Drivers education is the classroom portion. It teaches you the rules of the road and vehicle safety so you understand what it takes to be a good driver and you're ready for the written knowledge test. Drivers training is the in-car portion, with 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction and 6 hours of in-car observation with a driving school. In Idaho, drivers under 17 must complete both.

You must be at least 14½ to start Idaho driver education. You'll also need a driver training instruction permit before any instruction begins, and you can only drive during the class with an instructor.

You can apply at 14½ at your county driver's license office. Bring a certified original birth certificate, acceptable photo ID, your Social Security number, proof of Idaho residency, and, if you're under 18, a liability signer who is your birth parent or court-ordered guardian plus a Verification of School Compliance. You'll also pass a vision test and pay the $21.50 non-refundable fee. Your instructor holds the permit during the course and gives it to you or your parent or guardian once you pass.
