Parent Taught Course Information

“Is Parent Taught Driver’s Ed Right For You?”

Parent-Taught Driver’s Ed is an alternative option to the traditional driver’s education course, but it’s not for everyone. The complete Parent Taught Driver’s Education Course includes 32 hours of online instruction, 14 hours of behind the wheel parental instruction and 30 hours of practice driving.


What if I want my teen to take the theory online, but I want a professional to teach the driving?

We can help! Teens can take the 32 hours of Parent Taught theory online and then take the 14 hours of behind the wheel instruction with a certified Austin Driving School driving instructor. During this time, they will also log in 30 hours of practice driving with a licensed driver. Keep in mind that even though the theory is being taken online, it is still considered a Parent Taught Course. The TDLR approved parent is the “Official Instructor” for the theory portion of the course.


What if I want my teen to take a traditional classroom course, but I want to teach the driving?

We can help with that to! Teens can take the 32 hours of theory at any of our convenient 18 locations, and then do the 14 hours of driving instruction with a TDLR approved parent. During this time, they will also log in 30 hours of practice driving with a licensed driver. The behind the wheel portion of the course is considered a Parent Taught Course, and the TDLR approved parent is the “Official Instructor” for that portion of the course. Don’t worry! Austin Driving School will provide an extensive, easy to use illustrated guide. This will help you teach your teen how to drive just in case you may not remember everything you were taught back when you took driver education.


How exactly does it work?

There are some important steps you must take to be eligible for Parent-Taught Driver’s Ed as well as important roles and responsibilities. Your first step is to complete a Parent Taught Application with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Once you have been approved, you will receive a Parent Taught Driver Ed Program Guide filled with important information and forms. Once you have received your TDLR guide, you can now register and begin the online portion of the course. Even though the course is being taken online, the parent is considered the “Official Instructor” of the theory and behind the wheel course.

Parent Taught Course Structure
The course has twelve teaching units. The materials are completely online. After each unit is a review quiz, to help you learn the content.

Course Duration
You can finish the course at your own pace – most people take around 32 hours. However, Texas requires you to do it over at least 16 days – so start now to avoid delaying your license.

Final Quiz
At the end is an online final quiz to get your certificate. There are 50 multiple choice questions, and you need 80% to pass. After taking the course, you will find it easy to pass. If you have any problems, you can keep taking the test (for free) until you pass.

Free Delivery
We will mail your certificate of completion via U.S. mail. Faster delivery options are available if you need the certificate sooner
