Wisconsin requires that all drivers under the age of 18 take a local driver education course either through the public school system, if offered, or through an available commercial driving school.  At this time there is NO provision for a parent taught course.

Teen drivers may apply for an instruction permit at the age of 15 1/2, with the approval of a parent or legal guardian.  Driver Ed in a Box® gives you the tools to work with your teen during the permit stage.  Wisconsin requires you spend a minimum of 30 hours supervising your teen driver during the permit time.  Our course will guide you past the handling skills learned in traditional driver education, giving you the tools you need to teach the skills your teen driver needs to become a safe, collision-free driver.  By combining the 30 hours Wisconsin requires with the tools you receive in Driver Ed in a Box®, you will help your teen build the habits of safe, collision-free driving (click here to access our Product Description page).  Driver Ed in a Box® creates habits that are proven to be effective (see Survey).  

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 Traffic). 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.    Once you are at least 16 (Wisconsin state requirements), you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test.

Parent/student comments:

"The program gives detailed instructions on how to instruct your teen, everything is clearly laid out, and the information given really works." - Eve Messick, Parent

"Driver Ed in a Box® broadened my mind to new concepts of driving that I had never heard before. I do feel more prepared to join the traffic pattern. I now try to always stay patient, cautious and cooperative when driving. The program helps me to relax when I am on the road." - Devin C. Miles, Student

"Driver Ed in a Box® was very easy to understand. It allowed the parent to be in the "driver's seat" when determining if and when their teen is ready to drive." - J.M., Parent
