Your Path from College View Wolf to Colorado Driver
Colorado uses a Graduated Driver Licensing system. Here’s the six-step plan — and where American Driving Academy comes in.
Age 14 ½ — Start the 30-Hour Course
Begin Colorado’s required drivers education course. Take it online from home ($29.85) or in-person at our Southwest Denver classroom ($150).
Pass the Permit Knowledge Test
After finishing the course, take the permit test at our office. ADA is an authorized testing site — skip the DMV.
Age 15 — Pick Up Your Permit
Head to the DMV with a parent or guardian and your test results to receive your Colorado instruction permit.
Start Behind-the-Wheel Lessons
With your permit in hand, begin lessons with a certified ADA instructor. Students under 16 ½ need at least 6 professional hours.
Hold the Permit 12 Months
Colorado requires a 12-month permit hold (if under 18) before the license test. Use the year for real-world practice miles.
Pass the License Road Test — $85
Road test with us: about 20 minutes, no parallel parking or highway. Pass and leave with your Colorado license.
