Online Colorado Driver's Ed
Have you ever thought about online driver education before? Are you wondering how it works? If the idea of spending days cooped up inside a classroom doesn't appeal to you, don't worry — you have other options! In fact, the Colorado DMV has approved select providers to administer Colorado Driver's Ed entirely online. So, you can skip the classroom altogether and learn at your own pace, in your own home and on your own schedule.
How Do Online Courses Work?
While classroom style courses usually follow the traditional lecture and textbook format, online courses present the material in three engaging ways: text, video and interactive animations. This helps to ensure that students with every learning style absorb the material in a way that's easiest for them. So, whether you're a visual learner or prefer to listen or read along, online learning can work for you.

Why Online?
Online driver's ed has five major benefits for students and their families:
- Flexible schedules — complete lessons wherever and whenever you want.
- Self-paced learning — log on and off as needed, course saves your progress.
- Low cost — save money and time compared to classroom courses.
- Use any mobile device — complete course on any device with internet access.
- Our customer care team is available by phone, chat and email.
Online courses are convenient because they work around your busy schedule — not the other way around. Instead of being shuffled to and from your driver education class, you can access it right on your phone, or any other device with internet connectivity. You can take the course before school, after practice, before bed or on the weekends — it's entirely up to you.
With online learning, you can learn at your own pace and spend as much time as you need on a section, rather than trying to keep up with the rest of the class. If you understand a concept prettily easily, you can move on, once the state-required timers have run to zero.
Because you're reading through the material on your own device instead of utilizing a classroom and instructor, online providers can offer the course at a significantly lower cost while still teaching you everything you need to know before hitting the road. Affordability is another major benefit to choosing online driver education — so you and your family can save for other expenses that go hand-in-hand with driving.
Behind-The-Wheel
Colorado requires you to complete some behind-the-wheel training before getting your license. You can complete 12-hours of behind-the-wheel practice with your parent or guardian, or you can complete 6-hours of behind-the-wheel training at a driving school. The driving school will be more expensive, but with the money you saved taking your driver's ed course online, it remains a viable option.
Classroom Versus Online
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which method of learning is best for you. If you're looking for a flexible, affordable course that fits around your schedule, consider taking driver's ed online — you'll learn the exact same material you would cover in a classroom from the comfort of your own computer, iPad or mobile device
