Nevada 15-5 Driver Education Program

Details

Nevada DMV-Approved

Safe2Drive is approved by the Nevada DMV to offer the 15-5 driver education program.

What's the Difference Between the 15-5 Course and the 30-Hour Course?

The difference between the 2 courses is that the 15-5 Course requires 15 hours of online education and 5 hours of professional behind-the-wheel training, while the 30-hour course requires 30 hours of online instruction and no professional behind-the-wheel training.

The course you take just depends on your personal preference: would you feel more comfortable completing behind-the-wheel training with an instructor? You get to decide what works best for you!

Please Note: In addition to completing a driver education course, drivers under 18 are also required to complete 50 hours of behind-the-wheel experience to get their driver license. You must have a licensed driver who is 21 or older and has been licensed for at least one year seated next to you at all times. 10 hours of the experience must be completed in darkness.

If you are taking a 15-5 driver education course, the 5 hours of behind-the-wheel driving lessons that you are required to take with a professional driving school count toward the 50 hours of behind-the-wheel experience. You must log your behind-the-wheel driving time in the Beginner Driver Experience Log which your parent/legal guardian must sign when you apply for your Nevada driver's license.

How Does the Driver Education Course Work?

1. Register for your 15-hour course with us.
2. Pay for the course.
3. Complete the course instruction online.
4. Pass the final exam.
5. Safe2Drive will email you a Certificate of Completion after we receive your notarized affidavit verifying that you have completed the final exam without outside assistance. The Nevada DMV requires this for all online schools.
6. Sign up for and complete 5 hours of behind-the-wheel training.

How Do I Get My Instruction Permit?

To get your instruction permit, you must:

• Be at least 15 ½.
• Present proof of your identity and Nevada residential address.
• Pass a vision test.
• Pass a written test.
• Fill out the Application for Driving Privileges or ID Card (DMV 002) and have your parent/guardian sign the financial responsibility section on the application.

• Submit the Certificate of Attendance (DMV 301).

After I've Completed a 15-5 Driver Education Course, How Do I Get My Driver's License?

To get your driver’s license after you’ve completed our 15-5 driver education course, you must:

• Be at least 16 years old.
• Hold a valid instruction permit for at least six months prior to applying.
• Have no at-fault collisions in the six months before you apply for your license.
• Have no moving violation convictions in the six months before you apply for your license.
• Have no alcohol or drug convictions in the six months before you apply for your license.
• Complete 45 hours of behind-the-wheel experience with a licensed driver, who is 21 years or older and who has been licensed for at least one year, seated next to you at all times. 10 hours of this must be completed in darkness. Please note, young drivers are required to complete 50 hours of behind-the-wheel experience, but the 5 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction that you completed with a professional driving school as part of the 15-5 program counts towards these 50 hours, which is why you only need to complete 45 hours after the 15-5 course. Use the Nevada DMV’s Parents Supervised Guide for detailed lessons and tips on the skills beginning drivers need to learn to stay safe on the road. Keep a written log (DLD 130) of the dates and times of this behind-the-wheel experience. You can also use the RoadReady app. Your parent or guardian must sign the first page of the DLD-130 form.
• Pass a Driving Skills test.

Here is what you should bring with you when you go to the DMV to apply for your driver’s license:

• Your parent or guardian to sign the Financial Responsibility Statement and Affidavit for Minor to be Licensed
• Your instruction permit
• Proof of identity and Nevada residential address
• Your Driver Education Certificate of Completion
• Your completed Beginning Driver Experience Log (DLD 130) or RoadReady log printout
• The Application for Driving Privileges or ID Card (DMV 002)
• A vehicle with the Certificate of Registration and Evidence of Insurance card
• Your Certificate of Attendance (DMV 301)
• The licensing fee
