. Finishing the classroom unlocks the rest. When you're ready for in-car practice, our behind-the-wheel lessons and Road Test Day are here whenever you need them.
