Utah Drivers Ed Frequently Asked Questions
We know navigating the rules and regulations of getting your drivers license in Utah can be daunting but Joyce’s Driving School is here to help you easily and safely get your drivers education completed
UTAH REQUIRED DRIVER EDUCATION HOURS:
- 30 hours of Utah approved online/home study course or 27 hours of high school classroom instruction, or 18 hours of commercial/private school classroom
- 6 hours of Behind-the-Wheel (BTW) instruction
Skill building is for teens who have completed a drivers education program elsewhere but still need some practice with an instructor to hone their driving skills.
If you cannot comfortably sit next to your student, give them an address of where to go, then sit quietly next to them as they navigate their way there, without any prompts from you, they are not ready to be in the car alone and may need some extra help from our instructors.
We have many Skill Building options to suit everyone’s needs.
After registering, log into the STUDENT PORTAL with the credentials we provided to you when we activated your student account. Form there, you should see a calendar. Click on any of the “green days” to see available time slots on that particular day.
In order to keep times open for all of our students, we limit the number of drives any one student can book in the future. You can always have two drives scheduled in the future. This also gives you time to practice what we are teaching you in your lessons. PRACTICE EVERYTHING WE ARE TEACHING YOU as you will see it all again for your Road Skills Test.
Learn at your own pace!
