How much does driver education cost in American Fork?

How many hours of driver education does Utah require?

For drivers under 19, Utah requires 18 hours of classroom instruction at a commercial or private school (27 hours at a high school, 30 hours online) and 6 hours behind the wheel with a certified instructor. Observation hours aren't required by state law for commercial schools, though many include them. Teens also need 40 hours of supervised practice driving logged with a parent or guardian, 10 of which must be at night. The requirement is the same in American Fork as everywhere else in the state. (Source: Utah Driver License Division, dld.utah.gov.)

Does my teen need a learner's permit before their first drive in American Fork?

Yes. A valid Utah learner's permit must be in hand before any behind-the-wheel session. You can get one at age 15 after passing the written knowledge test, and if they're 15 to 17 they must hold it at least six months before licensing. Schools in American Fork will not put a student in the car without it.

Can the school that trained my teen also give the road test?

No. Your final road test cannot be administered by the school that trained you. When we match you in American Fork, we account for this and tell you which nearby schools can legally test you.

Where do I take the road test near American Fork?

The nearest Utah Driver License Division office to American Fork is the Orem office at 759 North 1370 West, Orem. Many of our partner schools are also approved third-party testers closer to home — remember your final road test cannot be with the school that trained you.
