Under Iowa's graduated licensing system, teens who have already obtained a driver’s permit must also complete a state-approved or comparable driver education course at their public high schools to be eligible to receive an intermediate license at the age sixteen.
The classroom hours required for new drivers equate to about 30 hours total. Additionally, at least 3 hours of on road experience are required with you behind the wheel, and another 3 are required where you can be behind the wheel or using a simulator.
Fees for driver education depend on where you end up going for class. For more information on this and related questions please call (515) 237-3180
