Driver Education:

If you are between 14 1/2 and 21, you can attend a program offered by your public school district (most Idaho school districts offer driver training). You don't actually have to be a public school student to take a training course at a public school.

You also have the option of attending a commercial school approved by the Department of Education. You can download a current list of licensed commercial schools and instructors to help you locate one nearest you.

Choose the program that best suits you and get ready to rack up some classroom hours―30 to be exact. You'll also spend six hours of in-car observation in a driver-training car and six hours behind the wheel with an instructor in your passenger seat.

A public school program will have you training for a period of no less than 42 days when regular school is in session (30 when it's not). A commercial school has a minimum period of only 10 days.
