ALASKA
DRIVER EDUCATION
 

Driver Ed in a Box® will satisfy all of your teenager’s driver education needs and at the same time teach them to become a safe, collision-free driver.  In Alaska, you do not need to take any other driver education course (either through the School system or from a commercial school).

 

The first 6 hours of the classroom included in our course, combined with the Alaska Driver Manual, will give your teen all the information they need to take their examination and receive their Instruction Permit at age 14. 

 

The Driver Ed in a Box® program gives you the tools to master the skills of each section of driving (we break it down to Parking Lot, Neighborhood, Two Lane and Four Lane Light Traffic, Freeway, Rural and Heavy Ttraffic).  With our checklist and audio CDs, it allows the student to master the skills required in each area at their own pace before moving on to the next section.  All of this is completed during the state required permit time and more than satisfies the 40 hours of behind-the-wheel (BTW) instruction Alaska requires. Once you have had your permit a minimum of 6 months and are at least 16 (Alaska state requirements), you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test.

 

To obtain a Provisional Driver’s License, the student must have a verification form provided by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), signed by a parent or legal guardian verifying that the applicant has COMPLETED a minimum of 40 hours of BTW practice, including 10 hours of practice in inclement weather.  Please remember to take the consent form with you.  You can simply go to the following link and print the form:
