Driver’s Education Classroom Instruction

Receive State-required classroom instruction to prepare you for your permit test. Minnesota State Law requires students to be present during all 30 hours of classroom training, no make-up dates available. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a digital certification of completion (yellow card). Once your classroom portion with Community Education is over, you must arrange, schedule, and pay for Behind-the-Wheel Training separately with your choice of provider. Cost for Behind-the-Wheel Training is not included in the cost of this classroom instruction. Expect to pay $350+. Drivers between the ages of fifteen and eighteen wishing to take their instructional permit test must show proof of enrollment in six hours of Behind-the-Wheel Training. This proof of enrollment is commonly referred to as a blue card. The estimated fee for the blue card is $55. Many of the classroom instructors Minneapolis Community Education contracts also provide Behind-the-Wheel Training through their own agency and they are able to share that information with students. Students are not required to take Behind-the-Wheel Training with their classroom instructor. Minneapolis Community Education makes no recommendation for providers of Behind-the-Wheel Training but can give contact information to families of specific providers upon request.

Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Participants are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When participants sign up at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable. Regardless of the price you choose, the instruction, content and quality remain the same.

We look forward to seeing many of you in Drivers Ed! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
