Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Is the 8hr safe driving course mandatory for 16 and 17 year olds in Connecticut?

How much is the 8 hour driving class in CT?
The price varies slightly by provider, but most DMV-approved schools charge around $150 for the full 8-hour safe driving course. A quality course should always include same-day CS-1 certificate delivery, so you can book your road test without delay.
When should a teen take the 8hr safe driving course?
ou can enroll any time after getting a Connecticut learner’s permit. The DMV requires teens to hold their permit for 180 days before the road test, so many families schedule the class early to avoid delays.
