Driver Education FAQs

Common Questions

What age can my teen start Driver Ed? +
Students must be at least 15 years and 9 months old to begin classroom instruction. Behind-the-wheel training begins at 15 and a half. Adults 18 and older can enroll at any time with no age restriction.
How long does the program take? +
The 30-hour classroom component typically runs 3-5 weeks depending on your schedule. Behind-the-wheel sessions are scheduled separately and can be completed concurrently. Most students complete the full program in 6-10 weeks.
What is the difference between in-person and virtual? +
Both are fully MVA-approved and produce the same Completion Certificate. In-person is held at our classroom facility. Virtual uses live Zoom with the same instructor and curriculum. The BTW component is always in-person regardless of which classroom option you choose.
Does my teen need a Learner's Permit before enrolling? +
No. You can enroll at Dayspring before obtaining the Learner's Permit. We recommend getting the permit within the first 2 weeks of classroom instruction so you can begin behind-the-wheel sessions on schedule.
Can I do BTW sessions on weekends? +
Yes. BTW sessions are available Monday through Saturday by appointment. We do our best to accommodate school, work, and extracurricular schedules. Pickup and drop-off is available within our service area.
What vehicles are used for BTW training? +
All BTW sessions use modern, clean, dual-brake vehicles maintained and insured by Dayspring. All vehicles are approved by the Maryland MVA for driver education purposes.
What happens if my student fails a quiz or exam? +
Students who do not pass a classroom assessment are given opportunities to retake it. Our instructors work with every student individually to ensure understanding before advancement.
Is there a payment plan? +
Yes. All packages offer a deposit + balance structure. A deposit secures your seat immediately, and the balance is due before your final examination. We also offer flexible arrangements for families that need them - contact us to discuss.
