How long are driving classes?

I want to get my driver’s license as quickly as humanly possible. However, I’m the oldest child in my family, and my parents don’t remember how long driving classes take. How long should I expect driving classes to be?

Getting enough driving lessons and classes is sure to make you a
safer driver
! While requirements vary from state to state, you generally need:
  • 30 hours of driving classes (required)
  • Six one-hour lessons with a certified driving instructor (required)
  • 25 to 45 hours of driving with a friend or family member (recommended but not required)
The reason that you need this much practice is so you know the rules of the road and you feel confident behind the wheel. Some states also allow intensive classes, which may allow you to get the coursework and classes you need in one to two weeks.
If you can master the driving classes and pass the necessary tests, you’re well on your way to getting your driver’s license. The only thing left to do is use the
