ODOT Teen (15-17) and 18 + year old program

The 6 weeks ODOT program consists of classroom and behind-the-wheel hours. Classroom hours are 3 hours long twice a week Mondays and Tuesdays in Redmond.  Behind-the-wheel lesson is 2 hours a week - see drive schedule for available drive times before registration.  At the end of the course, DMV will waive the drive test to get a license for 15-17 year old.  If you are 18+ year old taking the course a DMV drive test is required after completion of course.  Important! Please look at your student schedule before signing up. It is a 6 week course and all classes/drives must be attended. It is a 2-3 day a week commitment schedule.  Life is busy so reach out to Linda if your student will need to miss a class/drive from school/sport/vacation events before signing up so she can accommodate make-up schedules.
